Abstract
To install a wind power generator, the survey on the wind environment resources must be conducted in advance. The survey on the wind environment resources is to collect and analyze data regarding the wind speed and direction on a data logger. The data logger consists of a sensor, signal processing circuit and storage device. According to the analysis of the stored data, the amount of power generation by the types of generators can be predicted and the most optimal generator including safety grade can be selected, and in case of installing a generator in the future, it can be utilized as basic data regarding supporting base and foundation construction method of survey points. Data logger was developed for a small wind power generator that is suitable for the international standard(IEC 61400) by using DSP-F28335 micro controller in this paper. It was developed to measure the wind speed of 1 [m/s]~17 [m/s], the wind direction of 0 [$^{\circ}$]~359 [$^{\circ}$], and temperature of -30 [$^{\circ}C$]~50 [$^{\circ}C$], and the comparative experiment with other companies' data loggers was conducted, and an error was measured to be less than ${\pm}0.1$ [m/s] for wind speed and less than +1 [$^{\circ}$] for wind direction.
