ON GRID ENERGY SYSTEMS

Our focus is on industrial and commercial customers where systems are sized and designed to meet operational criteria.  Identifying opportunities for energy efficiency and reshaping the load profile are core services we offer and help make better use of the energy harvest.  On grid solutions include solar energy, wind turbine, micro-hydro and battery storage.

Pre-feasibility and Feasibility Studies

A pre-feasibility ensures your Renewable Energy project makes sense and is optimised to your individual situation.  We assess the resource and calculate energy harvest, finding the sweet spot between your load profile and generation potential.

 

Optimisation is based on economic criteria such as net present value return on the project and internal rate of return.

Detailed Design

Our detailed design process ensures your Renewable Energy project performs to meet the criteria established at the feasibility stage and lasts the distance.  We manage all aspects of detailed design including:

 

 – Electrical (low and high voltage) design

 – Mechanical

 – Equipment sizing and selection for solar, wind, hydro and battery storage

 – Production of CAD drawings and as built documentation

– Operating and Maintenance manuals

System Modelling

 

We use a variety of software modelling tools, including RETScreen, HOMER and PVSyst to model energy systems and projects. Additionally, we use software developed in house to optimise system configuration for industrial and commercial on–grid systems. These models provide invaluable insights into proposed energy projects and assist with:

• Financial analysis; payback, NPV, ROI and IRR
• Managing scenario analysis
• Investigating and validating assumptions
• Undertaking sensitivity analysis
• Optimising the mix of energy inputs in multi-input systems (e.g. wind, solar, cogeneration)

Project Management

We provide project management services covering all phases of a project; working for our clients to ensure accountability, transparency, close management of project risk and ultimately the delivery of value.  Typical deliverables include:

 – Validation of the projects strategic contribution and alignment with business objectives through a project charter.

 – Pre-feasibility and feasibility studies

 – Development of project financial, risk and quality plans.

 – Time and cost management

 – Construction management

 – Quality, development and management of Inspection Test Plans (ITPs)

 – Status reporting

 – Health and safety reviews and audits

 – Commissioning, acceptance and handover

– Project closure

 – Project Review
