Madrid, 2025.05.29.- MEASNET (International Network of Wind Energy Measurement Institutes) has just released the 20ac01 Anemometer Calibration Proficiency Test (PT) final report. It presents the outcome of the intercomparison conducted in this competence area by 14 international technical laboratories from Australia, Brazil, China, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Spain and the USA, among other countries.
These test labs have proven their competence through a rigorous, independent evaluation which more than 85% of the participants have passed. MEASNET members have achieved particularly outstanding results, demonstrating a lower level of spread.
This is the fifth public report issued by MEASNET on proficiency testing performed under the rules of IECRE (IEC System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for Use in Renewable Energy Applications), and the last in the series for the most recent batch of PTs. They compile relevant details about the work of technical laboratories in the wind energy sector involved in these intercomparisons. Releasing these documents to the public aligns with MEASNET’s policy of transparency.
“The report on the Anemometer Calibration PT provides a true and up-to-date picture of the high level of accuracy of anemometer calibration measurements by participating laboratories,” says Alejandro Martínez, MEASNET Vice Chairman and Technical Advisor for PTs, as well as IECRE Lead Assessor.
“Additionally, it’s important to note that participating MEASNET members achieved better results by demonstrating lower spread,” he added. “This harmonization of results is the fruit of the work performed by the MEASNET Expert Group in this area of competence over the years.”
The report on 20ac01 Anemometer Calibration Proficiency Test has been coordinated by Søren Frølund Østbirk, the test’s conductor and ingenieer in Svend Ole Hansen ApS.
It is now available for its free download from the MEASNET website, along with the ones focused on Power Performance, Acoustic Noise, Loads and Electrical Characteristics: www.measnet.com/finished-pts
MEASNET is the official IECRE provider for Proficiency Tests in the wind industry worldwide, assessing qualification according to harmonised and aligned criteria. More than 90 laboratories have been involved in these technical evaluations since their inception, in 2020. Proficiency testing proves competence through inter-laboratory testing, and fosters mutual trust which enables international acceptance.
