Wind Talk: Advancing lidar systems in wind energy

I’m Nic Sharpley, managing editor of Windpower Engineering & Development magazine. Welcome to another edition of Wind Talk, Windpower Engineering’s podcast series that gives you the opportunity to hear from the industry’s newsmakers in their own words.

Evan Osler, NRG Systems’ Business Development Manager – Remote Sensing, joins us to discuss nacelle-based lidar for turbine optimization, its benefits, power curve measurement, and the differences between nacelle-based lidar and ground-based lidar. NRG Systems is a manufacturer of wind measurement systems, including tilt-up towers, instruments, and sensors that measure and analyze wind speed, direction, and other important data.
