Wind speed at light speed: wind lidars for renewable energy development
About us
ZX Lidars (formerly ZephIR Lidar) provides hub height and turbine mounted wind measurements for wind energy and meteorological applications onshore and offshore with leading wind Lidar products, ZX 300, ZX 300M and ZX TM. With more than 10 million hours of operation in the field and over 1000 deployments (and counting) we have pioneered the use of Lidar in the wind industry, with many world firsts including upwind measurements from a turbine nacelle, turbine wake studies, offshore deployments both fixed and floating, an industry-accepted validation process, re-financing and re-powering a wind farm, technology accuracy demonstration in a wind tunnel and total project financing. ZX 300 is used for remote wind profiling extensively through the pre-planning / scoping, planning, development, construction and operational phases of a wind energy project in combination with short met masts and tall met masts and associated cup anemometers, roaming during site-prospecting, stand-alone in replacement of a met mast and as a fixed reference control mast. ZX 300M takes your wind measurements offshore both of fixed and floating platforms - it is the industry standard Lidar offshore available on all commercial floating platforms and suitable for integration in all fixed platforms. ZX TM is mounted in the spinner / on the nacelle or hub of a wind turbine generator in horizontal mode for yaw misalignment, turbine calibrations, End of Warranty inspections, power curve measurements (absolute and relative), R&D projects and full turbine control. Each and every system is validated either at the IEC compliant UK Remote Sensing Test Site or against a Golden Lidar both in accordance to a industry-accepted process. DNV GL considers ZX 300 and ZX 300M accepted for use in bankable / finance-grade wind speed and energy assessments with either no or limited on-site met mast comparisons in benign conditions.

🥶 These photos from GMS - Galetech Measurement Services are making us shiver! However it shows some of the challenging conditions our Trusted Service Providers face. The ZX 300 is designed to operate in some of the coldest climates in the world and its innovative design means snow does not cause obstruction to the collection of wind data 📈 You can read more about the ZX 300 here ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/egTwTriH #zxlidars #windmeasurement #windlidar #windenergy #renewableenergy
A challenging first week back for 2025! Well done to the GMS team for getting the job done in some very challenging conditions. ⛄️ RES , Galetech Group , ZX Lidars #RenewableEnergy #Lidar #LidarRental #WindMeasurement #RemotePowerSupplies

🚨 Wind Lidar… but not for the wind industry? That’s right. While wind #Lidars like the ZX 300 are widely known for their role in the wind energy sector, they’re also tackling other world challenges - namely methane emissions. 📈 In partnership with TotalEnergies, our wind Lidar is being used in a whole new way: to provide the precise wind data needed for accurate methane monitoring. Why does that matter? Because methane is over 25 times more potent than CO₂ at trapping heat in our atmosphere. 🎯 This isn’t just a technical fix - it’s part of a global shift towards smarter, more targeted approaches to emissions reduction. It’s a surprising use of wind Lidar. But in today’s world, it’s more important than ever.

🎉 2024 – what a year! 🎉 Our #Lidars travelled to all 4 corners of the globe #onshore and #offshore, from the hot climate of Australia ☀️ to the cold extremes of Alaska ❄️ and everywhere in between. 🌍 The Lidars weren’t the only things on the move as our team attended many events, speaking to existing customers and forming new relationships. We also held our second Wind Lidar Masterclass in Madrid, where over 160 wind industry professionals joined us. Watch this space for details of Masterclass number 3. 🏠 We’ve now settled into our forever home at Willow End where we have grown our own produce in our allotments, watched the abundant wildlife taking residence and came together in the summer for a Team ZX day. 🫶 We’ve continued to donate to charitable causes through the ZX Corporate Social Responsibility programme, The Adrian Coffey Project, and our Managing Director Ian Locker and Data Scientist Anya Treadwell Middle embarked on the epic #RideAfrica across Kenya 🚲 👏 Thank you to all our customers and ZX family who have been with us throughout 2024, we can’t wait for 2025! #zxlidars #windmeasurement #renewableenergy
