Final Results of Catch the Wind's Vindicator Laser Wind Sensor Trial Program with Nebraska Public Power District Released

Catch the Wind Ltd. had undertaken a field trial program for its Vindicator(R) Laser Wind Sensor (LWS) with Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD). The final results of the trial have been released by Catch the Wind. The results clearly established the efficiency of the Vindicator LWS system. This system detects strong currents of wind and aligns the wind energy system to achieve maximum utilization in such a scenario. The energy output of a turbine fitted with Vindicator was seen to increase by an average of 12.3% due to the alignment.
