Typical Applications
Product SummaryThe FT702LT Wind Sensor is designed to provide reliable wind speed and wind direction in the format required by the wind turbine control and monitoring system. Requiring no regular maintenance, and able to operate in harsh environments such as offshore and ice-prone areas, the FT702LT provides wind turbine manufacturers and operators with a ‘fit and forget’ wind sensing solution. With no moving parts to degrade or wear out, the FT702LT helps reduce costly turbine down-time and maintenance visits. The FT702LT measures both wind speed and wind direction simultaneously thus eliminating the need for a separate wind speed sensor on the turbine and improving reliability. Accurate measurement of incident wind direction at the turbine is essential for optimum generating performance. The FT702LT provides accurate wind direction information with no time lag in all wind conditions. For operation in ice-prone areas, the FT702LT is fitted with a highly effective thermostatically controlled ‘all-body’ heating system. A three element heater (one element located in the top of the sensor and two in the bottom) is used to ensure that the heating is evenly distributed over the entire surface area.
