Systems for airborne applications Galion - wind power system 'Vector' - Full waveform, all-sky 3-D laser imager Bespoke LiDAR system design
.  

 

The Galion LiDAR, distributed by SgurrEnergy, has been optimised for collecting data for wind power applications. 

The all-sky scanning capability enables many more data collection opportunities than VAD scanning alone.
 

An all-sky scanning capability gives data capture flexibility and more methods of measuring wind speed, turbulence, complex flow, turbine wake interaction etc. etc.


The Galion undergoing Riso certification from January to May 2009

Increased wind analysis options with more scanning options:
Doppler beam swing,
Vector,
RHI,
PPI,
VAD,
Arc scans.

New Wake monitoring opportunities from full scanner control:
Staring,
User generated arbitrary scan files.

 
 
 

Results from the Risų mast comparison. The LiDAR data was not internally filtered to remove any data from the test. Some filtering was performed by Risų to remove data during wind conditions where 'shadowing' for the fixed mast anemometers was likely.

Galion wind lidar has been independently tested at Risų DTU in Denmark. The executive summary is available for download at: Galion lidar testing Exec Summary (PDF, 126kb). To request the full report please contact Dr Peter Clive at galion@sgurrenergy.com or phone +44 (0) 141 227 1700
