Lidar wind resource assessment

Wind data acquisition

Remote sensing devices can provide a useful alternative or complementary option to mast mounted anemometry when acquiring wind data at both proposed wind farm developments and operational sites. A compact, portable, robust remote sensing device can be installed on a temporary and economic basis, with no requirement for planning permission. This corresponds well with the requirement for a short term wind data set.

SgurrEnergy offers full wind lidar resource assessment with the following key advantages:

• Volumetric wind profiling and wind mapping
• Measure wind shear profile across the whole rotor diameter
• No planning permission required
• Verify wind flow models at multiple locations
• Suitable for otherwise inaccessible locations
• Accurate measurements in complex terrain and forestry
• Highly portable
• Drive up the P90 energy yield

 

SgurrEnergy's Galion Lidar system which is available for rental and sale is perfect for short and long term rental for wind resource assessments. The Galion Lidar can be deployed quickly and can provide an economic wind data acquisition solution in compared to a met mast. The device can survey multiple potential turbine positions from a single deployment and can measure up to 4km distance from its deployment location. Galion Lidar can also be deployed for noise impact assessment.
