Posters
Come meet the poster presenters to ask them questions and discuss their work
We would like to invite you to come and see the posters at our upcoming conference. The posters will showcase a diverse range of research topics, and will give delegates an opportunity to engage with the authors and learn more about their work. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or simply curious about the latest developments in your field, we believe that the posters will offer something of interest to everyone. So please join us at the conference and take advantage of this opportunity to learn and engage with your peers in industry and the academic community.
On 9 April at 17:15, we’ll also hold the main poster session and distinguish the 7 best posters of this year’s edition with our traditional Poster Awards Ceremony. Join us at the poster area to cheer and meet the laureates, and enjoy some drinks with all poster presenters!
We look forward to seeing you there!
PO139: Lidar performance results in hot weather, dusty conditions and clean air
Mark Tristram, Director of Production, Supply Chain, Supplier Quality & Customer Experience, ZX Lidars
Abstract
Wind Lidars are now a common component in the toolkit of most wind project developers, being relied upon to provide data at all stages of project development. With this increased usage, and the constraints of available land and grid connections faced by many international wind markets, Lidars are increasingly expected to operate in extremely remote locations for long periods of time and with minimal intervention. In addition, many of the most remote environments are also those with the harshest conditions, further increasing the need for measurement equipment to be both resilient and reliable. The work presented here aims to summarise the performance of ZX 300 Lidars in one such environment; the Australian outback. The following environmental conditions represent a unique proving ground for Lidar devices, with the lessons learned here being relevant for many locations closer to home: * Remote sites (often several hours drive from the nearest town) * Hot weather (regularly in excess of 40°C) * Dry, dusty conditions * Heavy, tropical rainstorms * Clean air conditions * A prevalence of high-height measurements in the market Multiple measurement campaigns are summarised here, showing the ability of ZX 300 Lidars to deliver high levels of both system and data availability in challenging environments. When viewed together, these examples represent one of the most robust tests of Lidar equipment in the real world. Meanwhile the individual conditions act as worst-case examples, or stress tests, for many of the conditions faced on development projects here in Europe.
