Eolos Floating Lidar Solutions, working with the University of Stuttgart, Whiffle, TNO, Pondera, REdouble, and RWE Offshore Wind, has been selected for research funding under the CETPartnership Joint Call 2024 for the SSwiFT Wind project. The project will develop and validate a modular floating lidar system that combines scanning and vertical lidar with numerical modelling.
The aim is to improve understanding of complex wind flows, turbulence, and wake effects that influence offshore wind farm performance. The work will be supported by high-resolution datasets and simulations to build a detailed picture of wind conditions across offshore sites.
Funding will be provided through the Clean Energy Transition Partnership and co-funded by the European Commission. Additional support comes from CDTI in Spain, PtJ in Germany, and RVO in the Netherlands.
