# Station Setup Guide

A BrightHub station is needed to store wind or solar resource data for each individual measurement campaign and logger.

Creating a BrightHub station allows all of the measurement data, metadata and documentation to be stored in one centralised location.

### Learn how to [create a BrightHub station here](/brighthub-user-docs/station-setup-guide/create-a-brighthub-station.md).

***

BrightHub has been purpose-built for populating the [IEA Wind Task 43 Wind Resource Assessment Data Model](/brighthub-user-docs/station-setup-guide/iea-task-43-wra-data-model.md) so that the data model can be downloaded from any BrightHub station in json format. Coupled with the open source [brightwind Python library](/brighthub-user-docs/brighthub-python-user-guide/brightwind-library-installation.md), this maximises potential for meaningful and automated insights from your measured data.
