“EDF ER has deployed ground based l idar
ZephIR 300 in place of traditional mast
anemometry. In this application ZephIR 300
provides a low visual impact, safer approach
to wind resource assessment measuring
higher, faster and to a greater level of

Entirely replace the need for a met

Overcome logistical and practical
issues of siting met masts in complex

Use CFD conversion to provide a
traceable, auditable comparison of
ZephIR 300 data to expected mast

Work with industr y leaders in CFD
such as Natural Power and Meteodyn
for your data conversions.
Why? In areas of complex flow any
comparisons between measurement
devices wil l be biased by the non
laminar flow.
CFD conversion of ZephIR 300 data is
extensively validated, independently
accepted and makes the use of
stand-alone lidar in complex flow
possible.

These reductions in uncertainty and bias improve the potential profitabil ity of a wind farm
through more certain wind resource assessment. Further, understanding of wind flow for wind
turbine performance through power curve measurements across the entire rotor diameter
to IEC 61400-12-1 is achieved.

THE EC ON OMIC BE NEF I TS
F INA NC IA L JUSTIF ICATI ON S F OR LIDA R S DURING DE VELOPME NTWind resource assessment determines
the long-term wind resource and flow
characteristics across the project site. Wind
turbine siting, specification and suitability
studies can then be performed. In addition
the long-term wind resource can be
calculated. This is all to ensure that accurate
annual and life-time energy yield predictions
can be made, including an assessment of the
uncertainty in such calculations.
ZephIR 300 delivers measurements at
heights across the entire rotor-swept area,
confirming hub-height resource as well as
wind shear, veer and turbulence across
the rotor. Shear extrapolation bias and
uncertainty are therefore greatly reduced.
ZephIR 300 improves flow model accuracy
through multiple spatially separated
measurement points on the site for model
verification and tuning. Advanced flow models
provide significantly improved horizontal
and vertical extrapolation of measured wind
resource, especially in complex and forested
terrain.
ZephIR 300 is re-deployable, portable and
does not require lengthy planning applications
before installation. Data can be collected
easily at multiple points on a site to provide
representative measured data for all turbine
locations and tuning / verification points for
flow models further reducing uncertainty and
ensuring the right turbine type is chosen.

DNV GL: C LEA R GUIDELINE S F OR ‘BA NKING’ ON REMOTE SE N SOR SDNV GL has been widely acknowledged as
a globally recognised technical authority on
wind energy for three decades. The company
has applied this authority to the emerging
field of remote sensing, specifically its use
in the context of the development and
financing of wind farm projects. Their analysis
notes that cup anemometers have been the
industry standard for measuring wind speed
at wind farm sites and therefore they must
be considered the benchmark against which
any alternative measurement device must be
compared.
STAGE 1STAGE 3
STAGE 2
WHAT D O THE BA NKS SAY?
DNV GL considers ZephIR 300 to be at Stage
3 under “benign” conditions - accepted for
use in bankable / finance-grade wind speed
and energy assessments with either no or
limited on-site met mast comparisons.
ZephIR was the first wind lidar system to
achieve accreditation at this level.
Limited validation of device against
conventional met masts over a range of
heights (50m – 120m), achieving a similar level
of accuracy in measurement.
Moving to formal wind speed /energy
assessments based in part on data from the
device, but only with site-specific validations
against conventional anemometry.

Real-time wind information during

to your local or remote site teams.
Realise the benefit of safer lifting
and more efficient build times.
How? ZephIR 300 provides wind
speed and direction measurements
up to crane heights and above.
ZephIR 300 is already suppor ting
wind construction onshore, and

gathered, subject to contract.
Efficiently measure all turbine power

traditional anemometry.
Include power cur ve measurements
in End of Warranty Inspections
ensuring all issues can be rectified
within your warranty period.
Why? Power Performance Testing

curve of a wind turbine to the
warranted power curve provided by
the wind turbine manufacturer.
ZephIR 300 provides accurate,
