sowento supports its clients in the certification process of lidar-assisted control. Being in continuous interaction with certification bodies, the team of sowento knows both sides, the engineering and the certification and bridge the gap between them. Furthermore, sowento’s team contributes to the IEA Wind Task 32 on lidar-assisted control and the mitigation of barriers in

sowento will accompany the client in the field testing phase of lidar assisted control. This ensures the the achievement and the validity of the testing objectives and avoids a failure during the testing. Engineers of sowento support the following three parts of field testing of lidar-assisted control: Planning: With sowento’s long term experiences in test

The sowento engineers will demonstrate the benefits of lidar-assisted control on the OEM’s wind turbine and give advise in possible improvements of the total control strategy. The lidar system is realistically simulated (with availability, blade blockage, etc.) and different controllers can be assessed and compared to each other. At the end of the project, the
