Vindicator Laser Wind Sensor from Catch the Wind Increases Wind Turbine's Energy Output

Catch the Wind Ltd. (TSX-V: CTW.S) today released the final results of its trial program with Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD). The results demonstrated that Catch the Wind's Vindicator(R) Laser Wind Sensor (LWS) increased the energy output of a turbine by an average of 12.3 percent as a result of better alignment with oncoming wind and increased gust detection. The increased energy output was achieved while the Vindicator(R) LWS controlled the turbine for only 56 percent of the time as specified by the parameters of the 30-day trial. Excluding statistically insufficient measurement data, the Vindicator(R) LWS improved energy output by more than 18 percent.
