Windar Photonics A/S

WINDAR PHOTONICS is a Danish manufacturer of nacelle LiDAR sensors, and a leading provider of retrofit Optimisation and Monitoring solutions for wind turbine generators.

Retrofit Optimisation Solution:
By measuring the wind in front of the turbine, the Windar Nacelle LiDAR is able to measure and provide state-of-the-art wind data, which can be used to optimise the yawing of the turbine, thereby increasing energy production and reducing loads at high wind speeds.

• AEP increases of 2-4%
• 20% load reduction at high wind speeds
• Plug and Play integration

NEXUS OS Monitoring Solution
The NEXUS OS is a modular software suite and LiDAR monitoring OS that offers advanced asset monitoring and automatic reporting regarding the performance of the turbine, where the LiDAR sensor is installed.

The NEXUS can likewise be deployed as a fleet managing system, which collects data from the fleet of Windar LiDAR sensor equipped turbines and stores it in a single cyber safe and on-premises location.

NEXUS TPM module for the NEXUS OS
The Turbine Performance Monitoring (TPM) module is an add-on module for the NEXUS OS that provides the asset owner precise and unique tracking of the performance of wind turbine generators that is entirely independent from SCADA or OEM data.

The TPM-module provides unbiased wind field data regarding:

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