Wind energy is the fastest-growing energy source globally, and the demand for highly accurate and reliable wind measurement technology has increased accordingly. Lidar Wind Measurement is a very advanced technology that can accurately measure various data such as wind speed, wind direction, turbulence intensity, etc. It can also generate three-dimensional wind field diagrams to intuitively display wind field structure and flow characteristics. WindMast WP350, Wind3D6000, and Wind3D 10K series lidars are used for wind measurement in a variety of fields and applications including power generation, aviation, and weather forecasting. In addition, its high flexibility allows it to be deployed not only on land but also at sea for wind resource assessment.

Accurate measurement over a wide range

Lidar Wind Measurement is a high-precision equipment that uses the Doppler effect and laser interference technology to measure wind within a range of 45 meters to 6,000 meters and 60 meters to 10 kilometers. Light detection and ranging lidars provide highly accurate and reliable data. Its wind direction accuracy is ±0.1m/s, the wind direction accuracy is less than 3°, and the efficiency is very high.

 

Remote transmission and monitoring
The device is equipped with remote transmission and monitoring capabilities, enabling users to remotely access and monitor radar units and critical data via TeamViewer software. You can then complete device operation and system management as if you were in the field.

 

Modular design

Lidar Wind Measurement's components are modular and can be easily built and initially tested before being transported to another site as needed. This design allows for both fixed and mobile measurements and this equipment can be used conveniently when you need to move it regularly.

 

Strong environmental adaptability

Our wind measurement equipment is made of anti-corrosion treated aluminum alloy and other materials, with a protection level of IP66, which can resist dust, debris, water vapor, snow, and ice. The system can work normally under temperature conditions of -40°C~60°C.

 

 

 

 

Is this 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.
