The course is going to take place 25 November 2019 at DTU Wind Energy, Risø Campus, Roskilde. The course will focus on the use of Doppler lidar for wind measurements for offshore wind energy application.
The course has the following objectives:
- Understand the measurement principle of a Doppler wind lidar (continuous wave and pulsed technologies)
- Understand the difference between turbulence measured by a Doppler wind lidar and a sonic anemometer and how to use turbulence measurement from lidars (for vertical profiler lidars and nacelle mounted lidars)
- Use wind lidars for offshore wind turbine performance testing (including nacelle lidars and scanning lidars on turbine Transition Piece – pros/cons and challenges).
- Use floating lidars for offshore wind resource assessment (pros/cons and challenges).
- Know the status of best practice and international standards.
Who should attend?
The course addresses wind engineers who want to use wind lidars for offshore wind energy projects and wish to have a good understanding of the technology, its advantages and limitations. The teachers are experts on wind lidar measurements from DTU Wind Energy. The course will be a combination of lectures and exercises based on real lidar data.
