2.2 WindCube, Vertical Profiler Lidar

2.2.1 Lidar general principles
Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing technology using laser beams to
measure the wind speed and direction.
Based on pulsed Doppler heterodyne laser principle, the Lidar sends a light pulse at high
frequency in the atmosphere and observe the signal backscattered by aerosols naturally
present in the air.
The time between the pulse and the detection of the backscattered signal is processed by
the system thanks to the Doppler effect and provides an accurate measure of the wind
speed and direction. This measure is based on a physical constant of high accuracy: light
speed.
2.2.2 Advantages of Pulsed Lidar technology

Pulsed Lidars send Laser pulses at a very high frequency: tenths of thousand pulses are sent
within 1s. Light pulses are backscattered by aerosols and, from those received, Doppler shift
is analyzed much before next Laser pulse is emitted. This avoids confusing time delays and
distances. Therefore, probe distance, or height, only depends on the time it takes for a pulse
to be received after it has been emitted.
Several technical advantages arise from Pulsed Lidar technology:
1. Multiple heights are measured simultaneously
6 RESTRICTED
• A complete wind profile is measured within the same time in 1s: the shear profile is
“frozen” and accurately captured.
• More measurement heights does not impact the duration of measurement: a detailed
wind profile is captured with no compromise on temporal resolution and thereby no
decrease of accuracy nor data availability.
2. Spatial resolution is constant through the entire wind profile

• Constant probe volume of atmosphere leads to constant accuracy at all heights.
• Probe volume does not increase with measurement height: higher measurement ranges
are possible.
3. Measurement is not affected by clouds, fog or high density of dust and sand particles,
nor obstacles
• For Pulsed Lidars, only atmospheric conditions at measurement heights matter:
measurement accuracy is not affected by light backscattered from other atmospheric
layers. At one measurement height, “door is closed” to atmospheric conditions of any
other layer.
• Measurement accuracy of Pulsed Lidars is therefore not sensitive to weather conditions
or to varying density of aerosol layers. Pulsed Lidars maintain same accuracy under
clear sky or presence of fog.
4. Pulsed Lidars directly measure accurately and unambiguously wind direction

• Pulsed Lidars accurately measure direction of each wind speed over the full 0-360°
range.
• This ensures an accurate wind rose evaluation for a wind project, which is critical to
design a wind farm and evaluate the project finance with the highest accuracy.
5. Pulsed Lidars can use a reasonable number of beams arranged within a flexible pattern
• A vertical beam is possible.
• Vertical beam provides a direct measurement of vertical wind speed, as well as serve
advanced wind processing in complex terrain, or advanced techniques for Turbulence
Intensity for instance.
6. Data recovery from Pulsed Lidars is not sensitive to wind conditions like shear and
turbulence intensity
• Although measurement availability is impacted by very low aerosol density (this is the
case for all Lidar types), data recovery of Pulsed Lidars is however not sensitive to wind
conditions like shear or turbulence intensity thanks to its large Doppler spectra.
• Data recovery is therefore more stable and not sensitive to wind conditions which
reduces the risk to bias the Energy Yield Assessment, and also easier to predict with
simulation tools developed by Leosphere.
RESTRICTED 7
2.2.3 WindCube measurement principle

WindCube Lidar is used for wind profile measurement from 40 meters to 300 meters. Four
beams are sent successively in four cardinal directions along a 28° scanning cone angle,
followed by a fifth, vertical beam. Up to 20 different range gates can simultaneously be
measured using the laser pulse time of flight.
WindCube has been designed for ground-based applications for onshore environments.
Offshore environments are also punctually possible but we recommend using our WindCube
Offshore product version for full offshore usage.
2.3 Applications
The WindCube now provides a 300 meters wind profile with 20 independently configurable
measurement heights while being easy and quick to deploy or move. Such features allow its
use for several applications at all stages of your wind energy project. More than 1000
WindCube Lidars are used globally today for wind resource and wind turbine performance
assessment.
2.3.1 Wind resource assessment

Precise and reliable wind resource measurements are critical for developers to increase
project value. The profitability of a wind farm directly depends on uncertainty reduction
during the wind resource assessment and wind turbine optimization phases. These
measurements provide the essential data used to calculate the potential energy yield from a
project, which in turns dedicates the terms of the project financing.
8 RESTRICTED
Onshore, in standalone or in combination with traditional anemometry, a mobile Lidar

collecting continuously 300 meters wind profile data is ideal to better characterize the wind
resource and reduce project risk. By providing bankable data to investors and owners, the
WindCube can make the difference between project success and failure.
On a wind farm project, uncertainty reduction can mean millions in equity investment
savings and a significant increase in the rate of return. This makes the WindCube Lidar
remote sensor a quantifiably valuable asset for developers, consultants, wind farm owners
and operators.
For offshore wind farms located further away, the WindCube allows to measure accurately
the wind on stable platforms located several kilometers from the shore. In case of absence
of platform, the measurement with a Lidar installed on a buoy, is the most effective way of
performing a cost-effective wind resource assessment.
2.3.2 Power performance testing

