The document discusses the development of customized data loggers for wind turbines in remote Arctic locations. It notes the unique environmental challenges, including rapid temperature fluctuations, high humidity, melting snow and ice damage. It outlines the development of open source loggers over three revisions to optimize for power consumption, reliability, ease of use and harsh environments. Future plans include further field testing and creating a fourth revision with wireless sensors, remote updates and extended battery life.
