Mainstream Renewable Power is to deploy the North Sea’s first commercial floating LiDAR wind measurement device to support its proposed 450MW Neart Na Gaoithe offshore wind farm.
A deal has been signed with technology providers FLiDAR NV, for the launch of the floating LiDAR to the site almost 16 kilometres off the Fife Ness Coast early next year. Prior to its launch, the floating LiDAR will also be the first device to be validated at Narec’s newly installed Offshore Anemometry and Research Platform located off the coast of Blyth, Northumberland.
