The WindMast WP350 and Wind3D6000 and Wind3D 10K series Lidars are widely used for wind measurement in various areas and applications. The Lidar Wind Measurement solution are flexible and reliable for both onshore and offshore wind projects. The vertical wind lidar acts as virtual met tower, which can easily be deployed on lands and offshore for wind resource assessments. The scanning lidars are also a good tool for power curve prediction and turbine wake vortex detection.

(1) Modular design

The systems are designed with compact enclosure and modular parts, which could be easily constructed and initially tested in an on-grid friendly environment and then transported to another site as required. When these Lidars are moved regularly, a plug and modular system is the key solution.

 

(2) Remote access

The users can access the lidar units from the office via TeamViwer software. After log in the built-in computer, you can operate and manage the systems just like when you’re at site.

 

(3) Strong Environmental Adaptability

The systems are designed to be resistant to scouring from particulates, debris, water-vapor, snow and ice. The robust design also enables users to operate in high wind speed, blizzard, whiteout and severe weather environments. The systems work normally in extreme weather conditions such as high / low temperature -40℃~60℃.

Is Lidar Wind Measurement an Alternative to Met Tower?

LIDAR technology is a promising alternative for the measurement of winds, requiring less maintenance and lower costs than meteorological towers. They are capable of remotely profiling winds by means of an infrared laser, which is backscattered by aerosols and particles carried by the air. With more and more verification campaigns have been done, the industry is getting to accept profiling LiDARs to replace meteorological tower-based wind speed measurement for wind energy applications.
