Wind LIDAR (LIght Detection and Ranging) is a technique that is used to remotely measure the wind speed and is being used throughout the wind industry from site prospecting to wind turbine control. Floating Wind LIDAR has been more recently introduced to replace expensive offshore meteorological masts, however multiple intersecting beams are required to g...

This project seeks to explore the technical feasibility of incorporating remote laser wind measurement instrumentation within the interior body of wind turbine blades, including use of blade LIDAR windows conformal to the existing blade shape. This will pave the way for wind turbine integrated intersecting beam laser wind measurement - a technique that wi...

This project seeks to take a new LIDAR system from construction of field demonstrator through to installation on wind farm and environmental test for marine ruggedisation. The programmable scanning LIDAR under development will bring a step change in LIDAR measurement capability and enable wind farm operators to really know the wind profile that is hitting...

This study will determine the feasibility of producing significant improvements in productivity and reliability, and as a consequence, reductions in LCoE and increased revenue, in OWE generation. Innovative nacelle mounted LIDAR techniques which deliver high value at low cost will be identified and developed. Technical solutions and innovation will be inf...
