NACELLE BASED LIDAR
3Dot Energy offers wind measurement services using Nacelle-based LiDAR technology. This advanced system, supplied and provided for rental by Movelaser from China, offers numerous benefits for wind turbine performance optimization.
Nacelle-based LiDAR technology allows for accurate measurement of wind conditions directly from the turbine’s nacelle, providing real-time data crucial for various applications:
1. Correction of Yaw Misalignment: Nacelle-based LiDAR helps correct yaw misalignment, ensuring wind turbines are properly oriented into the wind for optimal energy generation.
2. Remote Sensing Wind Measurement: By remotely sensing wind speed and direction, LiDAR enables precise wind resource assessment and turbine performance optimization.
3. Load and Generation Performance Balancing: LiDAR data aids in balancing the load on wind turbine components, optimizing generation performance, and extending turbine lifespan.
4. Reduced Blade Load and Maintenance Costs: By accurately measuring wind conditions, LiDAR helps reduce the load on turbine blades, leading to decreased maintenance costs and extended turbine life.
5. Cost Reduction in Performance Verification Testing: Nacelle-based LiDAR eliminates the need for traditional performance verification testing using met masts and anemometers, resulting in cost savings and improved efficiency.
Available models of Nacelle-based LiDAR from Movelaser include:
