The US Sandia National Laboratories' wind energy department has developed ATLAS II. Accurate Time Linked data Acquisition System to monitor the performance of wind power turbines, allowing engineers to perform simple performance checks on them. The unit is capable of sampling a large number of signals at once to characterise the inflow, operational state and structural response of any wind turbine.

The system provides us with sufficient data to help us understand how our turbine blade designs perform in realworld conditions, allowing us to improve on the original design," says project leader Jose Zayas.
