Professional wind measurements require diligence and thorough methodology since they are crucial to a proper analysis of energy potential in a given region. A wind farm or even a single wind power station should be established only after prior wind measurements.

Here are the most important rules of wind measuring:

• proper selection of instruments and measuring systems (high quality and calibrated anemometer in particular), 
• proper placement of measuring devices on a mast (so that they do not interfere with one another), 
• wind measurement should last at least 12 months (shorter periods are not representative). 

Precise measurements slightly increase capital expenditures on building a wind power station. However, they make an investment safer and allow to avoid extra costs e.g. those associated with energy production overestimation. For instance, an error of 5 % made in wind measurements of central Poland location results in approximately 25 % mistaken values for estimations of wind energy production.

Moreover, professional and documented wind measurement certificates greatly improve a possibility of acquiring a bank loan and European or non-European grants for this kind of investment.
