Advance warnings, maximum uptime with wind lidar

Sudden, high winds can cause significant damage to solar power plants. While various mitigation strategies exist, only scanning wind lidar provides highly accurate real-time wind measurements over a broad area for up to 20 minutes of advance warning. This makes it the most effective mitigation method, allowing operators to stow trackers in time to minimize damage while avoiding unnecessary disruptions.

What will we cover?

• Findings from a study on how vulnerable solar power plants are to severe weather
• How climate change is bringing more frequent and less predictable storms with high winds
• The operational and equipment risks of high winds at solar power plants
• Scanning doppler wind lidar technology and what makes it an excellent solution for asset protection  
• How Vaisala WindCube® Scan measures incoming winds up to more than 10 km away, detecting threats 5 to 20 minutes in advance
• Real-life customer cases of enhancing wind resilience

This Tech Talk is tailor made for solar energy industry professionals including asset managers @IPPs (independent power producers)​, operations & management contractors, and solar energy investors.
