This is a 3D model of the floating LiDAR buoy, an advanced offshore instrument used to measure wind speeds and gather valuable data for assessing the potential of offshore wind energy projects. These buoys are equipped with LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology, which uses laser pulses to accurately measure wind characteristics at different heights above the ocean surface. The buoy’s floating design allows it to be deployed in deep waters, providing crucial wind data for offshore wind farm developments without the need for fixed structures. Floating LiDAR buoys play a significant role in optimizing wind farm layouts and ensuring efficient and sustainable harnessing of offshore wind resources.
