The WindSentinel™ is the world's first wind resource assessment buoy capable of accurately gathering wind data at turbine hub-height and across the blade span.

At the heart of the WindSentinel™ is the Vindicator® Laser Wind Sensor, a next generation solid state laser designed to accurately measure wind from moving platforms. Using three fixed beams, this laser wind sensor can take single focused or multi-point measurements up to a maximum range of 300 meters. The resulting wind data is acquired, processed and transmitted via a selection of telemetry options through our AXYS WatchMan500™ controller. These components have been engineered into the AXYS Nomad buoy - a well-proven proprietary platform designed to perform in extreme offshore marine environments.

The WindSentinel™ is the faster and more accurate way to gather offshore wind data across multiple locations, for less money. Deploy a WindSentinel™ to perform wind resource assessments without the high costs and bureaucratic hurdles associated with fixed marine met tower construction.

For the cost of a single fixed met tower, and in substantially less time, you can deploy a networked array of WindSentinel™ buoys over one or all of your potential Wind Farm sites, allowing you to be more agile and responsive as you vie for funding.

How will you compete for Your share of the wind?

The WindSentinel™ delivers real competitive advantage.

Deploy a WindSentinel™ to:

• Lower the operating and capital costs associated with wind resource assessment
• Gather data at multiple sites simultaneously
• Reduce permitting, licensing, and red tape
• Increase the speed with which your project gets funding
• Lower your time to market
