Twin ZX 300 Lidars deployed to support Fred. Olsen Renewables development plans

Fred. Olsen Renewables has contracted wind resource campaign management specialist ZX Measurement Services (ZX MS) to support their expanding onshore wind development activities in Scotland. ZX MS has now completed a 12-month comprehensive wind measurement campaign, using two ZX 300 wind Lidars at the proposed Scawd Law Wind Farm. Helen Thrasher, Head of Technical at Fred. Olsen Renewables commented: “At Fred. Olsen Renewables we believe in a 'wind first' approach to development – ensuring our wind farms are designed to make the most of the onsite wind resource. To achieve this, it is imperative that we have high quality data measurements from the site. Deploying Lidar technology at Scawd Law allowed us to collect this vital data from several locations across the complex site, surveying up to our estimated tip height of 180 m, with the expert support of ZX MS throughout the campaign.”
