The capstone project, titled "Development of a Wind Data Acquisition System". Aimed to create a comprehensive system for acquiring and assessing wind-related parameters. The specific objectives included integrating the system to measure Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Temperature, Air Pressure and Air Density. The Researchers evaluated the system's performance by comparing its data accuracy with information from PAGASA Legazpi, utilizing final absolute error calculation. Results, depicted in tables, indicated final absolute errors for wind speed (0), wind direction (0), temperature (1.1), air pressure (0.4), Notably, rounding adjustments made by PAGASA Legazpi influenced the wind speed and wind direction errors to be zero. Air density was assessed dependently, relying on measured temperature and air pressure data. The acquired data undergone validation through initial testing in San Agustin, Iriga, City, affirming the system's precision with data logging every hour. Furthermore, accuracy testing at PAGASA Legazpi revealed final absolute errors of 0, 0, 1.1, and 0.4 for wind speed, wind direction, temperature, and air pressure, respectively. The verbal interpretation of these results concluded that the developed wind data acquisition system is highly accurate in measuring the wind speed, wind direction, and air pressure while moderately accurate in measuring temperature. Overall, this capstone project successfully achieved its objectives, resulting in a Wind Data Acquisition System validated for precision and accuracy in measuring various wind parameters.
