ABSTRACT:
A system and method for determining functionality and accuracy of a sensor such that monitoring of a sensor is possible without the provision of redundant sensors. Briefly described, one embodiment is an anemometer operable to detect wind speed adjacent to the wind power installation, a calculating unit operable to calculate a calculated wind speed using data from an operating parameter of the wind power installation, and a comparison device operable to compare the detected wind speed with the calculated wind speed to determine the functionality of the anemometer.
