As a research institution that operates a Wind R&D Park, it is important that WEICan has a robust data management system. WEICan collects more than 8000 data points every second.

In 2016, WEICan formed a partnership with AVEVA™ PI System™ (then OSIsoft LLC).

The PI System provides the ability to collect, analyze, visualize, and share data from across the Institute. Data from the Wind R&D Park, meteorological towers, small wind test bed, power meters, and other sensors are brought into the PI database with sampling rates as low as 10 Hz. The PI system also allows easy integration of real time data analysis, which aids in operation of the wind park.

WEICan’s Data Quality Assurance Coordinator, Robbie Sanderson says, “Having the PI system to organize, visualize, and utilize our data in real time is vital to both our wind turbine operations and research program.”
