Abstract:
Anemometer calibration defines a relationship between the measured, signals from a test anemometer to a simultaneously collected reference, wind speed generated in a controlled test facility. There are three published, standards that present test protocols for rotating anemometers: ASTM D, 5096-02, ISO 17713-1, and IEC 61400-12-1. For sonic anemometers, two, published standards are referenced: ASTM D 6011-96 and ISO 16622. A, common requirement from all of these standards is that anemometer, calibration is to be conducted in a steady state wind tunnel, in which local, conditions would isolate the performance of the sensor from disturbances, such as vibrations and off-angle winds. Procedures in IEC 61400-12-1 also, specify that the wind tunnel reference speeds are to be measured using a, Pitot tube system. Requirements in ASTM D 5096-02, ISO 17713-1, ASTM D, 6011-96, and ISO 16622 allow the possibility of incorporating other types of, reference wind measurement systems. This paper is a supplement for the, poster presented in CANWEA 2009 and provides a review and comparison, of current anemometer calibration standards as a guide for instrument, manufacturers, distributors, and end users in defining appropriate test, protocols for certain types of anemometers.,
