Increase in wind-power projects fueling anemometer demands

By Michelle Froese | March 8, 2019

An essential demand for advanced instruments for quality monitoring, velocity, and air pressure is fueling the applications of anemometers around the globe. Tracking air pressure and weather conditions are some of the significant applications of anemometers that are driving the anemometer market, globally. This is according to a new report fromĀ Future Market Insights, a market intelligence and consulting firm.

These are some significant applications that are driving the anemometer market, according to a new report from Future Market Insights, including an increase wind wind energy projects.

Anemometer is an instrument used to determine the speed of the airflow in the atmosphere and in wind flow tunnels. It can check the total velocity magnitude of fluids on a horizontal plane or in a specific direction. The effect of fluid on mechanical equipment is also determined by an anemometer. Anemometer is fundamentally a weather station instrument. Along with that, various changes and differences in a fluid are identified by using an anemometer.

In fact, anemometers are still one of the most important equipment used for wind-turbine siting applications. Multi-functional anemometers that aid in air-quality monitoring are particularly witnessing significant demand. For instance, AMI 310, a multi-functional anemometer (by Kimo Instruments of the Sauermann Group) helps in the measurement of various parameters that play a decisive role in the quality of air such as airflow, air velocity, humidity, and air quality (CO/CO2).

In line with the spectacularly rising levels of air pollution, there has been a dramatic increase in the demand for such advanced air-quality monitoring equipment, which is creating potential growth opportunities for manufacturers of air quality monitoring equipment such as anemometers.

According to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), when a wind turbine generates electricity, it produces zero carbon emission. A recent (2017) data revealed that the electricity generated by wind turbines prevented approximately 189 million tons of carbon emission. Furthermore, the increase in number of wind energy generation projects to address challenges posed by thriving air pollution levels is ultimately elevating demand for multifunctional anemometers, and thereby the entire air quality monitoring equipment segment.

The manufacturers operating in the anemometer market are focused on launching products for specific applications such as measurement of velocity and magnitude of air. Also, they are investing on the development of easy-to-use equipment that requires operators with limited technical training. Anemometer Market: Regional Overview In North America, the U.S. and Canada are projected to capture a high share in the anemometer market in terms of revenue.

These are some significant applications that are driving the anemometer market. To learn more, download the report here.
