Meteodyn and ZephIR Lidar have collaborated to produce a packaged “white box” solution for more effective wind measurements in complex terrain. In strongly non-uniform flow, for example in complex terrain, measurements are often not the same across the scanned area and wind speeds measured by remote sensors will not necessarily be comparable to that experienced by traditional anemometry at the scan centre.

For his doctorate awarded on Tuesday, 4 April, TU Delft researcher Antonio Jarquin Laguna investigated the possibility of a ‘hydraulic’ offshore wind farm. It involves the direct drive mechanism of the wind turbine being replaced by a positive displacement pump, which is used to bring pressurised seawater into a hydraulic network.

The N131/3900 is an enhanced version of the N131/3600 from the Generation Delta range. With the N131/3900, Nordex is raising the nominal output of its light-wind turbine by 8 per cent. Acoustic emissions could be kept at 106.2 decibels by using serrations at the rear edges of the blade.

WindSim has introduced Wind Atlas and Power Line Optimisation technologies resulting in up to 60% enhancement in wind plant transmission tie-line capacities. Power Line provides a CFD based three-dimensional flow model for the transmission line area transferring the measurements from the local weather stations along the transmission line onto the whole length of the transmission line, providing an end-to-end high fidelity monitoring solution.
