Goldwind EFarm + LiDAR

WIND

Information

Goldwind’s front-mounted LiDAR wind measurement technology uses LiDAR units mounted on the turbine to capture the dynamic wind flow in front of the turbine. This information is then input into the turbine's real-time control system, EFarm, for use in advanced control algorithms that optimize the turbine performance, load, and other characteristics. This significantly reduces the unit's load, while improving its generation capacity. Goldwind has received the world’s first component certification from DNV GL for a Lidar-aided control system, a technology that will revolutionize wind turbine power production by reducing loads on blades by as much as 20% during operation.
