The Vindicator® laser wind sensor (LWS) is a ‘next generation’ wind sensor for utility-scale wind turbines. From its position on top of the nacelle, it determines the wind speed and direction in the undisturbed air 300 meters in front of the turbine. As a result, the unit gives the control system a predictive, three-dimensional view of actual conditions which allows you to optimize wind turbine performance.
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.
The WindSeeker™ LWS, a miniaturized hand-held version of Catch the Wind’s precision laser wind sensing technology, measures wind speed and direction at a distance of 1000 meters. This unit is compact, rugged and easy to transport, perfect for wind prospecting, rapid resource assessment and turbine performance monitoring.
Racer’s Edge® LWS is a compact hand-held wind measurement device designed for the sport of sailing which provides instant, accurate wind measurements, valuable in both competitive racing and recreational sailing. Cutting edge innovations in pulsed laser technology allow Racer’s Edge® LWS to measure wind speed and direction up to 1000 meters away, a capability previously unheard of in a hand-held device.
