Streamline VS+ Doppler LiDAR

  • The StreamLine VS+ Doppler LiDAR system is suited to boundary layer profiling with proven optical arrangement and components. It is an autonomous, turn-key LiDAR system incorporating an internal scanner housed in an environmental enclosure.

    The internal scanner gives a reduced field of regard of 70° to 90° in elevation at any azimuth. The flexible data acquisition software allows VAD scans, DBS wind profiles, staring and arbitrary scans to be scheduled. The further wind profiling software allows 4 to 360 points VAD + vertical scans, with an update every 2 seconds at all heights – which could be up to 3200 heights.

    Its accurate scanner and data acquisition make it suited for a wide range of applications from wind resource assessment prior to wind turbine installation to electricity production optimisation along wind turbine farms.
