Power Performance Measurements from the wind turbine to IEC 61400-50-3:2022

Wind turbine power performance testing with lidar

Understand a turbine’s true potential with a nacelle based power curve measurement.

ZX TM provides full rotor wind measurements and turbine motion-compensated true Hub Height measurement and can be used to follow IEC 61400-50-3:2022 Standard | Wind energy generation systems – Part 50-3: Use of nacelle-mounted lidars for wind measurements.

Remove uncertainties with flow distortion around nacelle anemometry by measuring ahead of the turbine in free wind flow.

Benchmark turbine-to-turbine performance testing to identify any early underperformance from blade erosion, forestry effects or other mechanical issues.

See the full rotor equivalent wind approaching the turbine to identify wakes, ground-effects and yaw misalignment.

Measurements can be made according to industry-standard procedures that are accepted by wind turbine manufacturers, when included in Turbine Supply Agreements.

Power Performance Testing (PPT) compares the actual power curve of a wind turbine to the warranted power curve provided by the wind turbine manufacturer.

Our Recommendation

Reduce your offshore wind farm project and financial uncertainty by measuring wind characteristics higher than a met mast and by mobilising measurements across a whole site with wind Lidar. Integrated in to all major Floating Buoy platforms.

Wind resource assessment and measurements offshore

Responsible for 95%+ of all new offshore wind measurements globally

£150bn of finance invested in clean energy from ZX 300M data

10-300m range - the widest range available of any Lidar

Our Recommendation

Reduce your onshore wind project and financial uncertainty by measuring wind characteristics higher than a met mast and by mobilising measurements across a whole site with wind Lidar. Be flexible within your planning applications by using a low visual impact, low height device.

Wind resource assessment and measurements onshore

Bankable standalone wind data in simple and complex terrain

Extreme environments, proven operation for 10 years

10-300m range - the widest range available of any Lidar
