Description

This procurement involves the supply of Doppler LiDAR solutions to assist with the detection of wind rotors and general wind monitoring applications. The aim of this procurement is to improve our ability to detect rotor effects in real time, which might allow us to assign an objective quantification of the severity of turbulence. This could improve the advice provided to customers, potentially giving them sufficient confidence to make real-time management decisions based on this advice.
