These Lidars are typically used in wind resource assessment, research projects or validation measurements.

TNO is accredited by RvA for IEC 61400-50-2 Wind measurement – Application of ground-mounted remote sensing technology (Registration number: L 324) and TNO has all the tools and working procedures in place to provide reporting according to the IEC 61400-50-2 standard.

Since 2020 TNO performs validation measurements of Floating Lidar Systems (FLS) near Lichteiland Goeree (LEG). More information is available on the TNO website: https://offshorewind-measurements.tno.nl/
