Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve put the answers to common questions below.

Please contact us for any other questions.

Wind lidar is a way to measure wind speed and direction using a laser. It can be used to probe the wind at distances up to several kilometres away from a base station. Wind lidar can be configured to measure wind speed and direction at multiple heights; this is known as a vertical wind profiler.

Wind lidar makes it easy to measure wind speed and direction from near the ground to well above the upper tip of a modern wind turbine.

It is therefore frequently used for wind resource assessment campaigns in the planning phase of wind farms.

enerlace is a startup from the University of Stuttgart in Germany. The team is a combination of lidar geeks and software developers. We’ve been working in wind lidar since 2007 and developing software since 2009.

See https://www.enerlace.de/en/about/ for more information about us.

The app helps wind energy professionals be more effective. It:

  • saves time by automating repetitive tasks
  • increases confidence by checking availability
  • supports collaboration by bringing teams together

Moli automatically processes lidar data that it receives either via upload, email or sftp from your lidar. It then offers the following features:

  • Time series plots of wind speed and direction
  • Wind roses and other statistics at all measurement heights
  • Summaries of data availability and other metrics
  • Alerts that notify you if the availability is low or the data transfer isn’t working
  • A logbook, where you can keep a diary about your work on the site or with the wind lidar
  • An automatically-generated summary report
  • A file browser for easy download of your data
  • Options for data upload through the browser, by email to a unique address, and by secure FTP.

The wind lidar usually measure the wind continuously and then calculate a 10-minute average wind speed and direction. Those data are uploaded by the wind lidar to our systems usually once every day. We update the data as soon as we have it.

It takes us a few seconds to process data when we receive it.

Moli requires a browser and an internet connection. We’ve tested it on all the major browsers (Edge, Chrome, Safari, Firefox) and all the major operating systems (Windows, macOS, and Linux) and it works perfectly across all combinations.

Yes. We take your data security very seriously and have implemented (at least) industry standard security measures to protect it. Please check out our data protection policy to find out more.

Yes. You can choose the date period you are looking at, and the height that you choose as a reference. You can also zoom and pan most of the charts.

We take all of the data “as is” from the wind lidar. We apply the same quality control and filtering as the lidar. That means that the data provided through the app, is as accurate as the data provided by the lidar.

Yes. You can download the files that you sent us, and you can download a summary report as well.

Not yet. We’re looking into making a mobile version for some parts of the app, but that will come later.

You’ll be in direct contact with one of the enerlace team for your onboarding and support, so you can contact them directly by mail, phone, or chat.

You can also email us at support@enerlace.de, or raise a support ticket at our self-service portal. There are links to all of these options in the app.

We bill for each measurement campaign that you are monitoring through Moli. Each campaign costs about the equivalent of 90 minutes of a wind expert’s time in western Europe or North America, per month.

To get a quote please contact us.

Yes. We have an extensive API which you can use to integrate the app with other systems. We provide access on a case-by-case basis. Please contact  us to find out more.

Yes. We include a 1-hour onboarding session when you start your free trial, and we’ll happily support you further if you need it.
