Integration of wind LIDARs in wind turbines for improved productivity and control
In June 2011, a hitherto unparalleled demonstra- tion of wind lidar performance was obtained in the calibrated wind tunnel belonging to LM Wind Power, Kolding Denmark:
Project description
On the basis of the first successful LIDAR test, i.e. laser-based wind gauges, wind scanners and wind gauges incorporated into the nacelle and blades are to be produced and tested during the project. The ability of LIDAR to measure wind fields in front of wind turbines will be estimated to increase electricity generation by 5% and improve blade lifetime. (Energy 10)
