Global renewables developer RES has commissioned a fleet of lidars in Australia to support its plans for wind power development.
New Zealand-based engineering outfit Energy3 supplied the measurement devices, which are made by UK company ZX Lidars.

ZX Lidars provides vertical and horizontal profiling wind lidar to accurately measure wind conditions remotely and ahead of their installed position.
RES development project manager Llion Parry said: “The ZX 300 wind Lidars supplied by ZX Lidars are being used as both a sole wind measurement sensor but also to enhance met mast installations.
“Lidars provide great coverage at a range of measurement heights, combined with their leading accuracy at these remote, often complex sites.”
