COHERENT DOPPLER WIND LIDAR
Zen Prism develops wind LiDAR systems and wind-field sensing solutions for resource assessment, turbine applications and atmospheric research.
Featured wind LiDAR systems
Start with the deployment: profile the wind from the ground, or measure turbine inflow from the nacelle. Each system below is presented with verified data from its product specification.
Ground-based wind LiDAR
A pulsed coherent Doppler wind LiDAR designed for wind-resource measurement. Enhanced enclosure protection and salt-fog resistance support fixed platforms, buoys and other field deployments, with remote data access over multiple communications options.
Nacelle-mounted wind LiDAR
Four-beam matrix scanning covers the rotor inflow plane and captures three-dimensional wind-field vectors. The system supports yaw correction, load reduction, feed-forward control and wake analysis.
Applications
One sensing foundation supports decisions from early-stage assessment to long-term operation and research.
Profile wind conditions and reduce uncertainty before project development.
Understand shear, veer, terrain effects and turbine inflow conditions.
Support performance testing, yaw assessment and control applications.
Observe boundary-layer flow, wakes and evolving wind fields.
Measurement principle
The idea is simple: send light into the air, listen for the return, read the frequency change and translate it into wind measurements.
An eye-safe laser pulse is directed into the selected air layer.
Aerosols moving with the wind scatter a small part of the light back.
The tiny Doppler frequency change reveals motion along the laser beam.
Multiple measurements become wind speed, direction and a clear wind profile.
