APPLICATION : a Cost-effective, accurate, offshore wind resource assessments
The FLiDAR measurement buoy represents a major break-through for the offshore wind industry enabling dramatic cost reductions for offshore wind resource assessments.
FLiDAR can measure wind potential up to 200m above mean sea level with an accuracy equivalent to the performance of on-shore LiDAR measurement devices. It is made up of an offshore WINDCUBE® v2 LiDAR mounted on an industry standard buoy and powered by an autonomous renewable energy (PV + wind) system. A mechanical stabilisation unit and advanced correction algorithm ensures maximum stability and excellent measurement data accuracy.
FLiDAR can be deployed in a single day and can provide crucial data throughout project development.
