In the eye of the storm
Canadian AXYS Technologies Inc (AXYS) was pleased to announce the EDP Inovação (EDPi) WindSentinel floating LiDAR system survived a major storm that ravaged the coast of Portgual near Viana do Castelo.
“This incident demonstrates the capacity of the WindSentinel to maintain performance during periods of extreme weather conditions,” said Terry Tarle, CEO of AXYS Technologies. “The WindSentinel has continued to live up to its design specifications and collect wind resource assessment data during long-term deployments in extremely hostile marine environments.”
A similar event occurred when Hurricane Sandy hit the WindSentinel deployed on Lake Michigan in 2012. Similarly the WindSentinel ran continuously with 100% data collection and performance through gusts of 107 km/hr winds and 10 metre waves.
AXYS Technologies, Inc. designs, manufactures, distributes and maintains remote environmental data acquisition, processing and telemetry systems.
