EPConsult Energies (EP) is a leading provider of comprehensive wind energy solutions with a robust global presence. Our expertise spans both offshore and onshore wind energy projects, catering to an ever-evolving energy landscape. The last decade has seen remarkable strides in wind energy technology, marked by larger wind turbines and, more recently, the advent of floating wind turbines. This evolution brings traditional development, implementation, operational challenges, and newer, unexpected ones. These demand innovative and economically sensible digital solutions, an area where EP excels.

Our competencies in wind energy include the following: 

Development Phase:

  1. Comprehensive wind and wave measurement campaigns for design, construction, and operational optimisation.
  2. Selecting suitable wind turbine generators (WTGs) considering factors such as wind resource, target availability, reliability, constructability, costs, and warranty.
  3. Designing wind farm layouts to maximise total farm yield while minimising installation and lifetime costs.
  4. Defining intrafield and export cable design, routing, and installation engineering.
  5. Formulating effective environmental management plans.

Construction Phase:

  1. Technical support for WTG and Balance of Plant (BoP), ensuring optimal operation and long-term project success.
  2. Development of HSE and Quality Plans for the construction phase.
  3. Comprehensive project implementation risk management.

Operation Phase:

  1. Cost-effective strategies for operational heavy lifts.
  2. Uptime improvement and OPEX reduction using our digital EP-AIP tool.
  3. Life extension optimisation through predictive digital solutions.
  4. Wind and Load Measurement campaigns for OPEX optimisation and power curve verification.
  5. Implementation of robust asset integrity management systems (AIM).

Moreover, EP brings new technology solutions and R&D into specialist equipment and concepts such as:

  1. Next-generation WTGs.
  2. Change-out philosophies for turbines and BoP.
  3. Battery-accommodated solutions.
  4. Kite concept developments.
  5. Hybrid renewable technologies.

Our traditional solutions cover a wide range of areas, from opportunity framing and risk management to value engineering and maintenance optimisation. We ensure the optimisation of WTG performance, oversee design and implementation of measurement programs for utility-scale wind farms, conduct project audits and HSE studies, and manage asset integrity and performance.
