HelioScale Omega

HelioScale ω is a must-have for commissioning of CSP power plants. With its high quality sensors it is a research grade solar radiation measurement station that can be used throughout all stages of CSP and PV project development. HelioScale ω offers you:

• Highly precise measurement of DNI with a first class pyrheliometer including a two-axis tracker

• Sensor equipped with a heated window to reduce the need for cleaning due to dew

• Broadband pyranometer fulfilling highest standard ISO and WMO specifications to measure GHI and DIF (optional)

• Off-grid power supply consisting of a photovoltaic system including 12 V backup batteries to ensure operation in low irradiance conditions

• Daily data retrieval via mobile phone networks, satellite or radio connections

• A calibrated data logging system

• Measurement data storage in 1 minute resolution for 1 year

  The meteorological stations are engineered, assembled and tested by Wilmers Messtechnik. The stations are usually sold to the client, who would then be in charge of recalibration, operation and maintenance. Suntrace offers these monitoring services and quality control plus data analysis in an additional package.
