International technical inspection agency TUV SUD has approved the Lufft ultrasonic anemometer VENTUS for use on offshore wind measurement campaigns.
According to Lufft, the ultrasonic anemometer is one of a few devices that do not suffer from extended submersion in water. Therefore, the device is suited for installations on offshore wind turbines, as well as on ships or buoys. The sensors are tested and certified to provide accurate data in the harshest conditions of vibration, dust, ice, and now extremely wet and corrosive offshore environments.
