Orsted and the offshore frontier

Advancing renewable energy starts with a great partnership.

Power Performance Testing with WindCube® Nacelle

New IEC classification and field validation study

WindCube® Nacelle lidar is the first lidar to receive full classification according to the new IEC standard for nacelle-mounted lidar. Already included in developer and manufacturer Turbine Supply Agreements, WindCube Nacelle continues to increase adoption and project success around the globe.

Topics covered include:
• How Vaisala partnered with DNV to conduct the IEC 61400-50-3 classification

• Study methodology and approach

• Field validation with GE Power and Water

• Summary and next steps

In this eBook, we provide all the detail you want on the recent classification, how it took place, and its results.

“We trust Vaisala’s system quality and reliability. Their track record onshore, offshore, and with floating lidar systems has greatly helped.” Maxime Bellorge Project Sales Director, AKROCEAN

“We can get so many measurements by using one WindCube Scan unit. It’s extremely cost-effective [compared to other offshore measurement methods].” Atsushi Yoshimura Manager, Green Power Investment

“We are very pleased with the performance of the WindCube. The lidar has fulfilled its purpose by remotely extending the met mast wind measurements and decreasing the uncertainties in upcoming bankable energy yield assessments.” Gustaf Ekberg Head of Projects, NE Europe, European Energy

“If we’re not using remote sensing devices, we’re at risk to actually introduce bias. For most of these met masts, we’ve seen what we call shear relaxation — a 0.9% over-prediction when we use the mast alone, and 1.8% in energy.” Philippe Pontbriand Energy Resources Director, RES Americas, Inc.

Let's talk wind lidar.

I help lead Vaisala’s offshore wind energy efforts, and I'd like to be a resource for you. Let’s book a virtual or in-person meeting — should we start with coffee? (Starbucks® gift card is on me).

I’m interested in your offshore challenges, and I'll show you how WindCube and its related technologies can expand your perspective, improve offshore decision-making, and reduce the uncertainties in offshore wind energy projects.

Whatever your offshore priorities, I’m at your service. Just send me a meeting request using the form below, or you can contact me directly to set up a meeting.
