Windar Photonics is a technology group that develops cost-efficient and innovative Light Detection and Ranging (“LIDAR”) optimization systems for use on electricity generating wind turbines. LIDAR wind sensors in general are designed to remotely measure wind speed and direction.
Overview
WindEye™ Sensor
The Group’s key product is the WindEye™ Sensor, which measures wind direction and wind speed by scanning a laser beam ahead of the wind turbine. The WindEye™ Sensor was designed for the general optimization of wind turbines.
The WindTimizer
The WindTIMIZER is the Group’s solution to integrate the WindEYE™ with the wind turbine’s controller to facilitate continuous yaw correction.
Retrofit control system
The Group’s product portfolio further includes a retrofit control system intended as an upgrade to older wind turbines’ control systems, while at the same time allowing the WindEYE™ to be integrated directly with the control system.
