Engineering

Our experienced specialists offer you engineering packages, specifications for construction and supervision services, following industry best practise and guidelines.

Our specialized services

In addition to our electric & civil lead engineering services, we work with top especialists in different areas like resource analysis, grid code especialists, procurement executives, legal advisors, construction supervisors. Ultimately the people and the team will secure you the solutions and the results that create the value for your project.

Together with our network of experienced experts we are able to provide you the works specification, the management and consequent evaluations that enable the start of the Design Engineering process:

  • Topographic and Land Owner survey
  • Soil Investigation
  • Grid Assessment / Power Quality Measurement

 

Electrical studies are absolutely essential to design the grid connection system, ensure the compliance with the grid code and evaluate the stable operation of the wind farm.

The studies extend strongly depend on the particularities of the given grid access and the desired application. From steady state to transitory regimes it is important to make use of right tools and correct models. Often conducted by very specialized engineers with strong technical skills, it is important not to get lost and adequate required effort to desired purpose.

We offer the needed support, interpretation and decision for all electrical studies. Together with our partners we are able to provide the following studies:

  • Power Flow
  • Short Circuit
  • Insulation Study
  • Selectivity Analysis
  • Potential and Earthing calculation
  • Static & Dynamic capabilities
  • EMTP transient studies
  • Harmonic Analysis

All the basic studies required to support a Basic Engineering Design Package containing all technical data needed by a competent contractor to perform the detail Execution Engineering and base an offer. It includes:

  • Location of Grid Connection point
  • Grid Code analysis / Grid Compliance solution
  • Power System Studies
  • SLD
  • Layout
  • Communication layout
  • Definition and rating / sizing of main equipment specifications
  • Preliminary Single Line Diagram
  • Preliminary works layout
  • Definition of protection and control devices
  • Definition of metering device location
  • Equipment Specification / Works specification (Descriptive Memory)
  • Quality Plan (min. requirements)

The required input for the basic Engineering is normally a Feasibility Study or Conceptual Design of the grid connection.

The required input for the basic Engineering is normally a Feasibility Study or Conceptual Design.

The substation is a fundamental piece in the connection of the asset to the grid. It is a complex item and plays a big influence on the fulfilment (or not) of the grid code. It often constitutes a separate item with its own construction contract.

This service package includes:

  • Layout of the switching yard, building plan and room plan
  • Single Line Diagram
  • Dimensioning of the primary equipment (Transformer, Switch Gears, Power cables, Neutral Impedances)
  • Dimensioning of the secondary equipment (Current / Voltage transformers, Protection, Metering, Control devices)
  • Auxiliary services, lightning, earthing, climatisation, communication systems
  • Trenches and foundation plans
  • Works schedule
  • Responsibility Interface
  • Equipment specification
  • Tender and Contracting Support
  • Equipment FAT and Quality Assessment
  • Site Supervision and quality control
  • SAT and Final Acceptance

For the connection of the wind / solar asset to the grid a medium voltage, communication and earthing grids must be created. The layout and the dimensioning of such grids have a strong influence on the project’s investment and operation costs. Experience and expertise are essential in all stages of this project, from Engineering to Tendering and Project Execution.

This service includes:

  • Layout of the power, communication and earthing cables
  • Dimensioning of the power cables (Short Circuit Study, Power Flow)
  • Single Line Diagram
  • Connection Scheme of Communication
  • Cable trench and foundation cable laying schemes

Design of civil works and the design of its infrastruture have a strong influence on the project’s investment cost. Experience and expertise are essential in all stages of design and should be performed according to international regulations.

The Service includes:

  • Evaluations of types of design

– elaboration of concept design /preliminary design /detailed design and its Bill of Quantities

  • Structural design

– generic concrete and steel structures for towers and foundations

  • Geotechnical design

– design of geotechnical campaign / geotechnical studies and specifications / foundation analysis / soil-structure interaction

Design of civil works infrastructure according to international regulations and OEM`s specification:

  • Road design

– design of wind-solar farm road layout / design of windfarm hardstands and site compounds- optimization of windfarm layouts

  • Design assessment

– structural design verification / structural design improvement/optimization
