Negritos LiDAR

The Negritos project consisted of the installation and commissioning of a LiDAR system for wind measurement activities, with the aim of collecting high-quality meteorological data.

During the work, the Telener 360 team faced different challenges, such as difficult access to the land and administrative procedures for importing the material.

To support and connect the MeteoLaser Ammonit LiDAR system, Telener 360 designed and manufactured a trailer specialized in hard-to-reach terrain and with interlocking components for easy transport. Prior to installation, a meticulous and lengthy bureaucratic process was followed that was resolved with the Temporary importation of the equipment to comply with Peruvian regulations.

Once in the field, the assembly of components was carried out (solar panel, LiDAR, cabinet, antennas…) on the trailer. In addition, it is They implemented anchors (2 meters long) in the 4 corners of the trailer, tensioned with steel cable and tensioners, to reinforce the fixation, static balance and leveling.

To ensure the self-sufficiency of the installation, an autonomous photovoltaic energy system was integrated, consisting of a solar panel, a battery bank and a charge controller, with electrical protections.

The IP65 airtight electrical enclosure was integrated inside the trailer, with power and communication circuits included.

Separate grounding systems were also installed for a Franklin-tipped lightning rod (for protection against atmospheric discharge) and for the LiDAR circuits and electrical cabinet.

Regarding the positioning and leveling of the LiDAR within the trailer, it was oriented toward True North (applying a magnetic declination correction of -1.99° West) and the horizontal alignment of the optical components was verified. Leveling was first performed on the trailer and subsequently on the LiDAR, with real-time monitoring. The LiDAR unit was secured with bolts and protected by a locked, bolted metal grille to prevent potential vandalism.

After the equipment setup and commissioning, a continuous security service was contracted, with scheduled guard patrols provided by a specialized local company. Additionally, a 24/7 security camera was installed to monitor the trailer’s condition and operating voltage in real time.