In order to assess the performance of a wind turbine, power curve measurements are usually
performed. It allows measuring the correlation between the wind speed and the output
power of the turbine and to compare this measurement to the contractual power curve.
Lidars are the equipment of choice for such measurement as it measures very accurately
and along all the rotor the wind speed and wind direction. The low uncertainty of WindCube
wind speed measurement translates directly into a low power curve uncertainty and a low
AEP uncertainty.
2.4 Standards, guidelines and current

industry practices
Following a long process of validations and proofs, the WindCube is accepted by all experts
and various international standards and industrial guidelines already approve its use for
different applications and terrains, in standalone or in complement of a met mast. Moreover,
the WindCube has achieved full IEC 61400-12-1 Ed.2. 2017 compliance with independent
third-party classifications.
Below is an overview of the most important existing practices used by WindCube users for
bankable projects and contractual performance verifications. The table is summarizing
which applications each standard is made for and its status. Of course, there are links
between pre and post construction use: for example, IEC 61400-12-1 Ed.2. 2017 guidelines for
power performance tests are already influencing wind resource assessment practices:

2.4.1 IEC 61400-15 (in progress)

The scope of this forthcoming standard is to define a framework for assessment and
reporting of the wind resource, energy yield and site suitability input conditions for both
onshore and offshore wind power plants.
The framework will be defined such that applicable national norms are considered and
industry best practices are used.
2.4.2 IEC 61400-12-1 Ed.2. 2017

IEC standard recommends the use of remote sensors to measure the performances of a
wind turbine generator. The WindCube is a fully representative device able to characterize
the turbine efficiency at the wind farms. The standard set up some rules in order to perform
such analysis mimicking the role of an IEC met mast.
• Hub height wind speed is measured with WindCube and a small met mast (40 meters)
allowing monitoring wind speed at low height.
• Measurement of shear and/or veer from multiple range gate of WindCube allows
deriving the Rotor Equivalent Wind speed and gets less uncertainty in performances
measurement.
• All environmental variables such as Turbine Intensity can be measured with the
WindCube and performances are normalized.
2.4.3 IEA Wind recommends Lidar use for WRA

IEA considers that “The deployment of remote sensing may provide wind project developers
with useful information that can be used to reduce the costs associated with wind data
collection at heights greater than can be achieved using traditional monitoring towers”.
To standardize the use of remote sensors and especially the WindCube, IEA standard
describes a set of recommended practices for the use of WindCube which makes its use as
standard to perform wind resource assessment.
10 RESTRICTED
2.4.4 FGW Technical Guidelines for Wind Turbine PART 6:

Determination of Wind Potential and Energy Yield.
Revision 9 (23/04/2015)
Known as TR6, the German guideline recommends the use of standalone Lidar either in
simple or complex terrain for wind resource assessment projects and sets out some rules
regarding the measuring range and data availability. According to TR6, measurements need
to be performed at 2/3 of the supposed turbine hub-height and register very good
availability. It was demonstrated that the WindCube is entirely compliant with those
requirements as it measures at high distances (up to 300 meters) and register very good
availability for heights under 200 meters.
Based on this evidence, the TR6 guideline agrees that the device can entirely replace a met
mast in simple and complex terrains. For the latter, as the wind flow could induce errors in
Lidar wind speed reconstruction algorithm, an embedded flow correction model such as
FCR (Flow Complexity Recognition) is required and fully validated by TR6.
2.4.5 Measnet: evaluation of site-specific wind conditions.

Version 2. April 2016
Measnet standard agrees on the proved technology of remote sensing devices and its
growing performance to fully answer wind resource assessment projects expectations
regarding costs, risks reduction and bankability: “… remote sensing technique like Lidar and
SODAR have reached a stage, where they can be considered as supplement or as alternative
to mast measurement in many case”.
In simple terrain, the WindCube can be used in standalone if the device was calibrated
against an IEC met mast prior to the campaign. For complex terrains, the standard requires
the use of Lidar next to a short met mast (40 meters) and also validates the use of FCR
(Flow Complexity Recognition). Following these recommendations, the WindCube answers
every type of wind resource assessment analysis from standalone measurement to vertical
and horizontal extrapolation.
2.4.6 DNV GL Stage 3 Position statement

DNV-GL developed a position statement regarding remote sensors devices indicating the
amount of validation required in order to rely on data for energy assessment projects.
According to DNV-GL, the WindCube is stage 3 (the highest level) for simple terrain
measurements: “a device (here the WindCube) is considered proven for use in the
assessment of wind farms sites. The data may be used quantitatively within formal wind
speed and energy assessments with only limited or no site-specific validation against
conventional anemometry”.
For complex flow, the WindCube is deemed to be stage 2: “Confidence is gained that the
device provides robust, continuous and accurate data over the full spectrum of operational
conditions. Alternatively, specific conditions where the device does not provide robust data
become well understood and can be excluded from analyses”.
RESTRICTED 11
2.4.7 Ecofys position on Lidar use

Ecofys recommends the use of Lidar in the following configurations to improve bankability
for better financing terms and reduced project risks.
• Standalone Lidar – in simple terrain the Lidar can entirely replace a met mast for wind
resource assessment. It can also be used to characterize a site for instance evaluating
the wind shear around forests.
• Lidar next to a short met mast – a cost-effective solution to evaluate the wind shear
and extrapolate wind speeds at hub height.
• Lidar moved around the site complementing an on-site met mast – this helps to reduce
the uncertainty in flow modeling. Also, shorter campaigns spread throughout the year
help reducing seasonal effects.

