Second Wind, in Partnership With Beijing New Energy Technology Co., Launches Its
Triton Wind Profiler in the World's Largest Wind Energy Market
BEIJING, Oct. 12 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
First appearance at China's foremost wind power exhibition will
give the Triton remote wind sensor higher visibility in major international
wind market
Second Wind is giving wind project developers in China the opportunity to
use the wind energy industry's leading remote sensing system by launching the
Triton Sonic Wind Profiler at this week's China Wind Power 2010
Second Wind is already a well-recognized name in China because of the
success of the company's distributor, Beijing New Energy Technology Co. Since
2000, more than 1,000 Nomad data loggers
larger number of anemometers and wind vanes have been sold into the Chinese
market. Aiming for similar success with Triton, Beijing New Energy Technology
Co. will be displaying a Triton in China for the first time at China Wind
Power 2010, as well as hosting a Technical Workshop to discuss Triton
technology and applications. Second Wind's CTO and co-founder Walter Sass,
Vice President of Sales Peter Gibson, General Manager Susan Giordano, and
Triton Product Manager Chris Babcock will attend the events.
"With a growth rate of over 100% per year, China is one of the world's
most important wind power markets, both in development potential and
technology innovation. Any company that expects to be a serious player in the
international wind power market needs a substantial presence in China," said
Peter Gibson, Second Wind's vice president of sales. "We have a very
effective partner in Michael Hu and his professional team at Beijing New
Energy Technology Co. and we know them to be a first-class partner. With
their effective sales, installation and field service support, we're
confident Chinese wind power companies will adopt Triton as eagerly as their
counterparts already have in 17 other countries."
Beijing New Energy Technology Co. will sell, install and service Tritons
throughout China. Chinese customers will monitor Tritons remotely through
Second Wind's SkyServe Web-based data service using GPRS, a service of
locally available GSM cellular networks.
Triton is a ground-based remote sensing system that uses sodar (sound
detection and ranging) technology to measure wind up to 200 meters, above the
140-meter blade tip height of current utility-scale wind turbines. Designed
for wind energy applications including wind resource assessment, micro-siting
of wind turbines, and ongoing monitoring of wind conditions on working wind
farms, Triton has been in commercial use since April 2008 and is the wind
power industry's market-leading remote sensing system.
The Triton unit will be on display at the China Wind Power conference at
booth number EC16, where Walter Sass, Second Wind CTO and co-founder will
present a paper on Triton. An invitation-only workshop is planned for the
previous day and will focus on how to use Triton data in wind assessments.
Following the conference, the Triton will be installed at a HydroChina wind
power site near Zhangbei, approximately 300km northwest of Beijing, to
commence a three-month independently verified performance validation study.
