Strengthening its commitment to innovation and customer-centric solutions in the wind energy sector, Vaisala today announced service enhancements to WindCube, its vertical profiling lidar for accurate, bankable wind data — offshore and onshore. The new offerings will be available for new WindCube orders starting Dec. 1, 2024.

Key enhancements:

• Extended Warranty: With customers performing multiple measurement campaigns over a five-year period, WindCube now includes a five-year standard warranty, up from the previous three-year interval. Plus, customers who conduct preventive maintenance at 5 years can purchase a 5-year warranty extension, increasing the warranty period to 10 years. This extension reflects WindCube’s wind measurement reliability, maximized uptime, and proven in-field durability and performance.
• Free e-learning program: This new offering provides an online, level 1 training program with every WindCube purchase. This complimentary certificate program provides faster, more accessible training that results in quicker operational deployment. Optional in-person, on-site training remains available for customers seeking more in-depth instruction.

“The latest WindCube enhancements demonstrate Vaisala’s unwavering commitment to meeting the evolving needs of wind energy customers while remaining the trusted choice for weather intelligence solutions in the renewable energy sector,” said Alexis Crama, Vice President for Renewable Energy Business in Weather and Environment at Vaisala. “Extending our warranty to five years and introducing comprehensive e-learning capabilities allows us to not just improve the WindCube product but evolve how an entire industry approaches wind measurement campaigns.”

In September, Vaisala unveiled Compass, its weather-based decision-making platform for the renewable energy industry. The cloud-based platform organizes, interconnects, and simplifies access to the largest portfolio of weather solutions — including WindCube —combining instruments and intelligence.
