I. Port Wind Speed and Direction Monitoring Case
(I) Project Background
Hong Kong, China’s large ports need to carry out frequent ship docking and cargo loading and unloading operations on a daily basis. Strong wind weather will have a serious impact on the safety and efficiency of operations. In order to ensure the safety of port operations and improve operational efficiency, the port management department decided to introduce aluminum alloy wind speed and direction sensors to monitor the changes in wind speed and direction in the port area in real time.
(II) Solution
Install aluminum alloy wind speed and direction sensors at multiple key locations in the port, such as the front of the dock and the high point of the yard. Connect the sensor to the central control system of the port through a data cable and connect to the supporting data acquisition software. The software can display the wind speed and direction data collected by each sensor in real time and alarm according to the preset threshold.
(III) Implementation Effect
After installation and use, when the wind speed exceeds the safety threshold, the system immediately issues an alarm, and port staff can stop dangerous operations in time and adjust the ship docking strategy, avoiding accidents such as ship collisions and cargo falling caused by strong winds, and ensuring the safety of personnel and property. At the same time, through the analysis of wind speed and direction data, the port optimized the operation schedule and improved the overall operational efficiency, reducing the loss of operation delays caused by bad weather by about 30% each year.
II. Case of high-precision monitoring at a meteorological station
(I) Project background
A regional meteorological station in an Indian city needs to accurately monitor the local meteorological environment to provide reliable data support for weather forecasts, disaster warnings, etc. The original monitoring equipment was insufficient in accuracy and stability and could not meet the growing monitoring needs, so it was decided to replace it with an aluminum alloy wind speed and direction sensor.
(II) Solution
In accordance with the meteorological monitoring standards and specifications, an aluminum alloy wind speed and direction sensor was installed on a 10-meter-high standard meteorological observation bracket in the open area of the meteorological station. The sensor was accurately connected to the data acquisition system of the meteorological station, and the data acquisition frequency was set to once per minute. The collected data was automatically uploaded to the meteorological database.
(III) Implementation effect
The newly installed aluminum alloy wind speed and direction sensor provides accurate and real-time wind speed and direction data for the meteorological station with its high precision and high stability. In the subsequent weather forecast and disaster warning work, the warning information issued based on these precise data is more timely and accurate, which effectively improves the local meteorological service level and disaster response capabilities. In a typhoon warning, the evacuation efficiency of personnel was greatly improved due to the timely warning, reducing potential disaster losses.
III. Wind speed and direction monitoring case of wind farms
(I) Project background
In order to improve the power generation efficiency and safety of wind turbines, a wind farm in Australia needs to obtain wind speed and direction information in the wind farm in real time and accurately, so as to optimize the control and fault warning of the generators. The original monitoring equipment is difficult to adapt to the complex and changeable environment of the wind farm, so the aluminum alloy wind speed and direction sensor is introduced.
(II) Solution
Aluminum alloy wind speed and direction sensors are installed at various key points of the wind farm, such as the top of the cabin of each wind turbine and the commanding heights of the wind farm. The data collected by the sensor is transmitted to the central monitoring system of the wind farm through a wireless network. The system automatically adjusts the blade angle and power generation of the wind turbine according to the wind speed and direction data.
(III) Implementation Effects
After the aluminum alloy wind speed and direction sensor was put into use, the wind turbine generator set was able to capture wind direction changes more accurately and adjust the blade angle in time, increasing the power generation efficiency by about 15%. At the same time, through real-time monitoring of wind speed data, the system can predict abnormal wind speed in advance and protect the generator set, reducing equipment damage and failure caused by strong winds, extending the service life of the equipment and reducing maintenance costs.
The above cases show the application results of aluminum alloy wind speed and direction sensors in different scenarios. If you want to know more about cases in specific fields or have other needs, please feel free to communicate.
