Turbine-mounted wind LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) systems assume a central role in optimizing the performance and efficiency of wind turbines in the renewable energy sector. Utilizing laser technology to assess wind characteristics, these systems provide indispensable data that enhances wind farm operations.
One prominent application of turbine-mounted wind LiDAR involves conducting measurement campaigns spanning from one to three months. These campaigns are instrumental in load monitoring and power curve measurements, enabling the identification of potential issues and opportunities for improvements in the control system.
