Mathematical Analysis of the Effect of Rotor Geometry on Cup Anemometer Response

Figure 10

Results from two calibrations performed at the S4 anemometer calibration wind tunnel of the IDR/UPM Institute, on the same cup anemometer (Thies Clima 4.3350) following two different procedures, AC and AD. AC calibrations follow strictly MEASNET procedure (wind speeds ranging from 4 m s−1 to 16 m s−1, and 13 measurement points are taken), whereas AD calibrations are carried out over a broader wind speed range (from 4 m s−1 to 23 m s−1) and less measurement points are taken (9 instead of 13).
