Interim Stage2 Type Verification Report of BA-FLS-NX5 (Windcube LiDAR)

We are delighted to share that the first interim Stage 2 type verification report has been delivered by our 3rd-party certifier Oldbaum Services from the UK. The BA-FLS-NX5 buoy was deployed in early March 2023 beside the Inch Cape met mast in Scotland. The system kept a very good health condition even powering dual LiDARs simultaneously for almost three months.

The period of the assessment is 10-03-2023 to 25-05-2023 (77 days). The Windcube LiDAR’s data availability across all heights is above 99.2%. The mean wind speed deviations are within +-0.035m/s, meanwhile, the max wind speeds are with quite low deviations.

The correlations of wind speed (>2m/s and 4-16m/s) and wind direction (>2m/s) all passed the Carbon Trust Stage 2 best practice acceptance thresholds.

The type verification still has over three months to go. But we are confident to see good results in this Sept. based on the performance of the unit and the solid design of the BA-FLS-NX5 model.
