DONG Energy has selected FLiDAR nv to carry out offshore wind measurements using a floating LiDAR device. The partnership initially involves a one year measurement campaign in the Irish Sea.
The FLiDAR measurement buoy is a floating LiDAR based system which has been developed by 3E, and Offshore & Wind Assistance (OWA). It consists of a marine buoy equipped with a buoy-adapted Leosphere Windcubev2 LiDAR secured on top of it. FLiDAR is the first floating LiDAR based measurement device to be successfully tested in real offshore conditions in the North Sea in 2011. The FLiDAR is currently being validated further in the Irish Sea as part of the UK’s Carbon Trust Offshore Wind Accelerator programme.
