Across the U.S., wind project timelines are increasingly influenced by complex and often unpredictable permitting processes – extending development schedules, introducing risk, and driving up costs. Lidar-based measurement campaigns allow developers to begin collecting wind resource data sooner, enabling more informed decisions and helping keep projects on track.
Before a single turbine is installed or a solar panel is mounted on a utility-scale project, developers, investors, and lenders rely on high-quality resource assessment data to evaluate project viability, secure financing, and mitigate risk. LOGR | Met, NRG's next-generation data logger, was purpose-built to deliver the high-quality measurements and reliable data availability essential to bankable resource assessment campaigns.
In renewable energy, data is the foundation of every decision. Whether you are evaluating a site for a potential project, optimizing system performance, or ensuring compliance with industry standards, the quality and accessibility of your data makes all the difference.
That is why NRG developed LOGR | Met – a next-generation data logger designed to meet the growing demands of wind and solar resource measurement. But what makes it “next-generation”?
In December 2023, Exploits Valley Renewable Energy Corporation embarked on a groundbreaking project to establish one of the world’s largest green hydrogen and ammonia plants. Central to this endeavor are ZX 300-based resource assessment solutions from NRG Systems.
NRG Systems, a leader in Lidar technology, established our ZX Lidars Service Center in 2019. We are the only authorized third-party service center for ZX Lidars in the world.
The SymphoniePRO® Data Logger brings with it significant feature upgrades to an unparalleled legacy of purpose-built renewable energy data loggers.
In the course of conversations with wind developers new to Lidar technology, a number of questions seem to come up regularly. Two very practical questions have to do with how WINDCUBE Lidars might affect overall wind resource assessment campaign duration and also whether frequent relocations of the device are warranted.
Data matters. The accuracy, consistency, and yes, safety of measurement data keep many wind developers and analysts up at night. Customers often ask about the digital and physical security of RNRG instruments, so I sat down with Michael Fisher to get answers to the most common questions.
We're excited to share the latest version of both software and firmware for our newest data logger, SymphoniePRO. This release introduces exciting functionality including compatibility with our SCADA communications module, performance improvements, and more.
The draft IEC 61400-12-1 standard, expected to be released in early 2017, has taken what was previously an optional sensor rise recommendation and made it the new minimum for compliance.
