Strengthening Global Collaboration in Wind Energy: DTU’s Prof. Jakob Mann Visits Movelaser

We were thrilled to host Professor Jakob Mann, a world-renowned expert in wind energy and atmospheric science from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), for an engaging visit to Movelaser in Nanjing.

Prof. Mann has long been at the forefront of wind energy research, particularly in the use of remote sensing to enhance wind resource assessment. His work has significantly improved how we model wind in complex terrains and challenging climates—laying a solid foundation for more efficient and sustainable wind farm development worldwide.

At Movelaser, we’ve been pushing the boundaries of wind lidar technology through full in-house R&D and large-scale production. One of our key innovations is the Molas 3D lidar system—designed to capture three-dimensional wind vector fields in real time. With its ability to measure both horizontal and vertical components of wind, Molas 3D offers powerful capabilities for turbulence characterization, wake studies, and site optimization, especially in complex onshore or offshore environments.

During the visit, Prof. Mann shared his latest research insights and explored technical challenges with our R&D team, including topics such as improving lidar data stability and accuracy in dynamic atmospheric conditions. These in-depth exchanges sparked exciting opportunities for future collaboration.

We are excited to build on this momentum by strengthening our industry-academia partnership—combining Movelaser’s applied technology expertise with DTU’s world-leading research. Together, we aim to accelerate innovation in wind energy and contribute meaningfully to the global energy transition.
