In a carefully chosen location near a Marine Protected Area (MPA) off the southern coast of South Africa, CLS\u2019s DeepCLiDAR floating LiDAR system has been continuously collecting atmospheric and metocean data for over 7 months and delivering remarkably high-quality outputs through intense and rapidly shifting wind regimes.<\/p>\n

Robust Wind Profiling, Confirmed by Data<\/h2>\n

The campaign dataset reveals consistently strong wind conditions across all measured altitudes, with time series data from 38 m, 118 m, and 198 m shown below. Horizontal wind speeds frequently exceeding 20\u201325 m\/s, and even approaching 30 m\/s during peak events.<\/p>\n

Overall System Availability (OSACA) exceeded 99,9% and Overall Post-processed Data Availability (OPDACA) reached over 96.6%, confirming DeepCLiDAR\u2019s resilience in real-world offshore conditions.<\/p>\n

Such high data return rates are crucial for investment-grade resource assessment, especially when validating wind regimes in high-variability zones where turbine performance modeling and fatigue load estimation are particularly sensitive to data continuity and resolution.<\/p>\n

Validation of Turbulence Intensity Capability<\/h2>\n

This campaign is also serving as a testbed for CLS\u2019s new turbulence intensity (TI) methodology, developed in partnership with our U.S. subsidiary Woods Hole Group<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TI is crucial for turbine design and structural fatigue assessment, annual energy production (AEP) modeling, and wake effect management.<\/p>\n
