CUP ANEMOMETER

ANEMOMETER
An anemometer is a device used for measuring the speed of wind, and is
also a common weather station instrument. The term is derived from the
Greek word anemos, which means wind, and is used to describe any wind
speed measurement instrument used in meteorology.
ANEMOMETER - TYPES
• Cup Anemometer
• Vane Anemometer
• Hot-wire Anemometer
• Laser Doppler Anemometer
• Ultrasonic Anemometer
Working of cup anemometer
• The arms are attached to a vertical rod. As the wind
blows, the cups rotate, making the rod spin. The
stronger the wind blows, the faster the rod spins.
The anemometer counts the number of rotations, or
turns, which is used to calculate wind speed.
Four-cup anemometer
• It consisted of four hemispherical cups mounted on horizontal arms, which were
mounted on a vertical shaft. The air flow past the cups in any horizontal direction
turned the shaft at a rate that was proportional to the wind speed. Therefore,
counting the turns of the shaft over a set time period produced a value
proportional to the average wind speed for a wide range of speeds. On an
anemometer with four cups, it is easy to see that since the cups are arranged
symmetrically on the end of the arms, the wind always has the hollow of one cup
presented to it and is blowing on the back of the cup on the opposite end of the
cross.
• When Robinson first designed his anemometer, he asserted that the cups moved
one-third of the speed of the wind, unaffected by the cup size or arm length. This
was apparently confirmed by some early independent experiments, but it was
incorrect. Instead, the ratio of the speed of the wind and that of the cups, the
anemometer factor, depends on the dimensions of the cups and arms, and may
have a value between two and a little over three. Every previous experiment
involving an anemometer had to be repeated.
Three-cup anemometer
• The three-cup anemometer developed by the Canadian John Patterson in
1926 and subsequent cup improvements by Brevoort & Joiner of the USA
in 1935 led to a cupwheel design which was linear and had an error of less
than 3% up to 60 mph (97 km/h). Patterson found that each cup produced
maximum torque when it was at 45° to the wind flow. The three-cup
anemometer also had a more constant torque and responded more
quickly to gusts than the four-cup anemometer.
• The three-cup anemometer was further modified by the Australian Dr
Derek Weston in 1991 to measure both wind direction and wind speed.
Weston added a tag to one cup, which causes the cupwheel speed to
increase and decrease as the tag moves alternately with and against the
wind. Wind direction is calculated from these cyclical changes in cupwheel
speed, while wind speed is determined from the average cupwheel speed.
• Three-cup anemometers are currently used as the industry standard
for wind resource assessment studies & practice.
