LIDAR Measurements

DTU Wind is a pioneer in the development, testing, and certification of lidar instruments for remotely measuring wind. We have introduced several new lidar concepts to support our research goals and benefit commercial applications.

Examples include:

  • Short and Long-Range WindScanner systems: Versatile multi-lidar systems that operate together to measure 2D/3D wind flows
  • SpinnerLidar: Fast scanning of 2D winds for turbine control and wake analysis
  • Lidics: Short-range lidars with low uncertainty used as calibration references

DTU Wind also offers accredited lidar calibration services to the public and can lead or support the execution of complex measurement campaigns.
