A new-bladed wind turbine could power more 
Aragon Engineering has developed ADES a bladed pendulum that "compensation, builds and restores" the variations caused by blasts Wind, eliminating tensions and delivers electricity to the grid more evenly. In the words of its creator, a machine "accomplice of the wind."
The turbine rotor and variable speed pitch, has three passive mechanical systems-bladed rotor oscillating pendulum power train and gondola autotimonante-which attenuate the peaks of power and structural overloads . But the big star of this unique wind turbine is, without doubt, the powertrain pendulum.
"It works as a real shock absorber, storing and restitution. So get turbines deliver power more evenly and be able to connect to networks weak, "said Manuel Lahuerta, chief designer of ADES. According
Lahuerta, by providing a high quality energy, with less structural loads, these turbines can also be connected in parallel with other energy sources and used in the repowering of wind farms, taking advantage of existing infrastructure. And, of course, to new parks. ADES
currently manufacture its turbines with capacities of 100 and 250 kW, but also its intention to develop machines of 1000 and 1,500 MW in 2010.

Way
consists of three cups centrally connected to a vertical shaft which allows rotation. Cup is always facing the wind to. They have an aerodynamic design for the force of wind pressure rotary torque becomes orio so the rotation is almost linear in wind speed over a specified range. The signal is translated into an electrical outlet and is proportional to the rotational movement. The Data Logger calculates the true wind speed.
propeller anemometers: consists of a propeller mounted on a horizontal axis. It ori enta
in the wind by a vane. The cup is the most usual.
Three aspects are important when choosing:
desired Application: Range of winds and final application data.
start threshold: minimum wind speed at the anemometer starts and continues to be measured. For example it is more important to survive at 25 m / s to be less than 1 m / s.
Distance constant: This is the anemometer response time to changes in wind speed. The constant wind longest (distance of the air passage behind the anemometer so that it reaches 63% of the speed of equilibrium after a step change in wind speed) are associated with heavier anemometers. These anemometers heavier (larger distance constant) may overestimate wind speed.
- Reliability and Maintenance: These are mechanical and have often er long life (more than two years).

Wind direction:
It uses a wind vane to measure direction . It consists of a flap associated a vertical axis. The vane is constantly looking for the balance of power position indicating wind direction. Most of these sensors use a transducer (potentiometer) whose electrical output signal is associated with the position sensor. The data logger connects the position of the vane to a known reference position (usually true north). Therefore the orientation by placing the vane and geared toward the reference position is important.
Air temp have a transducer, an interface device and a radiation shield. Transducer is used as thermistors, resistance thermal detectors (RTDs) and semi-conductors. The data-logger uses an equation to evaluate the change in magnitude of the device used for measuring the actual air temperature.
barometric pressure sensors
: They have a transducer (usually piezometric) and require an external power source generally.
Data Logger
: These data loggers and have evolved with advances in computing. Can be classified according to the way of transmitting data (in field or remote data transfer). It is compatible with electronic sensors.
is important the number of sensors that can be inserted, measurement parameters, types of sample and measurement interval.
The data must be dated, have good storage capacity, nonvolatile storage, do not contribute to the error sensor, operating in extreme environmental sensors and have autonomy (own power source).
Ring
memory: In this mode data are archived continuously. However, if the memory capacity is covered overwrites the oldest. The data cover should wait until the memory capacity.
Full and stop
: In this mode data is accumulated to cover the available memory. Additional data once covered the memory is not archived. So the data accumulation is suspended to be covered the available memory.
Data Transfer
: The transfer can be manual or remote. manual download requires periodic visits to the site of measurement. The advantage is that it promotes regular visit to the place and with it the possibility of visual inspection. The disadvantage is that it is possible to lose data (by removing the card) and frequent visits to the site.
remote transfer requires a means of telecommunication (direct cable, modems, telephone lines, cellular telephone equipment and / or RF telemetry equipment). The advantage is the possibility view and analyze data continuously frequently. Disadvantages include cost and time required for the purchase of equipment and installation.
Torres: There are two types of towers, tubular frame. These can be tilt-up, telescopic or fixed. Today is measured at two heights the wind (60-70 m and 20-30 m) and about 12 mts. temperature, pressure and humidity. Must have resistance to wind, ice, lightning protection, beacons, secured against vandalism and climbing the tower without authorization, protected from corrosion and the rustling of cattle or other animals.
