NEOWIND R&D Project: Excellent execution and final results
The project led by EOLOS with collaboration from Sowento and the University of Stuttgart has reached its conclusion, successfully achieving all objectives set in 2022.
Under the umbrella of the Eurostars Call 3 European Partnership for Innovative SMEs, co-funded by the Commission and Eureka member states, the NEOWIND project has been dedicated to the development of Next Generation of Offshore Wind Lidar Measurements (NEOWIND) including the design and validation of its LiDAR Modular System (LMS). The LMS vastly increased accuracy compared to state-of-the-art wind measurement tools, and is suitable for the integration of different LiDAR technologies deployable via multiple floating platform types, during all offshore wind project phases (development, construction and operation).
“NEOWIND is an exciting opportunity to expand today’s Floating Lidar features and commercial services. We aim to incorporate such findings to our current technology and to make a step further in the field of turbulence intensity accuracy, wake modelling and blockage effect.”
The NEOWIND Team: EOLOS, sowento and University of Suttgart SWE.
Eurostars is the European Partnership on Innovative SMEs funding instrument that supports innovative SMEs and project partners by funding international collaborative R&D and innovation projects from 37 countries.
