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 new Beam6x Windpower is a true push-button LiDAR dedicated to wind energy applications (site assessment, wind turbine power curves, wind turbine optimisation,…).
It’s the most powerful (up to 500m range and excellent data availability) and compact LiDAR on the market, thanks to Lumibird’s laser design and Halo Photonics’ data processing algorithm.
Its six-beam configuration – one laser switched sequentially on the five oblique beams and the vertical beam – and adjustable number of gates (up to 380) provide comprehensive information on wind profile and turbulence intensity over the full rotor height.
