Ventus will use the LiDAR for its wind resource assessment campaigns, power curve verification, and wind farm optimization requirements across Latin America.
Ventushas acquired this user-friendly remote sensor to generate bankable wind measurements for its clients’ projects.
“We chose WINDCUBE because it is recognized as the market leading technology for superior performance in both wind resource assessment and wind farm performance monitoring. It will help us reduce measurement uncertainty and thus get easier, better financing,” said Juan Pablo Saltre, Founding Partner of VENTUS.
“We consider Latin America to be one of the most promising wind power markets in the world. Wind energy project development is increasing at a rapid pace in the region, so we are not surprised to observe a growing interest in LiDAR due to its precision, reliability, and ease of deployment,” said David Hurwitt, VP of Global Marketing & Product Management at Renewable NRG Systems.
The WINDCUBE v2, which is light, ultra-portable and easy-to-move, is expected to be a popular option for accurate wind measurement in the region. It uses pulsed Doppler LiDAR technology to provide high quality data on par with an IEC calibrated met mast.
WINDCUBE v2 can be quickly and easily deployed for fast collection of bankable data without the need for special permits. With multiple communications options, IP67 environmental protection, and the optional Flow Complexity Recognition (FCR) complex terrain solution, WINDCUBE v2 operates reliably in any climate or terrain.
