WIND MONITORING


INSTALLATION


The installation of the unit was carried out by SgurrEnergy who designed and fabricated the unique support structure which secures the ZephIR device near the top of the lighthouse.


Critically, the design and installation was optimised to reduce time spent offshore to minimise impacts on the lighthouse operation and the structure itself and keep project costs as economically viable as possible. Successful installation was completed safely by a range of specialists under the supervision of SgurrEnergy and the Northern Lighthouse Board.


ENHANCING UNDERSTANDING OF OFFSHORE CONDITIONS


Stephen Kerr, Inch Cape Project Director said: “We are delighted that the ZephIR 300 lidar has been installed safely, on time, and is performing well. Wind data collected from this location will greatly enhance our understanding of the conditions offshore. We have worked closely with the ZephIR team and the Northern Lighthouse Board throughout the design and deployment on this iconic lighthouse and thank all parties for their ongoing support.”


LANDMARK PROJECT Ian Locker, Managing Director: “It is fantastic to see such a landmark project delivering the installation of the original lidar technology, ZephIR 300, with the support and backing of SgurrEnergy, for developer Inch Cape Offshore in this exciting Inch Cape Wind Farm project.


“Offshore, ZephIR is the first choice of lidar with its unique low 10 metre measurements essential when deployed on taller structures such as this lighthouse.


“Further, with no need for annual calibration and an extensive service interval as standard, ZephIR makes perfect sense in applications where lidars need to be left installed for long periods of time such as offshore, mounted on turbines, and for long-term Energy Assessment campaigns onshore.”
