Measnet, the International Network of Wind Energy Measurement Institutes, has released the Ground-Based Lidar Verification Procedure, the result of months of dedicated work by its Expert Group on Remote Sensing.
This approach provides the basis for a common interpretation and understanding in accordance with the Measnet Quality Evaluation Program. It introduces detailed technical guidance for the implementation of ground-based Lidar validation, including the interpretation of key technical aspects and additional requirements.
In addition, it presents a structured methodology for evaluating proficiency test results, strengthening consistency across verification activities.
Furthermore, the framework defines critical technical specifications in two core areas of lidar verification: data processing methodologies and uncertainty calculation.
“This procedure represents a major step forward in ground-based lidar verification,” said Fu Devi, Measnet Remote Sensing Expert Group coordinator. “Remote sensing is currently one of the most dynamic and relevant fields in the wind-energy sector, and this work helps set a new benchmark for quality and consistency.”
Measnet, the International Network of Wind Energy Measurement Institutes, is a non-profit organization of accredited testing and technical service providers engaged in the field of wind energy.
