Currently, all MEASNET accredited facilities are in Europe and North America and ongoing wind measurements accuracy is critical. All wind energy projects require annual maintenance and recalibration of wind speed measurement devices to ensure reliable data, optimal turbine performance and regulatory compliance. South African wind energy projects face: 1) High costs; 2) Long lead times and 3) Logistical challenges for anemometer calibration. The CSIR offers the following solution: A local, accredited facility to serve South Africa and the continent’s wind energy sector.FulltextenMEASNETWind speed measurement standardsSouth African wind energy projectsPioneering MEASNET accreditation in Africa: CSIR’s subsonic wind tunnel facilitiesConference PresentationN/A
