Overview

Driven by national infrastructure plans and renewable energy strategies, the Philippines presents steady demand for reliable wind measurement solutions, with clear focus on aviation meteorology and offshore wind resource assessment. Local projects impose comprehensive requirements on equipment performance, environmental adaptability, supporting documentation and after-sales service.

As a professional manufacturer of meteorological monitoring equipment, Qingdao Hotech delivers a complete suite of wind measurement products — ultrasonic wind sensors and coherent Doppler wind LiDAR. Our solutions are tailored to the tropical marine climate and relevant industry specifications in the Philippines, supporting local partners to implement long-term, stable wind observation projects in aviation, offshore wind power, marine atmospheric monitoring and eco-environmental research.

Market Background & Application Requirements

Aviation Meteorological Observation

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) advances continuous upgrading of Automated Weather Observing Systems (AWOS) at airports nationwide, following ICAO standards. Multiple airport modernization projects have issued tenders for meteorological sensors in recent years.

Located within the typhoon belt, the Philippines requires aviation-grade wind sensors to feature a wide measuring range, robust corrosion-resistant structure and low-maintenance design. Equipment should support standardized calibration procedures to meet local meteorological administration requirements.

Offshore Wind Resource Assessment

The Philippines holds abundant offshore wind energy resources. To support orderly wind farm development, developers are required to conduct long-term wind resource campaigns for 12–18 months prior to project construction.

Floating LiDAR systems have become a preferred measurement solution across the industry. Compared with traditional offshore meteorological masts, wind LiDAR enables flexible deployment and optimizes overall project costs, providing continuous vertical wind profile data to support project design and financing evaluation.

Field equipment must withstand high humidity, heavy salt spray and extreme weather typical of island marine environments for unattended long-term operation.
