[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nRNS Number : 1354U Windar Photonics PLC 05 April 2016 \n\nWindar Photonics plc\n(\"Windar\" or the \"Company\")\n \nWindar Photonics announces a new order of 15 WindEYE™ units\n \nWindar Photonics plc (AIM:WPHO) is pleased to announce an order of 15 WindEYE™ LiDAR units from the Chinese market for delivery in April 2016. \n \nThe WindEYE™ LiDAR units are to be installed on Goldwind wind turbines already operating in China during Q2 2016 and will be integrated directly with the wind turbines' control systems. Integrating the LiDAR directly with the wind turbine's control system enables the LiDAR sensor to reduce costs associated with maintenance and repairs, while concurrently increasing the annual energy production from the wind turbine by 1-4%. \n \nMartin Rambusch, Chief Executive Officer of Windar , commented on the order:\n \n\"We are very pleased with the progress being made in multiple markets due to the flexibility which our LiDAR product offers in terms of both retrofit or new turbine deployment to asset owners. This order is an important milestone for Windar in terms of our market presence in the Chinese Market. It is also a significant step forward towards a collaboration with the Chinese Wind Turbine OEMs concerning direct control system integration of Windar's LiDAR units as part of the design stage of wind turbine development.\"\n \n \n \nFor further information:\n \n\n\n\n\nWindar Photonics plc\n\n\nMartin Rambusch, CEO\n\n\n+45 2168 9476\n \n\n\n\n\nCantor Fitzgerald Europe\nNominated Adviser and Broker\n \n \n\n\nAndrew Craig\nRichard Salmond\n\n\n+44 (0)20 7894 7000\n \n\n\n\n\n \nAbout Windar\nWindar Photonics is a technology group that develops cost-efficient and innovative Light Detection and Ranging (\"LIDAR\") optimization systems for use on electricity generating wind turbines. LIDAR wind sensors in general are designed to remotely measure wind speed and direction.\n \nAbout WindEYE™\nThe Group's key product is the WindEye™ Sensor, which measures wind direction and wind speed by scanning a laser beam ahead of the wind turbine. The WindEye™ Sensor was designed for the general optimization of wind turbines.\nBased on the Group's testing, it has proven possible for the WindEye™ Sensor to increase the power output...
