Continuous Wave wind Lidars can be safer, faster, cheaper and sometimes even better at measuring the wind conditions than traditional anemometry. These benefits can be realised from Day 1 of a project and, when considering a ‘one Lidar per wind farm’ approach, the benefits can be seen throughout the project lifecycle.
The Use Cases presented below have been tried and tested over the last decade or so. Using Lidars in each Use Case helps to inform standards which in turn helps to drive change. Change, for a better and more competitive wind energy industry.
