Wind Tech4Good with CLS DeepCLiDAR for Offshore Wind Assessment

Tech4Good initiatives often aim at using technology to enhance environmental sustainability, including solutions for renewable energy projects like wind power.

At CLS, as part of this larger movement, we leverage technology to advance wind energy projects in ways that directly benefits the offshore wind industry while serving society as a whole and the environment.

The main challenge is energy transition

Switching to renewable energy is not a choice—it’s a necessity. Offshore wind offers huge potential, but its development must be managed responsibly to safeguard marine ecosystems and the livelihoods of coastal communities.

Fostering ecological sustainability and enhancing biodiversity are crucial when implementing offshore renewable energy projects.

At CLS, we offer expertise on restoring and improving ecosystems during project development.

Securing a sustainable energy future isn’t merely challenging—it’s an essential requirement that necessitates immediate and decisive investment and action.

Mastering offshore wind innovation: CLS’s strategic leadership

 CLS goes beyond offering solutions; we deliver cutting-edge, data-driven tools crucial for making critical, informed decisions. Our floating DeepCLiDAR stands out by providing exceptional accuracy in measuring offshore wind conditions. This allows wind stakeholders to strategically place turbines for optimal efficiency and power output, while greatly minimizing operational risks. Additionally, our SARWind service offers high-resolution, real-time wind field analysis, empowering operators to continuously enhance energy production.

With the DeepCLiDAR Stage 2 Carbon Trust certification, CLS is now the sole global provider of integrated solutions combining in-situ measurements, radar satellite technology, and high-resolution modeling for the offshore wind industry. This milestone enables us to offer a unique, all-encompassing, and highly accurate wind resource measurement and energy assessment solution. By integrating DeepCLiDAR’s innovation with extensive in-situ metocean data, satellite radar observations, data analysis, and high-resolution wind field modeling, our SARWind service provides a distinctive suite of offerings for offshore wind resource assessment.

How CLS is championing environmental protection

At CLS, environmental protection is our core focus. Our Ecosystem Assessment offers real-time monitoring of marine ecosystems, crucial for large-scale offshore wind projects. Our Base Lines solution provides essential data to track and safeguard environmental changes. This is vital for preserving biodiversity and supporting coastal communities who depends on marine resources.

As an example, our DeepCLiDAR is equipped with environmental sensors for monitoring bird and bat acoustics.

2024: A landmark Year for CLS’s Cutting-Edge Advancements

CLS has set up a production plant for DeepCLiDAR in Cape Town, within the premises of our CLS Southern Africa subsidiary. This is an essential step towards achieving self-sufficiency in production capacity, boosting output and guaranteeing first-rate solutions at competitive prices.

CLS Group combines its global reach with expert site-specific metocean data collection, supported by internationally recognized specialists. Operating across five continents—Europe, the USA, South Africa, Australia, Brazil, and Indonesia—we provide efficient, agile, and sustainable wind resource assessment solutions. Our decentralized operations offer flexibility in deployments while upholding a strong commitment to sustainability.

Combining short-term LiDAR measurements with long-term satellite observations provides the most advanced and effective approach for precise offshore wind resource assessment. Leveraging over 30 years of expertise in the offshore energy sector, we now offer a unique and highly accurate range of services tailored to the offshore wind community, addressing the needs and challenges of this crucial phase in the transition to decarbonized energy.
