Lidar

As turbines continue to grow taller, Lidar has emerged as a powerful tool for collecting precise, bankable data at a range of heights. Ideal for wind resource assessment, wind turbine optimization, and wind plant monitoring, Lidar can be deployed alone or alongside a met mast, and can be used in a variety of climates and terrains.

NRG Systems – the only wind Lidar expert based in North America – has over 10 years of experience with this remarkably flexible technology. In keeping with our dedication to providing customers with complete solutions, our Lidar offerings include repair and validation services for both Spidar and ZX 300e Lidars as well as a range of field and data services and complementary products, all backed by our knowledgeable and attentive technical services team.

Rental Options

ZX 300e Wind Lidar, ZX TM, and a range of PV-based remote power supply options are available to rent from NRG for campaigns in North America. International rental options are available from NRG’s Global Partner Network. ZX 300e rental campaigns are particularly well-suited to power performance tests conducted in accordance with the IEC 61400-12 Edition 2 (2017) standard, where the Lidar may only be required for 3 to 6 months.
