| Anemometers on Cell Tower on Buffalo Mountain in Johnson City, TN |
The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, in partnership with the city of Johnson City, is monitoring the wind resource atop Buffalo Mountain, a nearly 3,300' mountain that overlooks the city of Johnson City. The monitoring equipment to test the wind resource was placed atop a city owned cell phone tower by Knoxville, TN based Integration Technologies, LLC, a certified tower climbing company who specializes in electric and communications integration. Testing equipment was placed at different heights on the cell phone tower, and the equipment faced the western side of the mountain to mitigate significant shadowing of the wind resource assessment.
Installed on June 9, 2009, the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy will monitor the wind resources for the city atop the ridge for a minimum of 12 months, maximum of 18 months per the agreement with the city of Johnson City.
