The EOLOS FLS200 has completed a 6-month validation campaign next to the IEC-compliant IJmuiden offshore meteorological mast in the North Sea.
The campaign has been carried out in collaboration with RWE Innogy and under the framework of, and supported by, the Offshore Wind Accelerator (OWA), the Carbon Trust, as well as the Dutch R&D programme FLOW. ECN carried out the 3rd party validation, reporting excellent correlation and availability results of the performance of the EOLOS FLS200, comfortably compliant with the KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) of the Carbon Trust’s roadmap for the commercial acceptance of floating LiDAR technology. The EOLOS FLS200 Buoy has been developed with the support of the KIC InnoEnergy.
