Wind Energy Operations

In a rapidly changing industry, WindCube lidar and related Vaisala solutions reduce uncertainty, simplify traditionally burdensome operations, accelerate innovation, and provide complete meteorological intelligence. Only Vaisala gives wind operators this level of comprehensiveness and integration.

There are no lidars quite like WindCube lidars. WindCube Nacelle, for example, is the first nacelle-mounted lidar to comply with the IEC 61400-50-3 standard, and it boasts unparalleled ranges up to 700m, with options for short- or long-range models depending on user needs. WindCube, WindCube Offshore, and WindCube Scan provide similar value to all sorts or operations, onshore and offshore.

Vaisala’s related weather sensors, systems, and data services enhance the power of WindCube lidar, enabling operators to manage wind farms decisively, strategically, and profitably.

Key benefits in wind operations include:

• Increased uptime and safety for assets and personnel
• Minimized operating costs, optimized performance, and lower LCOE
• Simplification of burdensome processes, such as PPT
• Improved community acceptance and support for wind energy
• Excellent forecasting for big-picture visibility
