Remote Sensing Verification of LiDAR and SoDAR devices on Austria's highest wind measurement mast
The EWS Testing Center - the accredited testing centre within the EWS Group - operates the highest wind measurement mast in Austria to date with a total height of 200 metres above ground at the EWS test field in Stetteldorf am Wagram, northwest of Vienna.
The wind measurement mast is the centrepiece of the new EWS Wind Test Site for the purpose of LiDAR and SoDAR verification in accordance with international standards. In this "wind laboratory", remote sensing-based wind measurement devices are tested for proper functioning before and after wind measurement campaigns. The EWS test site offers 360° free flow and optimal wind conditions at the site. Verifications at a height of 200 metres correspond to the current state of wind measurement technology and reduce the uncertainties in wind measurement campaigns and subsequently in yield assessments.
The advantages summarised:
- EWS has many years of experience in the verification of RSD devices of various types
- Processing by the accredited test centre EWS Testing Center
- Standard-compliant verification (IEC 61400-50-1 & IEC 61400-50-2)
- Short verification time due to optimal wind climate and unlimited sector availability
- High data availability and precise measurement results
- High accuracy class of the anemometers (Thies Clima First Class Advanced X)
- The maximum reduction of measurement uncertainties at the EWS test field leads to high acceptance of our wind & Yield reports
- Reliable and accredited test reports
- Parallel verification of up to 20 RSD devices
- Low transport costs due to short transport routes
