Driverless cars battle the elements
It’s the time of year many motorists dread. Despite the relatively mild temperatures for this time of year, the mercury is slowly starting to drop, meaning the mornings will soon be breaking to the sound of ritual windscreen scrapping to remove the ice from the car – and that’s before it gets on the road.
Development boards help to evaluate 200V GaN transistors
Designed to enable power systems engineers quickly evaluate the efficiency achieved with 200V GaN (gallium nitride) transistors in class-E amplifiers, current-mode class D, and push-pull converters operating up to 30MHz, Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) has released three GaN-based differential mode development boards.
Pulsed laser diode module comes in wavelengths of up to 1550nm
LASER COMPONENTS is delighted to introduce its pulsed laser diode module, the L-CUBE. These modules include our powerful pulsed laser diodes and are available in different wavelengths for example,850nm (up to 10W), 905nm (up to 200W) and 1550nm (up to 40W).
EDF deploys ZephIR Lidar technology
EDF Energy Renewables has successfully deployed wind lidar technology provided by ZephIR Lidar, to optimise site performance at the 144MW Fallago Rig Wind Farm in Scotland. The lidar, a ZephIR DM capable of wind measurements in advance of the turbine, was deployed by EDF ER Asset Management and O&M teams in less than eight hours and was fully operational in just minutes measuring wind data out to 300m in advance of the wind turbine.
Wind lidar is marinised for offshore wind
ZephIR Lidar has announced the release of a fully-marinised wind lidar, ZephIR 300M, for the offshore wind and meteorological industries, founded on the company’s successful and finance-approved remote wind measurement device, ZephIR 300.
Aiding adoption of wind remote sensing technology
A new framework deal has been signed by DNV GL which demonstrates IEC compliance of ZephIR 300 wind lidar as adoption becomes standardised.“DNV GL has been at the forefront of assessing Lidar technology and other remote sensors. The objective of this framework agreement with ZephIR is to further advance the standardised adoption of wind remote sensing technology in the wind industry,” commented Detlef Stein, Global Head of Practice Re...
Infinis chooses ZephIR Lidar to optimise operational site performance
Infinis has announced the adoption of wind lidars from ZephIR Lidar as an alternative to traditional met masts to be deployed on a number of new sites within Infinis’ growing wind energy portfolio.
Driverless cars: The new testing ground for connected tech
Throughout 2015, the development of driverless cars has dominated technology headlines across the UK. Between the futuristic predictions of Elon Musk and the real life road tests of Google’s SDCs (Self-Driving Cars), driverless vehicles are quickly moving from a work of science fiction to a genuine commercial reality.
European funding brings ZephIR 300 wind lidar to Malta
The University of Malta has successfully brought wind lidar technology to the country, with funding from an EU Project. The industry’s single most validated wind lidar, ZephIR 300, will be utilised by the University to assist with Degree programme course delivery and further research within the academic communities based at the University. Furthermore, the high-resolution 50Hz wind data will aid in the prospecting of coastal wind resources.
Wind lidars enable European onshore wind energy applications
Ammonit Measurements has successfully delivered a batch of ZephIR 300 wind lidars to clients across Central Europe for wind measurements in a range of onshore wind energy applications.The clients represent some of the leading development and consulting parties in the region, including AL-PRO, ENOVA Energiesysteme, GEO-NET Umweltconsulting and Nadeva Wind.
