Ho Chi Minh City, 2025 — As Vietnam’s wind energy sector continues to grow, the demand for accurate, reliable, and internationally standardized wind measurement data has become more critical than ever. According to technical information provided by Thinh Phong, MEASNET is currently recognized as one of the most trusted global standards for wind measurement calibration, wind resource assessment, and wind turbine certification.
What is MEASNET?
MEASNET (Measuring Network of Wind Energy Institutes) is an international network of leading research institutes and laboratories specializing in wind energy measurement. The network was established to unify measurement, calibration, and assessment procedures, ensuring that wind data is accurate, consistent, and comparable across countries, projects, and investors.
1. Wind Measurement Calibration
MEASNET requires all anemometers and wind sensors to be calibrated in internationally accredited laboratories. This minimizes measurement errors and ensures that the collected data meets the highest accuracy standards. Instruments calibrated under MEASNET are widely accepted for large-scale wind farm development and financial assessment.
2. Wind Resource Assessment
MEASNET provides unified guidelines for:
-
Collecting and validating wind measurement data
-
Statistical analysis
-
Wind flow modeling
-
Estimating annual energy production (AEP)
According to Thinh Phong, MEASNET-based assessments are commonly used by investors, developers, and financial institutions as key documents in evaluating project feasibility and bankability.
3. Wind Turbine Verification and Certification
MEASNET also plays an essential role in verifying wind turbine performance, mechanical loads, reliability, and noise emission levels. Certificates based on MEASNET procedures are recognized globally, helping manufacturers enhance credibility and ensuring project quality.
Why MEASNET Matters for Vietnam’s Wind Industry
Applying MEASNET standards provides several significant benefits:
-
High reliability of wind measurement data
-
Reduced investment risks and lower AEP estimation errors
-
Stronger confidence from financial institutions and investors
-
Standardized comparison between multiple measurement masts or locations
As Vietnam continues to attract international capital for renewable energy projects, MEASNET-compliant data is becoming a key factor in improving project transparency, competitiveness, and long-term success.
Conclusion
MEASNET is regarded as a global reference for wind measurement and wind resource assessment. Technical insights provided by Thinh Phong affirm that adopting MEASNET standards not only improves data quality but also strengthens the foundation for successful wind power projects in Vietnam.