3.3.3 WindCube measurements in complex terrain with the

embedded FCR module
As any remote sensor, standard WindCube wind reconstruction assumes flow homogeneity
across the volume of measurement. In complex terrain, this assumption is no longer valid
and measurements are inaccurate. To tackle this problem, Leosphere has developed a
method allowing capturing flow inhomogeneity and obtaining accurate measurements in
complex flow conditions.
Integrated within the WindCube, the FCR is an algorithm which associates the 10 minute
average measurement of the WindCube with fluid mechanics equations in order to
determine the wind velocity (ie wind speed and wind direction) for a given terrain
topography. It embeds a 3D wind field model for complex terrain which has been configured
to produce a mass consistent wind field using data from the WindCube.
It requires two types of data to be retrieved automatically:
• Site topography: the FCR uses corresponding topographic tiles from the embedded
Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) or Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission
and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) public database based on the configured GPS
input. The database contains the terrain elevation at a 100 meter resolution for a 1 km*1
km square, downscaled at a 10 meter resolution.
• Wind measurements: wind speed and wind direction at several heights at a single
location as measured by the WindCube standard wind reconstruction.
The FCR approach has achieved broad acceptance. Its performances have been proven on
moderately complex terrain and forested terrain. The solution has been tested and validated
by independent industry experts around the globe. FCR acceptance is effective: the German
TR6 guideline accept its use without mast for moderately complex terrain.
The FCR algorithm relies on a patented technology.

3.12 Golden Validation by DNV

Every WindCube is tested and validated against a reference WindCube Lidar “Golden
WindCube” during the manufacturing phase and after each preventive maintenance and
repairs. These process and validation criteria applied ensure each unit is performing
nominally with a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. A validation report is delivered
with each LIDAR System.
Starting from early 2021, this Lidar-to-Lidar data validation will also be conducted on each
unit by DNV and a factory certificate called “Golden Validation by DNV” will be delivered.
This third-party validation ensures that the highest level of quality is performed before
releasing WindCube to customers.
3.13 Third Party IEC Compliant validation

As an additional service, a WindCube can be fully IEC Compliant validated by a third-party
including but not limited to DNV, Deutsche WindGuard, DTU or UL. These independent wind
specialists are accredited to certify the measurement quality and traceability to National
Standards of a WindCube.
A validation report, which includes an assessment of measurement uncertainties, is issued
by the certifier and is transmitted to the client along with the LIDAR System. Criteria are set
out by the independent third party so no specification of the Client will be taken into
account.
RESTRICTED 19
Validation sites and conditions may vary from one third-party to another. Further
information about the available validation sites and service terms can be provided upon
request.
Leosphere is not responsible for the execution of such service, its duration and regarding
any deterioration that could occur during the carrying out of this service. Furthermore, such
service shall not extend the Warranty Period, meaning that, the Warranty starts at
availability / delivery to such third party. It is understood that LEOSPHERE has no power in
the choice of the location where such service will be provided. Therefore, it could take place
either in the premises of the independent service provider or in any other place that it
designates as appropriate.
In the event the independent third party express any reservation on the validation of the
LIDAR System, LEOSPHERE commits to mitigate to those reservations under the conditions
stipulated in the Technical Support and Service Information document. In the event that,
following subscription by the Client of a certification service provided by an independent
third party, such service is executed, the LIDAR System subject to the certification process
shall be deemed as delivered to the Client as for the date of its reception by the
independent third party.
3.14 Delivery of an IEC Compliant pre-

validated WindCube
Starting third quarter of 2021, Leosphere now proposes as an option IEC Compliant pre-
validated WindCubes thanks to a new process implemented with DNV. By holding a stock of
DNV validated laser chains, Leosphere is now able to supply Third-party validated
WindCubes with a very short Lead-time. The full validation report from DNV will be supplied
along with the LIDAR System.
3.15 IEC Compliant validation continuity

warranty
Repairs that impact the Lidar measurement chain usually voids the initial third party IEC
compliant validation of the WindCube. Leosphere continuity warranty option enables
customers to avoid having to do the third-party validation again. This fast-track service is
conducted thanks to a unique and exclusive process of DNV Compliant validated Laser chain
swap. This offer significantly improves the operational continuity linked to re-certification
process and saves customers up to two months in their Wind Resource Assessment or
Power Performance test campaigns.
