Forewind deploys ZephIR 300 lidar to provide wind measurement data for the Dogger Bank wind farm(21/07/2011)
The Forewind consortium (RWE npower renewables, SSE, Statoil and Statkraft) have selected Natural Power’s ZephIR 300 to provide the first high-quality wind data measurements in close proximity to the Dogger Bank Zone – the largest of the UK’s Round 3 zones with the potential for up to 13GW of installed capacity. The first of various consents required for the Dogger Bank project is anticipated around late 2014. Wind resource assessment lidar ZephIR 300, a Natural Power product, has been deploy... [more]
Natural Power's free web based service provides an estimation of wind flow complexity on potential wind farm sites(27/12/2010)
As potential development sites with simple, flat terrain become fewer and fewer, more and more projects are built in, or near, forests and complex terrain. It is these complex flow sites that are often associated with harsh wind conditions likely to affect wind turbine performance. For example, complex terrain can induce large values of turbulence and high loads on wind turbine blades. As a result, there are increasing concerns about under-performing wind farms: maintenance costs are higher t... [more]
