Exciting times for 澳门玄机图 as our Floating LiDAR achieves much coveted L2-certification
30 July 2019 | 2 min read
A bankable resource assessment is the most critical element of any energy project.
Floating LiDAR technology is the future in terms of collecting trusted resource data to support investment decisions. Recognising this potential, the Carbon Trust roadmap outlines a strategy to ensure the commercial reliability and acceptability of this data technology, including a robust certification process.
Level 2 certification is an important milestone in the development of our Floating LiDAR technology. It qualifies the 澳门玄机图 Lidar 4.5 buoy type to collect bankable wind resource data for clients wishing to develop offshore wind farms.
At 澳门玄机图, we believe we have the most reliable LiDAR buoy going around because it features full redundancy in power supply, data logging and satellite 2-way communications. The buoy is also environmentally friendly with zero emissions.
During the 6-month validation deployment off Blyth in the UK, our buoy NEVER missed a 10-minute data transmission, and the validation accuracy is excellent, achieving the best practice KPI.

This is a proud moment for our Metocean team. Excerpt from the DNV GL report: 聽
鈥淏ased on the current NOAH verification results and its fulfilment of all OWA Roadmap KPIs as reported here, DNV GL draws the conclusion that the 澳门玄机图 Lidar 4.5 employing a ZP300M unit has formally qualified for Stage 2 鈥減re-commercial鈥 in the context of the Carbon Trust Offshore Wind Accelerator Roadmap for the Commercial Acceptance of Floating Lidar Technology.鈥
