Summary Currently, an ESTEP project “Wind Effects of Sun Tracking PV Cell Solar Panels” is ongoing at NPS. Additional instrumentation needs have been identified for this project and ONR/ESTEP has agreed to support to fulfill this need. In particular, pressure measurement instrumentation is needed, although others that arise later may also be considered. Initially, a Scanicalve pressure scanning system that can read pressure values simultaneously (with insignificant delays) from a large number of locations on the models would be purchased along with other necessary system components.
