LiDAR
LiDAR in the wind industry
- LiDAR stands for “Light Detection and Ranging”
- LiDAR uses the Doppler effect on the laser light to measure wind conditions.
- LiDAR has become more and more popular in the wind industry
On the one hand as a supplement to the traditional met mast, for wind park roaming and height extrapolation.
On the other hand as a standalone bankable wind measurement.
Those applications are presented in the Measnet guideline for site Assessment MEASNET Site Assessment
| C.7 RSD with Control Mast | |
| C8. Stand-Alone Application of RSD | |
| C9: Wind Measurements aiming for a better Spatial Coverage of a Wind Farm Area | (there is already a mast, but you want to measure wind conditions on other places in the wind park “wind park roaming”) |
| C10. Wind Shear Measurements for Vertical Extrapolation of Mast Measurements | (there is already a mast, but you want to measure wind conditions above the mast “height extrapolation”). |
