  • Patent number: 10871502
    Abstract: Provided are a three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonic anemometer, a 3D wind velocity measuring method, and a wind turbine. The 3D ultrasonic anemometer includes: an ultrasonic sensor including three pairs of ultrasonic transceivers arranged in different directions, wherein the ultrasonic sensor is installed at a rotation body rotating around a rotation axis and rotates around the rotation axis together with the rotation body; a signal processor outputting a 3D sensed wind velocity sensed by the ultrasonic sensor; and a coordinate converter converting the 3D sensed wind velocity into a 3D fixed wind velocity on a fixed coordinate system by using a rotation angle ? of the rotation body.

  • Publication number: 20200371133
    Abstract: The present invention relates to: a multi-speed meter capable of measuring a wind speed with a self-correction function, a wind speed measuring method with a self-correction function, and a moving apparatus having a multi-speed meter installed therein, which are installed on a ground-based moving apparatus significantly affected by a wind speed such as a bicycle or motorcycle to measure a wind speed and simultaneously correct a displayed speed. The multi-speed meter capable of measuring a wind speed with a self-correction function includes an absolute speedometer installed on a moving apparatus and measuring an absolute speed, a relative speedometer installed on the moving apparatus and measure a relative speed of the traveling object; and a control unit which receives and outputs the absolute speed and the relative speed respectively measured by the absolute speedometer and the relative speedometer, and outputs a wind speed which is the difference between the absolute speed and the relative speed.
