The AQ500 Wind Finder has since its introduction to the market become the leading remote sensing product for the wind energy industry in Europe. In just a couple of years AQSystem has delivered more than 170 units that are being used in 15 different countries around the world.

There are several reasons for the success of the AQ500 Wind Finder. It’s a mobile self-sufficient system that’s easy to deploy, install and use. And with no need for building permits, external power sources or weather restrictions, the AQ500 is sure to get the job done. Just deploy, turn it on and start collecting the data.

The AQ500 will give you accurate wind data for 100 percent of the turbine swept area. This means that the system is ideal for stand-alone measurements or as a complement to a met mast. By using only a met mast, the wind profile has to be calculated from the top anemometer to the top of the turbine swept area.

The AQ500 Wind Finder provides valuable data in the wind turbine’s entire operating area (by volume). The system offers the complete wind profile up to 200 metres in range, with a 5 metre resolution.

The system has been used and tested with very good results by well known industry operators including: Garrad Hassan, Airtricity, Vattenfall and Nordex. AQSystem therefore has a number of independent validation reports available upon request.

Independent test institutions have also shown that the AQ500 will provide accurate wind information and high data availability in heavy snowfall and rain. Customers in northern Europe can verify that the system works in very tough climates where excessive ice and snow situations can sometimes provide inaccurate wind data when relying on mast sensors alone. The secret is the specially designed heating system and the potential to increase output power when needed.

AQ500 Wind Finder has:

• The ability to measure the wind profile up to 200 metres
• Good data availability
• A reliable Sodar developed by AQSystem
• A robust and mobile design
• Been designed to operate in any weather conditions
• No need for building permits
• One switch start-up
