ZephIR wind lidar has successfully operated through Canadian winters and Australian summers. Customers have financed projects using ZephIR data. Banks’ Engineers recommend ZephIR onshore and offshore to both complement and replace traditional masts. This is how we do it:
* 10m to 200m wind profile – speed, direction, turbulence
* Speed accuracy* < 0.5%
* Direction accuracy* < 0.5°
* 50 data points per second
* – 25°C to + 40°C operation (extendable operating range)
* 100W average power draw**
* + 5 years experience in the field
* Industry approved calibration
* Accepted by Banks’ Engineers
* One-man portable pods
