Otech Engineering, Inc. is one of the leading providers of calibration service for anemometers used in wind energy applications. Based in Davis, California, Otech has an accomplished history spanning 25 years in the global wind energy industry, from the inception of the industry to its present-day 29 percent annual worldwide growth rate.
At Otech, wind instruments are calibrated using a state of the art, open-circuit, suction-type wind tunnel test facility, delivering the highest standards of quality control, testing and reporting at a competitive cost.
Otech has continuously served as a visible catalyst for anemometer test standards development since 1987, by initiating or participating in test protocol studies, instrumentation research, and test facility comparisons along with several standards development organizations and laboratories including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the National Weather Service (NWS), Meteorological Standards Institute (MSI), and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Currently, Otech is a key participant in the Round Robin 3 experiment, managed by the National Weather Service. Otech is also working with the California Wind Energy Collaborative (CWEC), funded by the California Energy Commission (CEC) and based in University of California, Davis (UCD), to address national calibration standards and prepare the UCD Aeronautical Wind Tunnel Facility for anemometer calibration and round robin testing.
Through greatly improved precision, reduction of measurement uncertainties and partnerships with top researchers, faculty and renowned industry experts, Otech is focused on improving science-based applications of measurement processes in the wind industry and on becoming the worlds' premier wind instrument calibration test laboratory.
