Vindicator® Laser Wind Sensor Wind Resource Assessment Unit

The Vindicator® laser wind sensor (LWS) is a lightweight, portable, all-weather wind assessment tool that precisely measures wind speed and direction up to 300 meters above ground—the full tip height of the largest utility scale wind turbines. The Vindicator® LWS is the ultimate tool for wind prospecting, wind resource assessment and wind turbine performance assessment—removing the guesswork from your engineering analyses using laser-generated precision.

All-Weather Wind Assessment Both On and Off Shore

Tested from -40°C to 55°C, the Vindicator® LWS is a robust, rugged, all-weather system that generates an accurate three-dimensional vector of the wind in all conditions and environments, including offshore. With its built-in motion compensation, the system can be mounted on a moving platform and still maintain accurate wind data. Moisture and salt spray did not affect the performance of the Vindicator® LWS when tested in extreme marine environments.

Minimal Environmental Impact

Because the Vindicator® LWS is a portable unit, you don’t need to install a tower or obtain a permit. Instead, it can be mounted easily in a truck or other vehicle, driven to a site, and operated with minimal setup time, and no adverse effect on the environment.

Wind Turbine Performance Assessment

With the Vindicator® LWS, you can determine the profile of the wind flow in front of a wind turbine, analyzing the performance against the manufacturer’s specifications. The Vindicator® system can be used to quickly survey sites and gather precise wind data with ease and flexibility.
