Since April 2026, a Lumibird’s “BEAM6x WindPower” and Vaisala’s “WindCube 2.1 XP” have been operating on a Fraunhofer IWES Wind Lidar Buoy in the North Sea.
Modular integration on the Fraunhofer IWES Wind Lidar BuoyThe two Lidar systems are housed in separate protective enclosures mounted on a shared support structure specifically developed for deployment on Fraunhofer IWES Wind Lidar Buoys.
Sharpening floating Lidar measurementsThe campaign provides valuable insights into the operation of different Lidar technologies on the Fraunhofer IWES Wind Lidar Buoy under offshore conditions.
