WindCube Nacelle for maritime

Pioneering the gold standard in science, innovation and support

Today WindCube lidars are backed by the best science and metrology and validated by the most demanding testing and certifications in the industry. Just as important, our unparalleled global service and support ensures you can count on us onshore, offshore, and worldwide.

Elevated Wind Resource Assessment

 

Wind resource assessment is a crucial, pressure-filled stage in wind energy development. And legacy technologies, such as met masts, are showing their limitations with today’s larger turbines — especially for offshore projects.

The WindCube® series of vertical profiling and 3D scanning lidars are accurate, rigorously validated, cost-effective supplements (or replacements) for met masts and other technologies. Developers around the globe are using WindCube to reduce risk, improve bankability and decision-making, and make better investments.
