Abstract
M.Ing. (Electrical & Electronic Engineering)
One of the most important steps to be taken before a site is to be selected for the
extraction of wind energy is the analysis of the energy within the wind on that particular
site. No wind energy analysis system exists for the measurement and analysis of wind
power.
This dissertation documents the design and development of a Wind Energy Analysis
System (WEAS). Using a micro-controller based design in conjunction with sensors,
WEAS measure, calculate and store the wind energy measurements relative to time.
Success of the project is demonstrated by a working prototype.
