Nacelle Mounted Lidar suppliers Production Introduction 聽 The wind turbine Lidar becomes a standard equipment for an intelligent wind turbine, which can safeguard the turbine鈥檚 performance and efficiency. Inflow wind field measurements from wind turbine lidar offer great potential for different applications including turbine control, load validation and power performance measurements. Compared to the traditional mast-mounted cup anemometers, the data can be collected much faster by a wind turbine lidar system and applied for forecast. Getting an approval for installation of a wind turbine lidar is easier. 聽 The wind turbine Lidar is able to provide preview information of wind speed, wind direction and wind shears at various distances in front of the wind turbines. This technology paves the way for new control concepts such as feed-forward control and model predictive control to increase the energy production and to reduce loads of wind turbines. The wind speed measurement acquired by a nacelle based Lidar system can be used to improve collective and cyclic pitch controls as well as speed and yaw control of wind turbines. 聽 FAQ 聽 How does the Lidar Technology Benefits Offshore Wind ? The offshore wind energy is developing in a significant speed and growing in a great size. The offshore wind farms cover more areas, located at greater distance from the shore. The offshore wind turbines is becoming larger and taller, in order to increase power generation. Lidar technology contributes to accurately assessing wind characteristics for taller turbines and larger areas as well as acquiring precise wind data at long ranges from the shoreline. Especially when the wind turbine lidar is installed on the hub of turbines, it鈥檚 used for power performance improvement as integral part of the intelligent turbine. Considering the traditional met mast for wind measurement, it鈥檚 impossible and expensive to deploy and maintain offshore. This highlights the lidar solutions鈥?features of cost-effectiveness, easy deployment and maintenance. 聽Nacelle Mounted Lidar suppliers website:http://www.leicelidars.com/wind-lidars/nacelle-mounted-lidar/
