ZX Lidars’ latest wind lidar, the ZX 300e, will support wind farm development in Serbia, with two units planned for Fortis Energy’s projects.
The two lidars are currently undergoing 200 metre mast verification with DNV in Hannover, Germany. Following verification, the Lidars will be deployed in Serbia to support wind resource assessment activities for two separate Fortis Energy projects.
New Energy Solutions (NES) will provide remote off-grid power supply systems and support installation of the ZX 300e units in the field. The projects build on NES’s previous experience working with ZX Lidars technology. In 2023, NES supported a ZX 300 Lidar for a different project, which has performed reliably using their remote off-grid power supply solution, monitoring and data analysis platform.
“Reliable wind measurement is a critical step in the development of new wind projects,” said Keiran Knowles of ZX Lidars. “We are pleased to see the ZX 300e supporting Fortis Energy’s plans in Serbia and continuing our collaboration with NES in the region.”
“Accurate wind data is essential to the successful development of our projects,” said Aleksandar Nikolić, Project manager at Fortis Energy. “The ZX 300e will support our wind measurement campaigns at WPP Gornjak and WPP Grot and Oblik in Serbia, helping to ensure a robust resource assessment during the early stages of development.”
ZX 300e is designed for bankable wind measurement campaigns, delivering high-accuracy wind data across the rotor swept area and helping developers reduce uncertainty in wind resource assessments and throughout the project lifecycle.
