Lidar Wind Speed Measurement Device

The galion lidar remote sensing device provides wind farm developers powerful options for assessing the wind resource at proposed or operational wind farm sites.

Lidar wind speed measurement device.

Galion lidar is a wind speed measurement device. Lidar instruments use light to measure the wind characteristics. Lidar device unit down the road speed measuring equipment that determines target range and speed based on the time of flight of laser light pulses reflected off a target. Sodar instruments measure the wind conditions by means of sound.

A french start up company in the netherlands has developed a small instrument to measure wind speed and direction from the ground up to heights of 200 m which may prove helpful deciding where to build a wind turbine. A doppler lidar system was used in the 2008 summer olympics to measure wind fields during the yacht competition. They then used 3d printing to construct the device which has a layer of silicone and an electrode. Cornelia von zengen september 18 2018 publication site assessment.

Learn how windguard stumbled upon a surprising effect some remote sensing devices show when it comes to measuring wind speed in turbulent wind flow and how a different approach to evaluating lidar data can help to decrease uncertainty in your wind measurement campaign. Sodar and lidar devices have to be properly supplied with sufficient power. Both pulsed and continuous wave systems are being used. Our portfolio of galion products is designed for onshore and offshore wind data acquisition.

Doppler lidar systems are also now beginning to be successfully applied in the renewable energy sector to acquire wind speed turbulence wind veer and wind shear data.
