Design of a Non-scanning Lidar for Wind Velocity and Direction Measurement
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Doppler lidar system for wind velocity and direction measurement is presented. The lidar use a wide field of view (FOV) objective lens as an optical antenna for both beam transmitting and signal receiving. By four fibers coupled on different position on the focal plane, the lidar can implement wind vector measurement without any scanning movement.

Four-wire orthogonal structure for accurate measurement of fluid velocity and wind flow direction using silicon micro-machining on silicon nitride membranes
Microelectromechanical thermal sensors are one of the most accurate and important tools for measuring the direction and velocity of an acoustic wave and winds. Detection of wind direction and speed in different ranges has different applications such as meteorology, wind power plants, gas flow measurement in smart building and gas consumption of power plants. In this paper, a four wires sensor i...
متن کاملDiode laser lidar wind velocity sensor using a liquid-crystal retarder for non-mechanical beam-steering.
We extend the functionality of a low-cost CW diode laser coherent lidar from radial wind speed (scalar) sensing to wind velocity (vector) measurements. Both speed and horizontal direction of the wind at ~80 m remote distance are derived from two successive radial speed estimates by alternately steering the lidar probe beam in two different lines-of-sight (LOS) with a 60° angular separation. Dua...
متن کاملField Measurements of Wind Turbine Wakes with Lidars
Field measurements of the wake flow produced from a 2-MW Enercon E-70 wind turbine were performed using three scanning Doppler wind lidars. A GPS-based technique was used to determine the position of the wind turbine and the wind lidar locations, as well as the direction of the laser beams. The lidars used in this study are characterized by a high spatial resolution of 18 m, which allows the de...
متن کاملLaser scanning of a recirculation zone on the Bolund escarpment
Rapid variations in the height of the recirculation zone are measured with a scanning wind lidar over a small escarpment on the Bolund Peninsula. The lidar is essentially a continuous-wave laser Doppler anemometer with the capability of rapidly changing the focus distance and the beam direction. The instrument measures the line-ofsight velocity 390 times per second and scans ten wind profiles f...
متن کاملStudy of Degradation of Dry Cooling Tower Performance under Wind Conditions and Method for Tower Efficiency Enhancement (RESEARCH NOTE)
Wind affects adversely the cooling tower thermal performance. A field investigation was carried out to study the thermal performance of Heller cooling towers under wind conditions, involving measurement of wind velocity and its direction around the cooling tower, and obtaining water flow rates and temperatures at the cooling tower inlet and outlet. Results show that air suction at the tower top...
