SgurrEnergy is delighted to announce enhanced capabilities in wind resource assessment and the investigation of operational turbine performance. Lidar is mature laser sensing technology now successfully being applied to wind power applications. This technology augments our already proven wind resource and quality monitoring and modelling skills. This compact device can be quickly and easily deployed where masts are unsuitable. Lidar complements our existing market leading tools and advanced analysis methods to provide our clients with detailed accurate performance figures.
Lidar technology enables us to drive up the P90 energy yield and consequently reduce the cost of risk mitigation a wind farm development might entail, or indeed demonstrate the viability of developments previously considered marginal. Lidar has the added benefit of enabling detailed investigation of turbine power performance when diagnosing issues or when implementing a reliability centred maintenance programme. Comparison studies indicate measurements are at least as accurate as cup anemometry. SgurrEnergy is now taking bookings for Lidar, contact Peter Clive for further information on 0141 227 1700 or peter.clive@sgurrenergy.com
