IEDat at IEA
Kathleen Moore attended the International Energy Agency's Topical Expert Meeting on Remote Sensing and Wind Energy, October 15-16, 2009. The meeting was held at the National Wind Technology Center in Boulder, Colorado. Dr. Moore made a presentation on using sodar for wind energy resource assessment.
IEDat at WindPower 2009
Kathleen Moore presents a poster at AWEA's Windpower
2009 eventl. The poster is entitled, "Sodar Measurements to Reduce
Shear Extrapolation Uncertainty".
AWEA's annual conference and exhibition is the
premier wind energy event of the year, drawing more than 12,000
attendees each year. This year's event, is in Chicago . For more

IEDat at AWEA's Wind Resource Assessment Workshop, 2008
A panel on the use of remote sensing technology in wind resource
assessment included a presentation by Kathleen Moore on sodar.
IEDat at AMS Boundary Layers and Turbulence, 2008
Kathleen Moore presented a paper at the American Meteorological
Society's 18th Symposium on Boundary Layers and Turbulence in
Stockholm, Sweden. The paper was entitled, "Turbulence, Shear and
Stability Influences on Lower Boundary-Layer Profiles".
IEDAT Radar Facility in Use
As part of Integrated Environmental Data's expansion into the field of environmental assessment for utility-scale wind and other projects, IEDat has developed a radar facility to do bird and bat surveys. A Furuno 25 kW X-band radar has been installed in a trailer to constitute a mobile radar facility for radar ornithology. For the spring '07 migration season, 16 community members were trained to use the radar for a study of how migrating birds use the rural Albany county site under consideration for a community-owned wind farm. The facility is being used under the NYSERDA funded Community Wind project in rural Albany County.
IEDat at WindPower 2006
Dr. Kathleen Moore presented a paper at the American Wind Energy's WindPower 2006 conference and exhibition entitled, "Sodar Wind Profiles and Turbine Power Performance", co-authored with Dr. Bruce Bailey and Mr. Daniel Bernadett of AWS Truewind, LLC. The paper makes use of the extensive archive of sodar wind profiles measured at more than 93 sites in North America and Hawaii, to explore how turbine power output can be affected by varying shear throughout the entire turbine rotor plane (30m to 140m).AWEA's annual conference and exhibition is the premier wind energy event of the year, drawing an increasing number of exhibitors and attendees each year. This year's event, in Pittsburgh, drew more than 5,000 attendees. For more information on WindPower 2006, visit the AWEA website at www.awea.org
Community Wind Project at WindPower 2006
Integrated Environmental Data is involved in a NYSERDA funded project to do predevelopment work on a community-owned wind project in the Helderberg mountains of rural Albany County. Loren Pruskowski of Sustainable Energy Developments, Inc. is the lead contractor for this project. We presented a poster at AWEA's WindPower 2006 conference and exhibition, June 2006, in Pittsburgh, PA. The poster is titled, "A Community Wind Project in Rural Albany County, New York State," and it is authored by Loren Pruskowski, Kathleen Moore, Daniel Capuano, and Alexander Gordon.For more information on WindPower 2006, visit the AWEA website at www.awea.org.
