• Comparable analysis of measurement results and solar energy production

Solar radiation measurement instruments

Solar radiation sensors are based on measurement of high quality sensors and applied instruments

• Pyranometers(MS802F, CMP6/11)

• Pyrheliometrics(MS-56).• Sun tracer with GPS

navigation(STR-22G)• Pyrgeometers• Compact weather station

(WS300-UMB)

Determination of the wind rose

What are we measure? Wind speed Wind directionTemperature Humidity Pressure

Lidar and Sodar - wind measurement (over 100 meters)

Phase 1of KFW projects finished by using measurement data of the meteostation

During phase 2 Lidar for measurement wind speed (over the 100 meters) was installed

Electrical supply of Lidar are done by PV panel of AZGUNTEX LLC

Measurement stations of the hydro level

Water level measurement stations were installed in different rivers

Stations are controlled distantly

Dipstick 4m / 5m / 6m

Geothermal measurement stations

UTILITY100 Utility-Grade Weather Station.Advanced geothermal measurement systems provideindependent turbine and pump performance monitoring withmeasurements that include: electrical current, voltage,wattage, power quality, stress, torque, electric field,lightning potential, vibration, strain, load, temperature, tilt,flow, and pressure.

New method of the geothermal sources measurement at Samux region.

Data base transfer to the cadaster maps (energy sources data for further investments)

Efficient RES development monitoring

Transfer the available meteo stations to new potential regions

-SCADA wind farm controll. Integration to SCADA control

Development opportunity and barriers, priority actions

Development opportunity:• improving the monitoring center to the research and development

center. regional and even international level• Measurement with the requirements of international standards• Relations with the countries of the region, exchange of experiences

and share• Equipments insurance.

Barriers, priority actions: prevents the development of low tariffs on electricity prices Due to the high cost of the technology and service.
