Copenhagen Offshore Partners (COP) announced that a floating LiDAR device had been deployed at the Ichnusa Wind Power project site approximately 35 kilometres off the Sardinian coast to measure wind and wave conditions. Managed by Akrocean with additional instruments from Italy’s National Research Council (CNR), the 12–14 month campaign, the first floating LiDAR deployment for an offshore wind project in Sardinia, will inform the design of the project’s floating foundations, cables and turbines and support environmental protection and broader Mediterranean research.
