Overcoming the Limitations of Traditional Wind MeasurementOur world is in a transitionary phase, with climate change and the need for sustainable energy production surfacing as two of the most critical issues in our lifetime. As we grapple with this new reality, renewable energy – such as wind power – has moved from the outskirts to the front lines as countries strive to achieve net-zero emissions and expand their renewable energy capacity. By revolutionising wind measurement, lidar technology has become the go-to option for overcoming the limitations of traditional wind measurement. Lidar helps to address modern wind measurement challenges and opens up new opportunities by changing how the industry builds and operates wind energy projects.
