One of the main problems both in planning and running a wind farm is knowing where the wind will come from and how strong it will be. Pentalum thinks they have the solution.
Pentalum Technologies Ltd have raised an additional $9 million from three venture capital fund, the Israeli business daily Globes is reporting.
The company has developed what they call a SpiDARTM: “a revolutionary, cost effective, patent pending, Lidar system, for remote sensing of wind.
“The system targets all three main wind farm applications: wind resource assessment, wind farm operation optimization and wind forecasting.”
LIDAR stands for light detection and ranging and the technology is used for establishing the range as well as other information of a target by using laser pulses.
When used in the wind power industry to measure the oncoming horizontal winds the system proactively adjust the blades to both increase power and to protect the rotor from damaged caused by excessive winds.
