WINDCUBE

The WINDCUBE® has the most units deployed of any LIDAR used for Wind Power applications. It is the equipment of choice for wind measurements at any step of the wind farm construction, from site assessment, site suitability, commissioning to repowering.

• Ultra-portable (45 kg) – 10 minutes installation
• Class 1 anemometer matched accuracy
• Complex terrain application with FCR : Flow Complexity Recognition
• Unmatched reliability and data availability
• Backed by industry leaders

APPLICATION: REDUCE UNCERTAINTY, INCREASE PROFITABILITY

The profitability of a wind farm rests upon reducing uncertainty associated with wind resource assessment and wind turbine optimization. Projects risks vary from site to site, depending upon wind farm size and site complexity.

In combination with traditional meterological met mast measuring for twelve to eigtheen months, a mobile LIDAR remote sensor collecting actual measurements is ideal for knowing the wind resource and reducing project risk.

Providing bankable data to wind farm investors and owners, the WINDCUBE can make the difference between project success or failure. An analysis of return on investments found that the use of a LIDAR system can save a millions in equity investments.

During the lifetime of windfarms, due to the increasing height of the turbines and the on-going revision of the IEC 61400-12-1 standard, the WINDCUBE becomes the equipment to be used to measure the wind speed across the entire rotor, and so make an accurate power curve measurement.

The 200m ultra-portable wind LIDAR profiler

Not all LIDARs are equal, the WINDCUBE is recognized as the best in class LIDAR in the industry with the most accurate data, proven by independent studies. With hundreds of LIDAR systems in operation, WINDCUBE is the proven choice for wind assessment.

The ultra-portable WINDCUBE Doppler LIDAR remote sensor collects measurements at heights up to 200 meters, mapping wind speed and direction, turbulence and wind shear. It is the lightest, most compact LIDAR available on the market.

The WINDCUBE designed to be deployed on any site is now operating successfully in 5 continents. The major developers, consultants and manufacturers have selected the WINDCUBE for its superior and reliable measurement accuracy, rapid deployment and ease of operation.
