Reference Case of Offshore Wind Measurement (Company D)
Case Study of Offshore Wind Measurement (Company D)
TTC delivered Fuel Cell system and Doppler lidars to commercial offshore wind measurement projects.
Our Fuel Cell has been installed in all three commercial offshore wind measurement projects using offshore met masts and Doppler Lidars, which began in FY2020.
Issues
Wind Measurement by a Doppler Lidar was necessary for the environmental assessment of wind power generation, but there was no system power source for offshore, and the power supply was a problem.
In addition, frequent visits were difficult because charter ships were required up to the installation site.
Solution
A compact and transportable Fuel Cell system ensures stable and long-term power supplies at offshore.
No need for regular maintenance other than refueling, minimizing running cost.
