CW LiDAR wind direction disambiguation using “VORTEX” modelled data: an offshore case study with EOLOS FLS200

June 2024

A continuous wave (CW) Lidar alone cannot determine the sense of wind direction due to its homodyne behaviour. To resolve this 180º ambiguity, the Lidar requires supplementary data obtained from a sonic anemometer installed in close proximity, which allows the Lidar to discern the true direction of the wind at the high frequency level.

Floating LiDAR Offshore Wind 100% Data Availability

April 2022

In this work we present the methodology and results to obtain 100% data availability for offshore wind Resource assessment and site characterisation via the combination of Eolos Floating Lidar solutions measurements with the Vortex GapFill (VGP) tool based on the LES – Large Eddy Simulations numerical model.

TI: FLD vs. Mast. Variations over different atmospheric and oceanographic conditions

June 2020

This study focuses on the comparison of the offshore turbulence intensity (TI) observed by both, a Floating LiDAR Device (FLD) and a reference fixed Meteorological Mast (MM). All the data has been obtained from the EOLOS FLS200 verification campaign that took place in 2015 at the IJmuiden MM (IJ-MM), in the dutch sector of the North Sea. The FLS200 mounts a ZephIR 300 produced by ZXLidars. The successful outcome of this verification campaign assigned the “until-then-prototype” EOLOS FLS200 with the precommercial level defined by the Carbon Trust Offshore Wind Accelerator (CT-OWA) roadmap [1], Stage-2. The campaign lasted for eight months, from March to October, and all the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) listed in the document where above the threshold of best practices proposed by the CT-OWA roadmap.
