Vaisala Unveils Exciting Upgrades For WindCube Services!

Reinforcing its commitment to innovation and customer-oriented solutions in the wind energy industry, Vaisala has just announced enhancements to WindCube, its vertical profiling lidar for precise, reliable wind data — both offshore and onshore. The new features will be available for new WindCube orders starting December 1, 2024.

Notable improvements:

Extended Warranty: With clients conducting multiple measurement campaigns over a five-year span, WindCube now comes with a standard five-year warranty, increased from the previous three-year term. Additionally, customers who perform preventive maintenance at the five-year mark can purchase a five-year warranty extension, resulting in a total warranty period of 10 years. This extension underscores WindCube’s reliability in wind measurement, optimized uptime, and proven durability and performance in the field.
Complimentary e-learning program: This new offering provides an online, level 1 training program with every WindCube purchase. This free certificate program enables faster, more accessible training that leads to quicker operational deployment. Optional in-person, on-site training remains available for clients seeking more comprehensive instruction.

“The latest WindCube enhancements highlight Vaisala’s steadfast dedication to fulfilling the changing demands of wind energy clients while continuing to be the preferred choice for weather intelligence solutions in the renewable energy sector,” stated Alexis Crama, Vice President for Renewable Energy Business in Weather and Environment at Vaisala. “By extending our warranty to five years and introducing comprehensive e-learning capabilities, we not only enhance the WindCube product but also transform how the entire industry approaches wind measurement campaigns.”

In September, Vaisala launched Compass, its weather-based decision-making platform for the renewable energy sector. The cloud-enabled platform organizes, interlinks, and streamlines access to the widest array of weather solutions — including WindCube — merging devices and intelligence.
