NRG Systems has appointed Barry Logue as the company’s Lidar Wind Energy Solutions Manager responsible for all sales and account management for NRG’s Lidar products and services in North America.

Gregory Erdmann, VP, Global Sales at NRG Systems, said: “We are excited to have Barry join us at NRG Systems. His experience in the industry – especially in regard to remote sensing – is valuable for our customers as his technical knowledge is deep and spans several technologies and product lines.”

Barry Logue said: “NRG Systems considers its staff to be a key element of its continued success and I expect to work with the NRG product development and support teams to expand the largest operating fleet of wind Lidars for wind resource and wind farm operations.”

NRG Systems has offered Lidar technology since 2009 through a partnership with Leosphere.

Barry Logue previously served as the Global Applications Manager for Vaisala as well as the Director of Sales at Second Wind, where he helped establish new applications for remote sensing in wind resource assessment as well as operational data reporting. As a member of both U.S. and international standards committees, Logue played a pivotal role in the release of new best practice and formal standards for remote sensing devices in wind energy applications encompassing the entire wind farm lifecycle, NRG said.

Logue earned his MBA from Suffolk University in Boston and has a BS in Aerospace Engineering from Boston University.
