Turning motion into information: turbulence measurements using the N-beam method

For several years, we at Fraunhofer IWES have been working on removing the influence of the floating lidar system’s motion from wind measurements as accurately as possible. A deterministic motion correction developed for this purpose now forms the basis for another approach: the N-beam method.

Fraunhofer IWES Wind Lidar Buoy achieves Stage-3 maturity level

The Fraunhofer IWES has presented a series of proofs of the quality and reliability of its FLS wind measurements. By achieving maturity level 3, the Fraunhofer IWES ZX wind lidar buoy joins the short list of stringently validated FLS types…

Waves, buoys, offshore wind energy: Wind measurement in the German Bight

Author: M. Sc. Sarah Zwick Fraunhofer IWES Wind Lidar Buoys floated in the German Bight, east of the Bard Offshore 1 wind farm, at times last year. These yellow buoys ensure that comprehensive wind measurement data and meteorological parameters can…
