EOLOS buoy validated
Floating LIDAR systems offer a much cheaper alternative to evaluating wind farm sites than establishing a fixed measuring station. German renewables developer RWE Innogy, in partnership with the operator of the Eneco Luchterduinen offshore wind farm, has successfully completed the trial of such a buoy by mooring it in close proximity to the Ijmuiden MET mast that has been established off the Dutch coast to provide a fixed reference wind measuring point.
