India : Windar Photonics wins public tender from Indian National Institute of Wind Energy
Publish Date : 02-Jan-2017
AIM-listed wind energy firm Windar Photonics has emerged as the winner of a public tender from the Indian National Institute of Wind Energy, a research centre for a multi-beam Lidar system.
A developer of lidar wind sensors for use on electric wind turbines, the company, said the Lidar systems will be installed in Q1-2017 on a wind turbine produced by an Indian original equipment manufacturer with the aim of optimizing the turbine.
The Lidar system will allow the wind turbine to yaw and pitch according to the oncoming wind, raising the power produced by nearly 1-4% per year and will also prolong life of the wind turbine.
Working under the Indian government's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, the institute, carries out research on wind turbine technology, resource assessment, and verifies wind turbine technology according to standards set by the International Electrotechnical Commission, a non-governmental body based in Geneva.
It also accredits wind turbine technology for the Indian market by guaranteeing compatibility between the meteorological conditions in the country, with technologies that have been developed and certified for other regions.
Jorgen Korsgaard Jensen, interim chief executive, stated: "The order from the Indian National Institute of Wind Energy is another positive development for Windar Photonics in the Indian market, as the Indian National Institute of Wind Energy is a well-respected institution within the Indian wind energy industry. The expected verification by the Indian National Institute of Wind Energy of our Lidar systems is an important step forward, supporting our future business in India."
