Galion Lidar G6000

The Galion lidar remote sensing device provides wind farm developers with powerful options for assessing wind resources at proposed or operational wind farm sites.

The Galion lidar product range, developed by Wood, can conduct advanced wind flow profiling of complex wind conditions that impact project performance and asset reliability.

With over 15 years of experience operating Galion in onshore and offshore wind energy applications, we have applied our engineering knowledge to design, develop and manufacture a new scanning lidar device.

Galion G6000

The Galion G6000 is our latest model of pulsed Doppler lidar for wind energy applications.

Applications

The G6000 is designed for use in onshore, offshore and extreme climatic environments, as well as for scanning in forested and complex terrains.

This lidar system is well suited for measuring and visualising wind turbine inflow and wake regions, and for performing power curve testing measurements.

Advantages

The G6000 includes significant enhancements to improve the end-user experience and project outcomes.

Increased range capability up to 6,000 m
Faster scan and data acquisition time
High data availability providing versatile all-sky 3D visualisation of wind flow
