In this work, we present the development of an automated system for the calibration of anemometers using the wind tunnel of the National Meteorological Service. The system includes wind data acquisition from the sensors, communication, and wind speed control of the tunnel through a closed-loop PID controller, replacing the manual measurement system. This is complemented by the development of a user interface that facilitates configuration, real-time visualization, and uncertainty calculations. In this way, the wind sensor calibration process is optimized to meet the demands of the automatic stations network and the anemometer systems installed across the country.Downloads
