Description

Second Wind was founded in 1980 by Walter Sass and Kenneth Cohn. Sass and Cohn — engineers who have been friends since grade school — decided the emerging field of wind energy would provide an opportunity for them to leverage their engineering skills to benefit the environment. They recognized that for wind energy to succeed, the industry needed more than wind turbines. Wind developers also needed software and hardware that would help them to measure wind accurately at prospective sites, and monitor successful turbine performance at established wind farms.

1997 The company won its first contract to provide Florida Power & Light with Phaser power transducers, used in distribution automation. This marked the company's successful diversification from wind power generation monitoring into substation automation. Phasers now equip substations throughout FPL's entire service territory.

Throughout our history, both Second Wind and Vaisala have developed technology to address these challenges. Remote data access and monitoring solutions, low power requirements, and innovative power options reduce the need for frequent visits, while ground-based remote sensing technology and robustly designed and manufactured sensors stand up to extreme conditions.

Second Wind prides itself on technology innovation with its in-house hardware development and software engineering talent. The company continues to develop and support ground-breaking products related to wind data. Our wind resource assessment data loggers and systems are used in over 50 countries worldwide, including Antarctica and the Sahara. Second Wind's Triton Wind Profiler, which uses advanced sodar technology to provide more wind assessment data than can be acquired by conventional means, is the market-leading remote sensing system.
