Lidar Wind Speed Measurement Device

The galion lidar remote sensing device provides wind farm developers powerful options for assessing the wind resource at proposed or operational wind farm sites.

Lidar wind speed measurement device.

Our portfolio of galion products is designed for onshore and offshore wind data acquisition. Lidar device is synonymous with laser speed measuring device and lidar unit for the purpose of this standard. Sodar and lidar devices have to be properly supplied with sufficient power.

Lidar device unit down the road speed measuring equipment that determines target range and speed based on the time of flight of laser light pulses reflected off a target. Lidar instruments use light to measure the wind characteristics. A french start up company in the netherlands has developed a small instrument to measure wind speed and direction from the ground up to heights of 200 m which may prove helpful deciding where to build a wind turbine. Lidar for wind speed.

A doppler lidar system was used in the 2008 summer olympics to measure wind fields during the yacht competition. Lidar systems can also be installed in top of a wind turbine to measure wind conditions in front and behind the turbine. Sodar instruments measure the wind conditions by means of sound. Both pulsed and continuous wave systems are being used.

Doppler lidar systems are also now beginning to be successfully applied in the renewable energy sector to acquire wind speed turbulence wind veer and wind shear data.
