reSail - Seiling med vindassistert fremdrift i realistiske vindforhold

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

Fugro Norway supports the Collaborative and Knowledge-building Project "reSail - Sailing with wind-assisted propulsion in realistic wind conditions" by providing high-quality fully motion-corrected ship-based wind data. Two profiling wind lidar units and a motion sensor will be operated on the deck of a ship equipped with eSails. Lidar and motion are recorded by an integrated data interface. Subsequent reprocessing of the wind-lidar data will correct the measurements for all effects of motion and for the cross-contamination effect that is usually inherent in unaveraged measurement data from profiling wind lidars. After the project has ended, the system for acquisition and processing of ship-lidar data will be offered commercially.
