(wind) measuring masts / measurement masts
Explanation:
This should read 'mâts' - not 'mats'. Given that this text refers to a wind farm, the context makes it clear that this refers to masts used to measure wind speed, often installed as part of a survey into where a wind farm could potentially be sited. More permanent masts are also called 'wind monitoring masts'.
