EOLOS FLS200

A Stage 3+ buoy designed specifically for the offshore wind industry

The EOLOS FLS200 has been purposely designed exclusively for the needs of the offshore wind industry, ensuring proper dynamics for wind measurements, while minimizing both CAPEX and OPEX of offshore wind measurement campaigns. This is achieved through its innovative light-weight, compact structure with the necessary robustness to withstand the harshest offshore environments for a completely autonomous wind resource measuring campaign, anywhere in the world.

Accredited quality processes

EOLOS adopts rigour in its business processes, achieving and maintaining accredited certification for ISO 9001, ISO14001, ISO45001 and ISO27001.

All-in-one system (wind, metocean and environment)

Equipped with fully autonomous and remote sensing devices the EOLOS FLS200 provides wind, validated wave and current flow information in parallel with local real-time meteorological data.

Wind measurement at height

The EOLOS FLS200 uses the market leading ZX Lidars 300M continuous wave LiDAR, which has a proven track record in meteorological offshore applications.

Metocean

With validated wave sensors and industry standard ADCP devices and a meteorlogical station the FLS200 provides real-time metocean data as an integral sensor suite.

Environmental

The site assessment can include wildife observations above the ocean (via acoustic or visual recording) of avian activity or below the ocean via hydrophones to detect tagged or untagged marine species.
Water quality can also be logged using buoy mounted multi-probe oxygen and salinity measuring devices.

Versatile

Requires just a few weeks to get authorised and installed with easy re-deployment during the measuring campaign.

Fully autonomous

The EOLOS FLS200 is powered by means of renewable energy sources and batteries, which assure full autonomy.

Easy transport & deploy

Modular structure providing a low weight system, easy to install by means of readily available vessels at any industrial harbor.
