The North Sea plays a key role in the transformation to meet the European offshore wind plans of 75 GW by 2030. In the Netherlands, the national government aims to develop an offshore wind portfolio of at least 11.5 GW by 2030 corresponding to the 40% of the current electricity consumption. In 2020, the strongest […]

Remote Sensing Devices have emerged in the last years as a promising alternative to anemometers in masts, since they are typically quicker and easier to deploy, avoiding the drawn-out planning consent process to construct a tall meteorological mast. LiDARs/RSD also have the potential to reduce costs and time taken for turbine type certification and site […]

In order to better understand the wind conditions at the North Sea for future offshore wind farms a ZX Lidars ZX300M LiDAR was installed at the K13-a platform of Wintershall Noordzee B.V. in 2016. This report describes the background of the measurement campaign, the platform itself, the used LiDAR system, data sources and operational aspects. […]

TNO recently published the results of the long-term measurement campaign for the period 2016-2019 for K13a. These results will be of great value for future offshore wind energy developments in the North Sea. Accurate and long term meteorological measurements are crucial for the feasibility, wind site of the plant valuation and for the financial decision […]
