LEITWIND

LEITWIND team develops a meteo app for snowmaking Thanks to the synergies in the Leitner Group, the LEITWIND Research & Development Office developed a meteo-app for the DEMACLENKO snowmaking systems. Among the many Advantages of belonging to a large Company Group, sustanability plays an important role across it, particularly evident from the synergies between the individual companies. A classic example is the collaboration established between the R&D Department of LEITWIND and LEITNER (cable Transport systems), which resulted in the Production of the first direct drive LEITWIND wind turbine. Here, the direct drive is used in reverse Operation as a Generator. During the last 16 years, LEITWIND has designed many Generators, with nominal power up to 3MW, installing and commissioning more than 365 wind turbines with the LEITNER DirectDrive. Now the LEITWIND Team has advised DEMACLENKO, another brand of the High Technology Industries (HTI) Company Group, which deals with the Production and Installation of turnkey snowmaking systems. While for LEITWIND the wind is the key element for being able to produce energy, for DEMACLENKO it is the temperatures and the reliable forecast of the evolution of the weather conditions to assume greater importance, since Windows opportunity for snowmaking are becoming ever Shorter. The R&D Department of LEITWIND has therefore developed in collaboration with DEMACLENKO a meteo-app, which makes it possible to deduce the trend of the wet bulb temperature over the coming ten days to plan snowmaking operations carefully. The forecast is based on current and historic recordings of temperatures and humidity in selected places in the Ski Resort, combined with General weather models (MOS-procedures). It is the most reliable on the market.
