WindCube®: Advanced ground-based lidar for precise wind measurement 

Vaisala’s WindCube® delivers bankable, high-accuracy wind measurements trusted worldwide for wind resource assessment, power performance testing, and research. Equivalent to a very tall met mast, the WindCube measures wind speed, direction, vertical wind speed, and turbulence intensity at up to 20 heights simultaneously without the installation challenges or safety risks of tall towers.

For autonomous and off-grid operation, the WindCube® can be integrated with ART’s premium stand-alone solar power trailers. Designed for rugged terrain, these trailers provide reliable power with industrial-grade solar and battery systems, ensuring uninterrupted wind data collection with remote monitoring via 4G or satellite.

As Vaisala’s exclusive sales and service partner for Australia and New Zealand, ART provides complete deployment, trailer power solutions, and nationwide support for your wind campaign.
