It has been used to detect air patterns at airports and turbulence on planes, adopted by cartographers and used to develop ranging applications and has been used to detect atmospheric pollutants. It ...

A team of researchers at the Ocean University of China has developed and tested a mobile lidar (light detection and ranging) station that can accurately measure wind speed and direction over large ...

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 ...

At a seminar held at London’s ExCel during the Offshore Wind Energy 2017 conference in June, industry leaders discussed the pros and cons of LIDAR technology, and it appears to be the consensus of ...

Catch the Wind has developed a LIDAR system called the Vindicator, that could measure the wind speed and direction up to 1000 metres in front of a wind turbine. This allows enough time for the blades ...

BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 2. Wind speed measurements are currently being conducted in designated sea areas using LiDAR technology as part of the "Study of Offshore Wind Energy Potential and Preparatory ...

TGS has started the world's first multi-client offshore wind measurement campaign in the New York Bight area off the US East Coast. Global energy data and intelligence provider, TGS, has started the ...

Engineers used to rely on meteorological towers to measure wind speed. But “met towers” only give you data for one location; they don’t tell you anything about wind velocities around a valley or along ...

“World first” claimed for nacelle-mounted system that measures wind, optimizes performance. Wind power: the laser can measure the whole wind-field in front of a turbine. Researchers based at the ...
