The World’s No. 1 Choice for Wind Turbine Control

25 Years of Proven Reliability

FT wind sensors are the unseen force behind some of the most advanced wind turbine control systems. Our wind sensors enable OEMs to deliver smarter, more efficient turbines, increasing energy output while minimising mechanical strain. Today, as turbines grow in size and complexity, the need for precise wind data has never been more critical.

All-Weather Reliable Wind Sensing

No moving parts

Unique Acu-Res® technology delivers exceptional performance with zero maintenance and no periodic calibration required.

High Data Availability

FT's Environmental Protection System, including all-body heating means more wind data, more of the time, now featuring Advanced Sensor Diagnostics for enhanced fault detection and monitoring.

Extreme Durability

Engineered to survive the harshest environments, from heavy icing to corrosive sea air, FT sensors deliver dependable performance in all weather.

Yaw Control for Maximum Power Generation

With precise wind direction data, FT wind sensors enable turbines to align optimally with the wind, maximising power output and improving overall efficiency.

Wind Speed Monitoring for Optimal Performance

FT sensors continuously measure wind speed, allowing control systems to adjust operations, from brake release to blade pitch adjustments, to maximise power generation.

Safety in Extreme Conditions

Acting as vital safety components, FT wind sensors detect high wind speeds and signal shutdowns to prevent damage.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

The FT205, mounted on our drone, worked perfectly in real fire situations. The data it produced proved critically important to the emergency services as they were able to predict the spread of the blaze during the night.

After hearing about the reliable performance of the FT sensor and then holding it in my hand and feeling the difference in weight and size, I was convinced. The weather can throw anything at us now. Changing to the FT sensor has made it possible to keep these turbines running, even in our coldest winter conditions.

Guy Le Blanc

Minnesota Wind Farm

The FT wind sensor was the only one to survive – the other two ultrasonic wind sensors were so badly damaged they stopped working altogether. The FT sensor, however, remained ice-free and continued giving measurements, and that was one of the worst icing events we have ever seen at the observatory.

Cesar Lopez

Sieltec Canarias

We are actually amazed that sometimes we see FT sensors that have been on turbines for over 10 years and they are in such good condition that you can’t even tell that they’ve been sitting on the top of a turbine for that long. And where we have customers with turbines in cold climates, we also feel the FT sensors are best. With their better heating system, they give much better availability for the turbine operator. The FT742-DM50 is a great new model. It is easy to align with the laser tool and, once fitted, you can be sure that it will always be aligned, even if you have to change it.
