ZX TM wind Lidar supporting site optimisation at Klipheuwel Wind Wind Farm, South Africa

Deployed for a number of months in the Western Cape, the TM is providing critical insights into complex wind conditions affecting turbine performance and maintenance.

Nico Lombard, Asset Manager at Globeleq South Africa Management Services added: “The ZX TM wind Lidar has been operational on this complex site for several months to date and we are delighted to have already identified some areas for improvement. The ZX TM helps analyse wind shear, turbulence intensity, and directional changes, providing a deeper understanding of wind behaviour at the site. This information is crucial for optimising turbine performance and minimizing mechanical stress.”
