We harness cross-cutting technology to offer advice on your renewable energy project at all phases and for all technologies: hydroelectric, pumped storage, wind, solar PV, biomass, SMR and BESS.
Site inspection and assessment, preliminary concept design, permitting review, rights of way evaluation and energy modelling. We provide services in any location and for any type of client: investors, owners, developers or IPP companies.
Whether the project is in development or operation, we inspect it and raise potential issues before the decision to purchase, finance or sell. Assessment covers: peer review of design and civil structures, site inspection, permitting scrutiny, EPC and O&M contracts evaluation, land agreements, energy and financial model evaluation, plant performance analysis and quality inspection.
Deep review of renewable power projects based on historical archive and site performance. We support warranty claims and plant performance issues with comprehensive inspections and measurements.
Greenfield and brownfield project hybridisation scenarios — technology selection, project conditions assessment, high-level technical solutions and financial scope to optimise project returns.
Support to lenders throughout the whole process: inception phase, site supervision, project progress and milestones, commissioning, punch list, provisional acceptance certificate and final acceptance certificate.
Independent energy models based on OEM efficiency curves and restrictions, providing additional security for renewable power plants. Detailed potential energy yield models to support financial scenarios.
Feasibility study, demand management systems, technical and economic feasibility analysis, permitting assessment, and project management, planning, scheduling and budgeting for battery energy storage projects.
Comprehensive support in contract negotiations and technical assistance during design, construction and commissioning: design review, construction supervision, QA/QC (FAT, SAT, PAC, FAC), commissioning punch list and performance test support.
Full control of facilities while optimising maintenance and profitability. We approach this from a technical and economic perspective to maximise the useful life of the plant.
Comprehensive analysis of plant data and main equipment performance. We present proposals and action plans to optimise facility performance, always weighing cost against benefit of implementation.
Assessment of whether a facility needs repowering or core equipment replacement. We handle feasibility, administrative management, tendering, contracting, equipment sourcing and supervision through to final document submission.
Technical support prior to the commercial operations date, coordinating O&M, HSE, Environment and Engineering departments to verify the plant can supply and sell power immediately after start-up.
Expert support for government-sponsored incentive programmes (auctions, contracts for differences, fixed sales price lists, tax credits, subsidies, non-refundable financing). We guide clients from document compilation to final rating.
Turbine efficiency estimates, thermography, I-V curves, power curves, performance study of large components, blade alignment, anemometer measurements, alarm-based performance analysis, vibration analysis and blade inspections.
Expert management and analysis of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), identifying risks and optimising revenue. We also support owners during Green Energy Auction Programmes, feed-in-tariff programmes and related government plans.
Daily online/offline monitoring of KPIs, incidents and alarms. Monthly diagnosis of deviations, cause analysis and improvement proposals. Quarterly plant visits verifying corrective and preventive measures. Annual preventive O&M plan validation and claims coordination.
Detailed monthly technical reports covering production data, technical and contractual availability, major malfunctions, permits, KPI control, budget performance, project revenues and HSE. Quarterly executive management reports also prepared.
Local and remote management of hydropower facilities across the full operational lifecycle — from routine maintenance to major rehabilitations and specialised engineering services.
Local/remote operations management, day-to-day facility management, O&M concept and procedures setup, shutdown/lockout/tagging procedures, water intake management, flood control, health and safety planning, emergency response plan, spare parts inventory and management of desilting devices.
Regular preventative maintenance and inspections ensuring reliable day-to-day plant operation. Services cover: turbine functional checks and bearing lubrication, gearbox inspection and oil changes, generator inspection, hydraulic system checks, sensor verification, controller functions, and inspection of intake area, pipelines and sluices.
Bearing replacement, drive coupling changes, sensor replacement and calibration, controller reprogramming, endoscopic turbine and gearbox inspections, major mechanical/electrical/civil repairs, pipeline pigging and inspections, weir surveys, flow rate measurements, electrical inspection and testing, and hydro system performance reviews.
Rehabilitation, replacement and modernisation of mechanical and electrical equipment and control systems with the objectives of: extending plant lifetime, reducing outages, upgrading to modern standards, increasing hydro capacity, improving electricity supply reliability, optimising water resource utilisation and improving environmental standards.
'Whole of life' asset management covering planning, operations, maintenance, replacement and upgrade phases. Includes performance assessment, condition assessment, risk and safety analysis, and engineering and design. We craft and implement asset management strategies for public and private power plants.
Assessment of existing plant and due diligence, supervision of construction and electro-mechanical equipment installation, commissioning supervision, dam and penstock safety analysis, remedial works, heavy maintenance, troubleshooting, measurement and diagnostics, environmental impact analysis, sediment management, hydrological assessment and socio-economic studies.
Strengthening the skills and competencies of hydropower plant personnel to ensure safe, reliable and efficient operation, while minimising downtime and extending asset life.
Control room operations via SCADA/HMI systems, load management and power dispatch coordination, grid synchronisation procedures, turbine and generator management (start-up, shut-down, alarm handling, performance monitoring) and auxiliary system operations (cooling, lubrication, hydraulic, firefighting and drainage).
Predictive and preventive maintenance techniques, vibration analysis, thermography and oil analysis, maintenance logs and documentation standards, fault diagnosis (electrical, mechanical, control systems), repair planning, spare part handling, root cause analysis (RCA) and failure reporting.
Plant safety protocols and permit-to-work systems, emergency shutdown and evacuation procedures, PPE use and hazard identification (HAZID), simulation drills for fire/flood/electrical failure, first aid and rescue procedures, disaster response coordination, regulatory and environmental compliance.
Grid operations and stability (frequency and voltage regulation, black start procedures), SCADA and automation systems (data logging, alarms, HMI best practices, cybersecurity awareness), energy efficiency and KPI tracking (Availability, Reliability, Efficiency) and operational benchmarking.
Instructor-led classroom sessions, on-site hands-on training with live systems, simulation-based scenarios and group workshops. Deliverables include: customised training curriculum, training manuals and SOPs, trainee competency records, practical and written evaluations, and a final training report with follow-up recommendations.
Our engineering team is available to assess your technical requirements on any continent.
