Wind Lidar developer ZX Lidars has successfully demonstrated the use of Drone Wind Lidar to accurately measure the wind in what is believed to be a world-first. ZX Lidars provides vertical and horizontal profiling wind Lidars to accurately measure wind conditions remotely and above or ahead of their installed position. The company has now achieved accurate wind Lidar measurements from a commercially-available drone for demonstration purposes, and trialed the system successfully during summer 2018 with excellent data rates and sensitivity.
Managing Director, Ian Locker. ZX Lidars said, “This and other trials conducted since 2015 only stand to further confirm that our core technology is accurate, reliable and robust lending itself perfectly to a range of applications such as Drone Wind Lidar.” Dr Michael Harris, Director of Science at ZX Lidars, has pioneered wind Lidar for the wind energy industry for nearly 20 years .
