You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows
C.S. Lewis said “You find out the strength of a wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down” and the Wind Industry, is not lying down. They are pushing the known limits of engineering and developing new technologies to harness the wind. At TenacIT, we are unfurling our sails and joining the voyage.
There is an old TenacIT saying. You don’t need a weather man to know which way the wind blows, you need an IT Nerd with advanced data analytics.
Wind Energy - Energy Harnessed From Moving Air
Wind is caused by uneven heating of the earth’s surface by the sun. Because the earth’s surface is made up of different types of land and water, it absorbs the sun’s heat at different rates. One example of this uneven heating is the daily wind cycle.
During the day, air above the land heats up faster than air over water. Warm air over land expands and rises, and heavier, cooler air rushes in to take its place, creating wind. At night, the winds are reversed because air cools more rapidly over land than it does over water.
In the same way, the atmospheric winds that circle the earth are created because the land near the earth’s equator is hotter than the land near the North Pole and the South Pole.
Today, wind energy is mainly used to generate electricity. Water-pumping windmills were once used throughout the United States and some still operate on farms and ranches, mainly to supply water for livestock.
But you didn’t come here for a lesson in thermodynamics. That’s what you do for a living. You are here looking for a company that can help with a…problem. And lucky for us our payment to Google got us high enough on the search list that you actually clicked on the link. So lets not waste your time. We are guessing you are here for one of a number of reasons.
- You want a single interface for managing and monitoring your wind farm
- Your SCADA system needs to be modified, patched and/or secured
- The field instrumentation and PLC systems will need some work
- Your SCADA Hardware and Control Rooms consoles need to be upgraded
- You have back office applications that need updates or replacement
- You are hoping that we can help make some serious operational efficiencies
- You need real-time dashboard/reports so you don’t have to ask for another spreadsheet
- Your company wants to find ways to make more money from the wind
- Your IT department is going to need an extra set of competent hands
- You want that pain point addressed
- No? None of those? Hmmm…Well maybe we should just sit down and listen to what brought you to our humble little site.
