LIDAR WIND MEASUREMENT

Our solution in remote sensing contain build-in Lidar with autonomous power supply allowing

unmanned automatic operation on remote locations.

The complete system is equipped with remote

communication allowing supervision of both the wind

data and the power supply. Through the WEB, the

system is full time online.

Built into the cargo trailer, the Lidar is well protected.

Further, inside the container is found the battery

bank, controllers and a diesel backup, should the solar

and wind generator fail to charge the batteries.

Thus, the environment inside the container offers

great comfort for both equipment and personnel

working on the unit.

Inside the container, the diesel generator operates autonomous by the controller from Deep Sea

Electronics allowing both manual and

WEB based remote operation. The

controller monitors the conditions of the

battery bank and should the solar and

wind generator not be able to maintain

adequate voltage level, the diesel

generator will start up and charge the

batteries.

The diesel tank contain 75 litres of diesel

allowing long time autonomous

operation of the system. Below the diesel

elevation bench, a compartment can be

used for engine oil.

The four 6Volt GEL batteries, supplying

24VDC to the system, are built into an airtight isolated aluminium container, which also allow

room for tools, manuals and other equipment that need protection from humidity.

When the diesel generator operates, the batteries are

charged and maintained by an intelligent charger by

up to 60 Amps.

Next to the charger an inverter, supply a 230VAC

socket for up to 1000W pure sine curve.

The battery bank voltage may

vary in voltage depending on the

charge level. However, the supply

for the Lidar is maintained fixed

at 24,5 VDC by a stable DC/DC

inverter.

The Lidar is imbedded into the container roof. The picture below presents the Lidar next to a

GPS antenna on which adjustable rod an IP Camera is attached. This camera can be used as

theft protection as it has a PIR sensor build in which register movement in front of the lenses

and takes a photo (or video) of what is in front of it. When a picture is taken, immediately it is

forwarded with an e-mail to the operator. The camera can also take a picture of the surface of

the Lidar so the operator can see if the sensor surface is free and uncovered and the wiper is

working properly.

Behind the Lidar, the fan box is

mounted. When the diesel generator

operates, the fan is engaged. The fan

box has its outlet pointing toward the Lidar in level with the Lidar’s surface, thus when

running, warm air is blown over the Lidar’s sensor plate keeping it free of ice, snow or leaves

etc.

Attached to the fan box the meteorological sensor that follow the Lidar is found.

The Lidar is fixed to the container roof

allowing the personnel operation and

connection of Laptop computers etc.

comfortly at standing height.

Besides the Lidar the external sprinkler

tank is found. This contain 15 litres of

sprinkler fluid to maintain the level of the

internal reservoir.

Adjusting the Lidar:

The Lidar is adjusted to a fixed angle related to the trailer, so that levelling the trailer

correctly will same time level the Lidar correctly. The trailer is held in a backward angle

allowing water to run off the roof and interior.

Levelling the trailer is done by adjusting four legs in each corner of the trailer.

A spirit leveller inside the trailer box indicates when the correct level is reached.

Remote control and supervision

Both the Lidar and the power supply can be supervised remotely via the Internet.

Below the SpiDAR CCU provides a detailed view of the measured data online.

Vital informations like voltage on the battery bank, fuel level on the diesel tank, temperature

and if in operation, also the conditions of the diesel generator.

The diesel generator can be operated for Manual and Automatic operation.

Each analog instrument can present historical values on graphs or exported as ascii files for

Excel etc.

An event list and alarm list is also presented remotely.

Besides the Lidar’s GPS, the DSE Webnet system is equipped with a GPS that present the

current location on a map. Thus, two redundant GPS systems presents the location of the

equipment.

An APP for smart phones is available and enables supervision and operation of the power

system.
