We’re thrilled to announce the successful installation and setup of a cutting-edge UbiBot IoT system on the rooftop of our building, strategically positioned near the helicopter landing pad. This exciting development marks a significant step towards exploring the potential of clean energy generation using a vertical wind turbine, harnessing the power of the wind near the Singapore coastline.
This comprehensive system, provided by our trusted partner GMM Technoworld in Singapore, is designed to capture crucial environmental data, providing the foundation for a robust feasibility study. The UbiBot IoT system is equipped with an array of high-precision sensors, meticulously chosen to monitor key meteorological parameters:
- Wind Speed: Accurate wind speed measurement is essential for determining the energy potential of a location. The UbiBot system provides real-time wind speed data, allowing us to understand wind patterns and their intensity.
- Wind Direction: Understanding the prevailing wind direction is crucial for optimizing the placement and design of a vertical wind turbine. This data will help us ensure the turbine is positioned to capture maximum energy from the wind.
- Temperature: Ambient temperature plays a role in air density, which in turn affects wind turbine performance. Monitoring temperature provides valuable context for interpreting wind data.
- Humidity: Humidity levels can impact the efficiency and longevity of wind turbine components. Tracking humidity helps us assess potential environmental challenges and plan for maintenance.
- Light: While not directly related to wind energy generation, light data can be useful for understanding overall weather patterns and solar irradiance, potentially opening up future opportunities for integrating solar energy solutions.
Why the UbiBot IoT System?
The UbiBot IoT system was selected for this project due to its exceptional capabilities and suitability for our specific needs. Its robust design and advanced features make it an ideal solution for remote environmental monitoring:
