Welcome to Aqademy Make the most of your investment in our wind measurement products by attending our popular training course.

AQademy training course

We had our first AQademy training course in April 2013 and it was very appreciated by the participants from the start. AQademy is not a traditional ”sit at your desk and listen”-training course. Instead we mix theoretical sessions and desk exercises indoors with outdoor excursions. 

The foundation of the training course

Meteorology and Measurements. Knowledge of these two topics, in combination with high quality measurement equipment, will guarantee that you will get useful results from your measurement campaigns. We say that 50 percent of the result you get, depends on the measurement equipment, and 50 percent on how you use the equipment and analyze the collected data.

AQSystem provide both the measurement equipment and the knowledge/tools you need to be able to use it to assess the wind resource in your project.

Two days

The training course is given over two days.

All participants are guaranteed accommodation at the course venue (upon request) and we will book a room for you when registering for the training course, unless you tell us not to.

The course includes the following topics:

• How to maximize the uptime and data availability
• To assess the quality of the collected data
• Successful installation of the equipment in the field
• The importance of data availability; discussion about conditioning and correct data handling
• Assessment of measurement sites in the field
• Best practice for comparing the measurement results with traditional anemometry
• AQ510 and complex terrain; theory and exercise

Quotes from AQademy participants

Jan Näs, Wind Analyst / Meterologist - Stormgeo AS

“I don’t personally work much with the hardware, but I analyze data from the instrument very often. For me this course was excellent to get a better understanding of how the data in the instrument is actually produced and what I should think about when I analyze the data. The theory part of the course is also more general and very valuable for any wind data analyst. Therefore in my opinion, the AQademy training course is an excellent opportunity for anyone who will ever be involved in wind data analysis, and it should be a requirement for anyone working with instrument data.”

Paul Hines, Project Manager - Nordex Sweden

”Thank you for a fun and interesting training course. I can really recommend it!”

Christian Bladh, Design Manager - HSKraft

“The course was very useful and interesting and extended my knowledge in both using and interpreting data from the instrument. I enjoyed taking the course very much, largely because the educators were both responsive, competent and friendly. The course was also held in a pleasant environment and offered a mix of theory and practice, which further contributed to the excellent learning environment.“

Per Edström & Olle Viotti, Wind and Site Engineers - Sweco Energuide AB

“The instrument course clarified the aspects regarding wind measurements that are special for remote sensing systems. The instructions and methodologies that were presented in the course has been integrated in Sweco’s work scheme, both for installation of systems and evaluation of the collected data. The feedback from our customers has been very positive. The course also gave a deeper view of the remote sensing techniques which has been useful when planning and performing installation of systems as well as understanding patterns and deviations seen in the wind data series. The course instructors were very professional and the focus of the course were perfect for our work”

Iain Campbell, Wind Resource Remote Sensing Analyst - Res Group

“The AQS training course is interesting, detailed and covers a wide range of relevant topics. The course is well thought out and delivered by people who are very knowledgeable on their subject matter. The course material is clearly explained and communicated. In my experience it was an excellent environment to learn and discuss ideas on remote sensing in general. This course enhanced my understanding of important aspects of the deployment of the instrument and the analysis of data from the instrument. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone interested in the analysis of data from the instrument SoDAR device.”
