WindCube - a Vaisala company products

With more than 600 units operating worldwide, the Windcube is the reference remote sensor in the wind industry, providing accurate wind measurements up to 290 meters. Developers, power producers, consultants and manufacturers have selected it for their onshore and offshore projects – from energy yield assessment to power performance testing and optimisation.

The WINDCUBE 3D LIDAR product range is a versatile instrument that can address various needs in the Wind Power, climate research, severe weather and meteorology. With a range from 100m to 3.5 km, 6 km or 10km, multiple scanning patterns choices, high resolution wind data and aerosol structure capability, the WINDCUBE 100S/200S/400S is the ultimate 3D Doppler LIDAR in the industry.

The Windcube 400S-AT Lidar provides an operational answer for wind shear hazards: it scans in real time all potential hazard zones within the airport air space, detects wind shears to 10km range, and sends automatic alerts to air traffic controllers.

The Wind Iris is mounted on top of the nacelle for a short period of time. It measures the horizontal wind speed and direction at hub height ahead of the turbine, and generates accurate data to optimize wind turbine performance.

Wind farms are growing larger and more densely filled with turbines, and turbine technology continues to evolve. Vaisala WindCube® Scan Wind Energy Edition reliably and seamlessly provides accurate Wind Resource Assessment (WRA) and wake analysis that are now indispensable to onshore and offshore projects.
