DONG Energy has just placed an order for the latest version of FLiDAR’s floating lidar wind measurement equipment.
The second device, which incorporates numerous upgrades, will be delivered in early March 2014 for a one year measurement20campaign in the Irish Sea. In recent weeks, the first FLiDAR device has measured wind speeds of over 25 m/s (10 minute average) for sustained periods and survived maximum waves estimated at over 7 metres in height.
