Description
This project seeks to explore the technical feasibility of incorporating remote laser wind measurement
instrumentation within the interior body of wind turbine blades, including use of blade LIDAR windows
conformal to the existing blade shape. This will pave the way for wind turbine integrated intersecting beam
laser wind measurement - a technique that will enable incoming wind profiles to be measured with
unprecedented detail - this is of great importance when it comes to optimising and protecting the massive wind
energy generating assets that are being installed offshore and onshore around the UK, enabling the UK to
reduce further its reliance on fossil fuels and offering export opportunities to a long term global growth market.
