摘要：At RISØ DTU we has started to build a new-designed laser-based lidar scanning
facility for detailed remote measurements of the wind fields engulfing the huge
wind turbines of today. Our aim is to measure in real-time 3D wind vector data
at several hundred points every second: 1) upstream of the turbine, 2) near the
turbine, and 3) in the wakes of the turbine rotors. Our first proto-type
Windscanner is now being built from three commercially available Continuous Wave
(CW) wind lidars modified with fast adjustable focus length and equipped with
2-D prism-based scan heads, in conjunction with a commercially available pulsed
wind lidar for extended vertical profiling range. Design, construction and
initial testing of the new 3-D wind lidar scanning facility are described and
the functionality of the Windscanner and its potential as a new research
facility within the wind energy community is discussed.
