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.

AKROCEAN testimonial

“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
Green Power investment testimonial

“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
European Energy testimonial

“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
RES Americas, Inc testimonial

“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.
