Dedicated LiDAR assisted Optimisation and Monitoring Solution for wind turbine OEMs
LiDAR assisted Optimisation and Monitoring for OEMs
The Windvision is Windar Photonics’ 4-beam LiDAR sensor intended specifically for wind turbine OEMs. The WindVISION is intended for direct integration with the wind turbines control system, either as a retrofit or design-in solution.
4-Beam LiDAR Technology with vertical and horizontal measurements
Due to its 4-beam design arranged in an 18° half-cone angle, the WindVISION is able to measure in both the vertical plane and the horizontal plane. This advanced configuration enables far more detailed and precise wind condition analysis compared to traditional nacelle sensors, thereby providing OEMs the ability to gather even more wind field and turbine performance data.
Optimisation and Monitoring
The WindVISION LiDAR sensor, just like the 2-beam WindEYE sensor, can measure and be utilised for correcting yaw misalignment dynamically, ensuring optimal turbine alignment for higher energy production and reduced structural loads.
Detection of Complex Wind Phenomena
By utilising measurements from the 4 LiDAR beams, the WindVISION can detect and gather detailed data on critical wind phenomena that affect turbine performance:
- Yaw misalignment
- Wakes
- Gusts
- Turbulence
- Wind Shear
- Rotor Effective Wind Speed
The WindVISION LiDAR's 4-beam technology and advanced detection features make it a powerful tool for advanced wind turbine optimization, monitoring, and performance analysis when integrated directly with the turbine's control system. By providing precise insights into both the wind field and turbine efficiency, this enables operators to achieve improved turbine performance, higher Annual Energy Production AEP, and reduced structural loads across the wind farm.
