Wind measurement
At VOERAL, we offer comprehensive solutions for wind measurement, combining technical expertise, high-quality equipment, and professional consulting. Whether through measurement towers or remote systems such as LiDAR, we take care of the entire process — from supply and installation to data collection and validation.
We offer turnkey solutions for wind measurement towers, both guy-wired lattice towers and free-standing lattice towers available for purchase and for rental.
At VOERAL, we provide advice on the structure that best suits each site, ensuring the optimal investment for the client.
We assist you in choosing the equipment that best fits the project’s needs, and we supply all the components required for high-precision measurement: data loggers, anemometers, wind vanes, 2D and 3D ultrasonic wind sensors, thermometers, hygrometers, thermo-hygrometers, barometers, vertical wind sensors, rain sensors, autonomous power systems, and any other equipment you may need.
We supply and install sensors with any type of signal: frequency, analogue, or serial RS485 Modbus. The data loggers are configured by our technicians according to the selected sensors and the type of communication preferred by the client: 4G, satellite, or serial (including parameter settings for SCADA systems).
We work with all meteorological sensor manufacturers on the market.
LiDAR
At VOERAL, we offer LiDAR systems — remote measurement technologies based on laser beams that allow measurements to be taken at many locations without the need for on-site construction.
They are particularly suitable for site prospecting before obtaining permits to install towers, and for micrositing campaigns, studying local wind behaviour through correlation with tower data.
We offer autonomous power systems, solar or fuel cell based, as well as accessories for the equipment such as trailers and installation cabinets.
We work with all LiDAR manufacturers, especially the most in-demand on the market: ZX LiDAR and WindCube.
Turnkey Installations
At VOERAL, we offer complete end-to-end wind measurement solutions — we can take care of everything.
We supply measurement towers or remote LiDAR systems complete with all necessary equipment and accessories. Our team manages logistics and oversees full installation — anywhere in the world — including all related civil works such as access roads and foundations .
Once on site, we take full responsibility for commissioning the installation and verifying the operation of all systems, ensuring everything functions flawlessly and assisting the client with any issues that may arise.
Rental
If you need wind data but prefer not to have equipment as fixed assets, VOERAL has the perfect solution — we offer rental of towers and measurement equipment. Whether it is a wind measurement tower or a LiDAR remote sensing system, we have complete rental options that include installation, maintenance, and dismantling.
The rental can include sensors and accessories, as well as complementary equipment such as obstruction lighting, anti-climb systems, power systems, etc.
We offer rental for any period, from one month to several months or even years.
Data Collection
At VOERAL, we offer a complete service for downloading, validating, and periodically delivering data from your wind measurement stations. We make sure that every file arrives on time, is reliable, and meets the standards required by banks, auditors, and consultants.
Our technical team performs:
- Weekly, biweekly, or monthly downloads as required by the client.
- Preliminary quality control (detection of gaps, wrong signals, power or sensor failures).
- Secure forwarding by email or FTP, with files in .csv and .xlsx formats.
- Immediate alerts in case of incidents, to trigger field intervention if necessary.
Wind Energy Services
We maintain and repair all wind measurement equipment and installations, including met masts and remote sensing systems such as LiDAR or SoDAR.
At VOERAL, we offer corrective maintenance services to solve any issue, whether for our own installations or for those belonging to our clients.
We also offer preventive maintenance to keep installations in perfect condition, anticipate potential issues, and avoid unwanted data loss.
Each season, we launch preventive maintenance campaigns under very competitive conditions for our clients.
Consultancy
At VOERAL, we understand the requirements of the leading wind auditors and consultants, and we provide guidance on solutions recognized and accepted by all of them — minimizing uncertainties in future projects.
We also provide advice on the optimal type of installation and equipment for each project, offering multiple alternatives.
We advise on compliance with the IEC 61400 standard for all elements of the installation — sensors, distances, mounts, orientation, etc. — to ensure measurements of the highest quality standard.
