WindCube 200s Scanning LiDAR

The Vaisala WindCube 200s is a scanning wind Lidar with a range of 6000 m for combined horizontal and vertical scanning and a maximum scanning height of 12000 m in vertical mode. A scanning pattern can be programmed, tailored specifically for the application with a resolution of 25 m, 50 m, 75 m or 100 m and accumulation time 0.1 s to 10 s.

With the WindCube 200s scanning Lidar, TNO can provide 3D wind field measurements for research or site layout studies.

In the TIADE project, a joint research project between TNO (coordinator), LM Wind Power and GE Vernova, TNO has applied the WindCube 200s for a study on yawed inflow conditions. The final report of this project (TNO 2024 R12112, 18 December 2024) is available in the public TNO repository: https://repository.tno.nl/SingleDoc?docId=66629
