LIDAR

LIDAR http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LIDAR
is a new technology that, when used in wind turbines allows the rotating ability of an upwind turbine (for keeping it pointed into the wind) can sense not only where the wind has been via a wind vein, but can also sense where the wind will be. This new advancement will bring longevity and efficiency to wind production. It will reduce wear on internal components and rotors by maintaining optimal yaw (rotation) as well as optimized yaw angle.
