WindCube innovations with Vaisala and Pavana Weather & Environment Wind and Solar Energy Sep 4, 2024 4PM Paris/10AM New York
Tackling a few wind farm development challenges Vaisala and our partners continually research and innovate to find solutions for our wind farm customers in every phase of development and operations. Join this next LiveCast for an inside look at two innovative ways WindCube wind lidar helps developers in more challenging terrain. For the first topic, a key member of our scientific team will reveal how customers leverage our award-winning Terrain Complexity Estimator tool. We do this as a service to to help our customers evaluate the level of complexity of their prospective locations. For the second topic, our partner, Pavana, will talk about their work with a customer to test and evaluate a unique method to measure wind in a low-aerosol, clean air environment. The speaker will provide an overview of the method and present key learnings realized so far. What we’ll cover: Evaluating prospective locations with Terrain Complexity Estimator service Using Flow Complexity Recognition software, Computational Fluid Dynamics correction method, dual scanning lidar, and Turbulence Intensity measurements Pavana discusses a unique method to measure wind in a low-aerosol, clean air environment with key learnings Can’t make it?
