The Front Cover

The global wind industry continues its advances towards ever-larger turbines. Today’s turbines are routinely installed at hub heights exceeding 120 to 160 metres, with rotor diameters of 170 to 200 metres. This scale of technology demands a measurement solution that can provide finance-grade wind data across the full rotor swept area. The article on page 6 provides more details about ZX Lidars’ latest solution for lidar measurements on tall turbines.
