Key Benefits

Development of ever larger wind turbines is progressing at a rapid pace - very often with very little performance data from previous models. It has long been recognised that measured fatigue loads and performance data allow refinement of existing designs or development of new wind turbines to be accomplished with confidence.

Fatigue loads and performance testing of wind turbines for design verification and certification are now also commonly required. T-MON is a commercially available data acquisition system specifically designed for use on wind turbines for practical engineering applications.

It offers significant advantages over other general measurement systems:
• Minimal time from installation to data collection

• Simple installation with minimal cabling

• Modular distributed data acquisition units

• Synchronised data recordings

• Easy to use

• Remote access by modem with full functionality

• Data as required by wind energy engineers

• Cost effective solution
T-MON is a complete signal conditioning and data acquisition system. Each system has a single high performance PC base station with a number of data acquisition units (DAU's). The base station performs the functions of control, data processing and recording. The DAU's provide signal conditioning, analogue filtering and A/D conversion, or frequency measurement for the sensors.
