NEOWIND

The aim of the Eurostars-NEOWIND project is to develop a modular lidar system (LMS) for offshore use, which has a significantly higher accuracy compared to the state of the art. The planned LMS is suitable for the integration of so-called scanning and vertically measuring lidar types and can be used on all platform types in all phases (planning, construction and operation) of a wind farm project, making it a pioneering technology for the optimisation of offshore wind farms.
As part of the subproject NEOWIND-Scanner, the existing onshore prototype of the SWE Scanning Lidar will be further developed into an offshore version. This represents a significant advance and opens up new application possibilities in terms of characterising, controlling and monitoring the flow in wind farms.
