- Key Products/Technologies
- ZX LIDARS offers three main product families. First, the ZX 300e (formerly ZX 300) is a vertical profiling Lidar for onshore wind power projects. This model measures wind data from 10 to 300 meters, notably achieving the world's first classification according to the IEC 61400-50-2 standard within the 21 to 200-meter range. Second, the ZX 300M is a marine-optimized vertical profiling Lidar designed for offshore wind energy projects. This product provides wind resource measurements from 10 to 300 meters even in harsh offshore conditions, accounting for over 90% of global offshore wind measurements. Third, the ZX TM is a horizontal Lidar mounted on wind turbines. This system has a measurement range of 10 to 550 meters and is utilized for rotor equivalent wind speed measurement, yaw misalignment correction, and turbine performance optimization. All products are based on Continuous Wave Lidar technology, utilizing the Doppler shift principle to analyze changes in laser light scattered from atmospheric particles, thereby accurately measuring wind speed, direction, and turbulence.ZX LIDARS offers three main product families.
