Vindicator® Laser Wind Sensor

The Vindicator® fiber optic laser wind sensing system measures real-time horizontal and vertical wind speed and direction at varying ranges out to 300 meters ahead of the sensor. When mounted on a wind turbine nacelle, this forward-looking information facilitates smarter turbine control for increased power output and reduced turbine stress.

Provides update on field trials with WEICan and Helimax

Catch the Wind Ltd. (TSX-V: CTW.S) today released the final results of its trial program with Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD). The results demonstrated that Catch the Wind’s Vindicator® Laser Wind Sensor (LWS) increased the energy output of a turbine by an average of 12.3 percent as a result of better alignment with oncoming wind and increased gust detection.
