("Windar" or the "Company")
WindEYE(TM) orders from large scale US IPP
Windar Photonics plc (AIM:WPHO), the technology group that has
developed a cost efficient and innovative LIDAR wind sensor for use
on electricity generating wind turbines, is pleased to announce
that it has received a repeat order for its WindEYE(TM) LiDAR wind
sensors from a large North American wind farm owner and operator
for immediate delivery.
The repeat order for the 5 WindEYE(TM) LiDAR units are expected
to be installed on Suzlon S88 2.1 MW wind turbines in the US, where
the next step will be to integrate all delivered units directly
with the wind turbines' control systems.
The integration process will allow the wind turbine control
system to receive measurement data directly from the Windar
Photonics LiDAR sensor, enabling the wind turbine to yaw according
to the oncoming wind, hence increasing the annually generated power
by 1-4% and potentially enhancing the life span of the wind turbine
by reducing the damaging loads that affect a misaligned wind
turbine.
Jørgen Korsgaard, Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
commented:
"We are looking forward to continuing our collaboration with
this major US utility, and we are pleased that the previously
ordered LiDAR units performed according to expectations. We are
excited about this next step, which will mark the first WindEYE(TM)
LiDAR wind sensor to be integrated directly with the wind turbines'
control system within the retro-fit market segment. With direct
turbine integration solutions Windar will in future be able to
offer solutions that utilise the data provided by the WindEYE(TM)
LiDAR wind sensor to a higher extent within the retro-fit market
segment."
