The programme – claimed to be the “most comprehensive”ever carried out in the industry – will deploy a trio of SgurrEnergy’s G4000Offshore Galion Lidar devices on a 5MW Areva M5000-116.
They will simultaneously gather wind data at multiplemeasurement points, to feed back detailed information on the resource before andafter it interacts with the turbine.
From the collected data, Areva expects to form adetailed overview of the inflowing wind field conditions over the entire rotorarea, along with a better understanding of wake effects downstream of the turbine.
