Wind measurement in Thundorf in the canton of Thurgau, Switzerland
Project overview
A 99-metre-tall met mast was installed at the Thundorf site in the canton of Thurgau, in Eastern Switzerland. After a measurement period of 17 months, the campaign came to a successful conclusion in spring 2017 and the mast was removed. During the measurement, bat levels were also recorded, with bat recording boxes attached to the mast. The measurement allowed a well-founded and reliable statement to be made regarding the wind frequency at the location. This is the basis for the profitability calculation and further project development.
