Offshore wind energy is gaining significance around the world as the most suitable source of renewable energy. India, blessed with 7500 km of coastline has already announced the offshore wind energy policy based on feasibility studies for offshore wind potential. National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) and M/s Suzlon Energy Limited have installed first LiDAR-based offshore measurement platform with the technical expertise of the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT), MoES in the Gulf of Khambhat and the Gulf of Kachchh. This article illustrates the analysis, design methodology and various innovative strategies involved in the installation of LiDAR-based measurement platforms.

Abstract


Offshore wind energy is gaining significance around the world as the most suitable source of renewable energy. India, blessed with 7500 km of coastline has already announced the offshore wind energy policy based on feasibility studies for offshore wind potential. National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) and M/s Suzlon Energy Limited have installed first LiDAR-based offshore measurement platform with the technical expertise of the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT), MoES in the Gulf of Khambhat and the Gulf of Kachchh. This article illustrates the analysis, design methodology and various innovative strategies involved in the installation of LiDAR-based measurement platforms.
