Description
Wind LIDAR (LIght Detection and Ranging) is a technique that is used to remotely measure the wind speed and
is being used throughout the wind industry from site prospecting to wind turbine control. Floating Wind LIDAR
has been more recently introduced to replace expensive offshore meteorological masts, however multiple
intersecting beams are required to give a true 3D wind direction and this cannot be done with today's floating
Wind LIDAR designs. Existing floating LIDAR cannot adequately measure turbulence because of their diverging
beams whereas the converging beam LIDAR offers this capability which is critical to appropriate wind turbine
type selection. This project seeks to investigate the feasibility of constructing an advanced motion control that
can enable multiple Wind LIDAR beams to be intersected even when operating in the open sea from floating
platforms. This enhancement of details will lead to more accurate turbine performance assessment,
optimisation and also offer the opportunity to investigate and monitor what are the actual wind profiles hitting
these enormous offshore structures by offering volumetric 3d wind mapping.
