Project development
A complete package
KEMA has a proven track record for wind farm development and offers a complete package for the development from greenfield to a completed wind farm.
Our consultants support investors in the following ways:
Site identification
Finding the right location is the key factor for wind energy development. Based on suitable site selection criteria KEMA can assist you in finding these locations.
When, as an investor, you have found a suitable location, KEMA can efficiently assess the scope and profitability of a project, and layout the application procedures for planning permission and environmental licenses.
Wind resource assessment
The main source of income is the wind farm energy yield. Unfortunately, this is also the largest source of uncertainty in the financial projections. KEMA’s review of the energy yield predictions includes an assessment of- the wind turbine site
- quality of measured data
- meteorological reference stations
- (complex) terrain and roughness modelling
- correlation procedures and the uncertainty limits in the energy yield prediction.
Our team has more than 20 years of experience in wind resource studies and uses state-of-the-art tools.
Basic wind farm design
KEMA's know-how guarantees that the design will meet all requirements, with maximum profit and economic life going hand in hand with a minimum impact on the environment. A layout of the wind farm is made in consultation with all parties concerned, using the available space as efficiently as possible.
Community relations
During the next phase we assist you in the application procedures for licenses. We can provide computer visualizations and an environmental impact statement where necessary, and can also organize public consultation meetings and excursions.
Financial advice
Prior to the realization of a project, KEMA outlines the most favorable financial options so you can take advantage of available tax facilities and get the best revenues from environmental credits. When concluding contracts for the sale of renewable energy, we negotiate the best possible price for you.
Contracting
Anticipating the erection of a wind farm, KEMA provides support in assessing tenders and awarding contracts with an eye to value for money. Experience has shown that warranties, insurance and maintenance are important cost drivers and should be included in an integral assessment.
Project management
During construction we monitor the quality of the components manufactured and installation operations at the construction site, in order to guarantee a maximum economic life and minimum maintenance costs. On completion we carry out guarantee measurements so you can be certain the supplier has delivered what he promised.
