ZX Measurement Services Supports Invenergy with Multi-Site Wind Measurement Campaigns Across Scotland image
Leading privately-held clean energy developer Invenergy has contracted ZX Measurement Services (ZX MS) to conduct 12-month wind measurement campaigns across multiple sites in Scotland.
 
The campaigns have been supported through the provision of ground-based ZX 300 wind Lidar rental and the rental of ZX Power, ZX MS’s leading remote power solution, designed specifically to enable reliable, autonomous operation in off-grid locations. These systems are currently deployed across our onshore wind development locations in Scotland - spanning the Scottish Borders, Dumfries & Galloway, and the Highlands.
 
Each 12-month campaign has been designed to deliver high-quality, bankable wind data to inform turbine siting, project design, and investment-grade assessments. Using ZX 300 wind Lidar technology, Invenergy continues to apply innovative and flexible measurement solutions that enhance data accuracy while enabling a simpler, faster, and more efficient approach to wind measurement.
 
“Reliable and accurate wind data is fundamental to our project development process,” said Alastair Hamilton, Senior Director at Invenergy. “The combination of the experience of the ZX Measurement Services team, the reliability of the ZX 300 wind Lidar, and the performance of the associated ZX Power systems platforms has provided us with confidence to commence these wind measurement campaigns across Scotland. Working with ZX MS gives our team the flexibility needed to progress projects efficiently and quickly.”
 
ZX 300 has been deployed more than 15,000 times globally and is proven to deliver accurate and reliable wind data regardless of surrounding climate or terrain. Its compact, mobile design and low visual impact allow for rapid deployment, enabling measurements to begin quickly and efficiently.
 
Complementing the measurement system, ZX Power provides an integrated, field-proven power solution purpose-built for remote Lidar operation. Delivering stable, autonomous power for extended durations, ZX Power ensures uninterrupted data collection throughout long-term measurement campaigns.
