    Abstract

    The characteristics of five cup anemometers were investigated in detail, and data are presented in figures and tables. The characteristics include: normal wind tunnel calibrations; angular response measurements at 5, 8 and 11m/s; torque coefficient curvemeasurements from combined tilt and ramp-gust tests, torque coefficient curve measurements for non-tilted conditions; rotor inertia measurements and measurements of friction of bearings at temperatures -10°C to 40°C. The characteristics are fitted to twodifferent time domain cup anemometer models, and simulations of the cup anemometers are made with artificial wind generators to make classifications according to annex I and J of the standard IEC 61400-12-1 on power performance measurements. Results ofclassification are shown in graphs of systematic deviations and class index tables.
