Vertical Wind Lidar

Vertical Wind Lidar

WindMast WP350

WindMast WP350 is a "wind tower replacement" type pulse coherent wind lidar, featuring a compact design, low power consumption, and high precision, fully designed and manufactured in accordance with IEC 61400-12-1 standards.

It can continuously detect wind speed and direction profiles at any of 24 height gates between 40m and 350m above the lidar.

It is suitable for wind resource surveying and assessment, wind turbine power curve testing, wind power forecasting, wind shear analysis in complex terrain, and atmospheric boundary layer dynamics research.
