Wind energy is a renewable and clean energy source. Wind turbines convert wind energy into electrical energy, with higher output power leading to greater power generation. The measurement of wind turbine power curves and power coefficients relies on incoming wind speed and wind direction data, whose accuracy directly determines the precision of tested power curves and power coefficients. In wind energy resource development and application, accurate measurement of meteorological parameters including horizontal wind speed, wind direction, turbulence intensity and wind shear index within wind farms is essential for wind resource assessment and scientific wind farm planning.

The short-range vertical profile wind lidar covers a measurement height range of 15–500 m and typically supports observation at no less than 20 altitude layers. Featuring high precision, high spatiotemporal resolution and flexible deployment, the lidar serves as an ideal technical solution for key wind power scenarios, including wind turbine power characteristic testing, wind power forecasting, unit operation control and management, and wind resource evaluation.
