Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) will become more popular than MET masts for offshore wind feasibility and power curve verification tests, a panel at this 18 Jul 2017 's LIDAR said. Validation campaigns have found Offshore Wind Conference is a cost-effective way to gather reliable financial data on a wind turbine's power output. While LIDAR works best with short masts for onshore projects, offshore wind projects only require the LIDAR to provide data, said Leosphere | http://www.leosphere.com , CEO of LIDAR manufacturer Offshore Wind Conference .
Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) will become more popular than MET masts for offshore wind feasibility and power curve verification tests, a panel at this year's Offshore Wind Conference said. Validation campaigns have found LIDAR is a cost-effective way to gather reliable financial data on a wind turbine's power output. While LIDAR works best with short masts for onshore projects, offshore wind projects only require the LIDAR to provide data, said Alexandre Sauvage, CEO of LIDAR manufacturer Leosphere.
