About

About Windar Photonics A/S WINDAR PHOTONICS is a Danish manufacturer of nacelle LiDAR sensors, and a provider of retrofit Optimisation and Monitoring solutions for wind turbine generators. ***Retrofit Optimisation Solution: By measuring the wind in front of the turbine, the Windar Nacelle LiDAR is able to measure and provide state-of-the-art wind data, which can be used to optimise the yawing of the turbine, thereby increasing energy production and reducing loads at high wind speeds. • AEP increases of 2-4% • 20% load reduction at high wind speeds • Plug and Play integration ***NEXUS OS Monitoring Solution: The NEXUS OS is a modular software suite and LiDAR monitoring OS that offers advanced asset monitoring and automatic reporting regarding the performance of the turbine, where the LiDAR sensor is installed. The NEXUS can likewise be deployed as a fleet managing system, which collects data from the fleet of Windar LiDAR sensor equipped turbines and stores it in a single cyber safe and on-premises location. Windar Photonics is a spin-off company from the Danish Technical University (DTU) at Risø, founded in 2008 and registered at the AIM, London Stock Exchange in 2015. Windar Photonics has its main office in Denmark and representative offices in China, along with sales representation and installation support for the North American and European markets Windar Photonics’ LiDAR assisted solutions offers asset owners the ability to both optimise and monitor their wind turbine generators, resulting in increased energy production, reduced loads, a wealth of wind field data, and accurate performance tracking of individual turbines and entire fleets. OPTIMISATION SOLUTION The Windar Photonics Optimisation solution enables asset owners to • Increase annual energy production (AEP) by 2-4% • Decrease loads at high wind speeds The Optimisation solution can be installed and integrated with the control system of any model of wind turbine and is delivered with the cyber-safe Nexus OS software platform. The Windar Photonics Optimisation solution consists of the following products: • The WindEYE LiDAR sensor • The WindTIMIZER integration solution • The Nexus OS software platform MONITORING SOLUTION The key component of the Monitoring solution is the Nexus TPM module, which is a software add-on for the Windar Optimisation solution. The Nexus TPM provides an unbiased set of extremely accurate data relating to the performance of individual wind turbines, the performance of the entire fleet, and the wind field, enabling asset owners to both assess wind turbine performance and formulate data-driven optimisation strategies for enhancing the performance of entire wind farms. • Unique solution for precisely monitoring wind turbine performance independently from other data sources • Monitoring of wind turbine efficiency within ± 0.5% accuracy • Enables monitoring of both single turbines and entire fleets For more information: visit our website @ www.windarphotonics.com
