EOLOS LiDAR with ZephIR 300 on course for success at Ijmuiden trial, following award success with EIT.

EOLOS LiDAR has won the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) Innovators Award at the InnovEIT conference being held in Budapest in recognition of the product's potential to have a significant societal and economic impact.

Rajai Aghabi, Founder of EOLOS Floating Lidar Solutions, says: "We are very pleased that EOLOS has been recognised by these awards for being the best in innovation to advancing sustainable growth and competitiveness in the field of sustainable energy. Since foundation of the project, it has been my real desire to ensure that this business really embodies these core blocks. With the support from ZephIR Lidar we deliver a truly innovative product to the field of offshore wind energy."

The EOLOS FLS200, a floating platform, features the industry-leading wind lidar solution ZephIR 300, to deliver accurate, bankable metocean data for offshore wind farm planning, development and operation at a fraction of the cost of traditional offshore met masts.

EOLOS and ZephIR are currently on trial at ECN's Ijmuiden offshore met mast with early performance being demonstrated that will meet all KPIs within the Carbon Trust Roadmap for commercial acceptance of floating wind lidar.

The Barcelona-based business was set up when founder Rajai Aghabi identified that there was a need to develop a more cost-effective way to measure wind speed at prospective off-shore sites for wind farms. The business was selected by KIC InnoEnergy to go through their Highway Business Creation programme, which provides tailored support, funding and access to partners across the European energy eco-system.

EOLOS selected ZephIR 300 wind lidar for this project due to unique high-resolution wind data collected by continuous wave lidars and unique to ZephIR, and its ability to operate for extended periods of time offshore with no need for annual servicing or re-calibration within warranty periods.

Matt Smith, responsible for ZephIR's offshore commercial offerings noted: "It has been a pleasure to work with the development of this product which has combined scientific and engineering rigour to deliver an accurate and practical wind measurement tool. We can expect excellent results from this trial and we look forward to being a part of EOLOS's continued success."

North Kingstown, R.I. (UPI) May 19, 2015
A Rhode Island company will be the first of its kind to build a vessel to support the development of the inaugural U.S. offshore wind farm, planners said. Rhode Island Fast Ferry was contracted by developer Deepwater Wind to build a vessel and design the training for crew transfer. The ferry company will invest more than $4 million and employ more than 70 workers to build the vessel. ... read more
