LiDAR assisted
Optimisation & Monitoring Solutions
Windar Photonics’ LiDAR assisted solutions offers asset owners the ability to both optimise and monitor their wind turbine generators, resulting in increased energy production, reduced loads, a wealth of wind field data, and accurate performance tracking of individual turbines and entire fleets.
Key Benefits:
2-4% increase to AEP • Reduction of critical loads above rated power
• Plug and Play integration for any model of wind turbine
2-4% increase to AEP • 20% reduction in critical loads above rated power • Plug and Play integration for any model of wind turbine
Optimisation Solution
The Windar Photonics Optimisation solution enables asset owners to increase annual energy production (AEP) by 2-4% and to decrease loads at high wind speeds by optimising the yawing of the wind turbine.
The Optimisation solution can be installed and integrated with the control system of any model of wind turbine and is delivered with the cyber-safe Nexus OS software platform.
The Windar Photonics Optimisation solution consists of:
- The WindEYE LiDAR sensor
- The WindTIMIZER integration solution
- The Nexus OS software platform
Monitoring Solution
Monitoring Solution
The key component of the Monitoring solution is the Nexus TPM module, which is a software add-on for the Windar Optimisation solution.
The Nexus TPM provides an unbiased set of extremely accurate data relating to the performance of individual wind turbines, the performance of the entire fleet, and the wind field, enabling asset owners to both assess wind turbine performance and formulate data-driven optimisation strategies for enhancing the performance of entire wind farms.
