NEXUS OS

LiDAR assisted Optimisation and Monitoring solution 
When the Nexus OS is installed in conjunction with a Windar LiDAR sensors, the Nexus OS can be utilised to:

• Monitor an entire fleet of turbines with LiDAR sensors and collect data in one secure location
• Optimise the turbine fleet’s yawing thanks to the WindTimizer technology
• Provide on-demand and automatic reporting regarding the turbine’s yaw alignment
• Cyber safe fleet and asset management that is installed on-premises without any reliance on modems for remote monitoring or data transfer

Turbine Performance Monitoring (TPM) module for the Nexus OS
The TPM module is an add-on to the Nexus OS, which provides an unparalleled set of highly reliable data that can serve as the backbone for understanding the complex dynamics that affects turbine performance, as well as constituting the foundation for potential optimisation strategies targeting underperforming turbines. 

By measuring the movement of the wind turbine’s rotor with the LiDAR sensor, the Turbine Performance Monitoring module (or TPM module) is able to essentially assess how efficient the turbine is at converting wind into rotational speed, which is the principal performance of a wind turbine generator. By generating RPM-curves for the individual turbine, it is thus possible to compare both the individual turbine with its own historical performance and to furthermore compare the individual turbine’s performance with other turbines in the wind farm, thereby providing a fundamental and quantifiable metric for the performance difference between turbines.

In total, the Nexus OS and TPM-module will provide unbiased wind field data for:

• Wind speed
• Wind direction
• Wake effect intensity
• General turbulence intensity
• Rotational speed
• Air density
