Long-range Power Performance Testing
This traditionally difficult process is simpler, thanks to WindCube nacelle-mounted lidar and a revolutionary new software analytics tool.
PPT made simple
Power Performance Testing (PPT) has always been a time-consuming and expensive process. With an unprecedented range of up to 700 meters, WindCube® Nacelle is the only lidar on the market to reach such distances — both onshore and offshore — and meet the PPT requirements for any current and future wind turbine, with accuracy and reliability as good as or better than met masts.
New advancements in measuring Turbulence Intensity with wind lidar
Industry players are working to increase lidar’s acceptance for TI measurements through projects aimed at developing guidelines and recommended practices — an ongoing effort. Vaisala is committed to advancing lidar technology and the wind energy industry through rigorous research and innovation.
