<strong>Vaisala</strong> W<strong>in</strong>d and Weather Sensor Technologies<br />
for Measurements <strong>in</strong> Industrial Applications<br />
<strong>Vaisala</strong>'s long history <strong>in</strong> w<strong>in</strong>d and<br />
weather measurements started<br />
already <strong>in</strong> the 1930s from the<br />
development of a radiosonde to<br />
measure the conditions <strong>in</strong> the upper<br />
atmosphere. Today, <strong>Vaisala</strong> w<strong>in</strong>d<br />
and weather <strong>in</strong>struments are used <strong>in</strong><br />
dozens of applications and <strong>in</strong>dustries<br />
all over the world.<br />
Industrial Applications<br />
for W<strong>in</strong>d and Weather<br />
Measurements<br />
W<strong>in</strong>d and weather data are required<br />
<strong>in</strong> many activities across <strong>in</strong>dustries.<br />
For example, <strong>in</strong> power <strong>in</strong>dustry,<br />
the efficiency of power l<strong>in</strong>es is a<br />
function of w<strong>in</strong>d speed and direction.<br />
Nuclear power plants require w<strong>in</strong>d<br />
data for safety reasons to be able to<br />
model the dispersion of potentially<br />
radioactive leakages. In addition to<br />
nuclear power plants, also chemical<br />
factories need to gather w<strong>in</strong>d data for<br />
dispersion monitor<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Accurate outdoor measurements<br />
are essential <strong>in</strong> operat<strong>in</strong>g modern<br />
build<strong>in</strong>gs. Processes such as free<br />
cool<strong>in</strong>g, natural ventilation, and<br />
automated shad<strong>in</strong>g are dependent on<br />
real-time weather data. Ventilation<br />
control <strong>in</strong> greenhouses also relies<br />
on localized weather data to ensure<br />
an optimized environment for plant<br />
growth.<br />
