Technological developments, renewable energy policy and increasing interest in and demand for sustainable energy options are providing new market opportunities for the energy industry worldwide. The past few years have seen increased attention placed on offshore and onshore wind energy and distributed generation resources such as solar, biogas turbines, combined heat and power and fuel cells.
Success in harnessing these new opportunities requires in-depth understanding of and planning for the impact of integrating wind and distributed generation with the energy network. Wind park integration
The focus on offshore wind energy in particular has changed significantly in the past few years. The development of large-scale offshore wind farms raises fundamental questions about the operation of the wind farm in the electricity network. We help clients address fundamental questions related to grid integration by providing: - system studies: power flow, network stability, power balancing, power quality aspects
- feasibility analysis of new technologies like HVDC, FACTS devices, electricity storage or even a hydrogen network
- infrastructure design and engineering
- analysis of investment decisions and economic feasibility
- impact assessment of governmental policy and regulation.
