Wind power generation is more mature and has good prospects for commercial development in the field of new energy technology. The wind parameters such as wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure are required stably in the process of preliminary construction and operation of wind farms. This paper describes a set of wind measure system which achieves real-time data acquisition, storage and transmission reliably. The whole measure system consists of the core module, GPRS remote module, interface module and other components, in which the GPRS remote transmission module is accomplished through email attachments based on SMTP protocol. In the prototype test, the system operates accurately and reliably according to the analysis on the returned data. In addition, this paper processes the raw data for characteristic parameters with statistical methods, on the basis of which it simply sums up the characteristics of wind resource.
