LiDAR - Beam 6x by Lumibird

Remote Sensing Devices
Remote sensing devices (RSDs) such as the Beam6x by Lumibird are a quick method of determining the wind characteristics of a potential wind project site without the need for an on-site Meteorological tower. Using a Beam6x LiDAR, paired with a Sentrex Power Supply, reliable meteorological data can be acquired.
Which RSD should you choose?
Some things to consider:
-
User friendly installation
-
Dimensions of measurement device
-
Maintenance schedule and requirements
-
Amount of measurable heights/data​

If you have a potential site and are unsure of which SoDAR or LiDAR would be best suited for your location, we can help!

The Beam6x Windpower is a true push-button LiDAR designed for wind energy applications — from site assessment and power curve validation to turbine optimization.
With a measurement range up to 500 m, excellent data availability, and a compact, lightweight design, it delivers industry-leading performance thanks to Lumibird’s advanced laser technology and Halo Photonics’ precision data algorithms.
Its six-beam configuration — one laser sequentially switched between five oblique beams and a vertical beam — combined with up to 380 adjustable range gates, provides a complete picture of wind profiles and turbulence intensity across the full rotor height.
Built for reliability and ease of use, the Beam6x brings high-resolution wind data to any site, anywhere.
