Micrositing and Site Verification
This service is articulated in several activities, closely connected:
- Field data filtering and assessment.
- Wind Farm Class Verification (at measured points and at intended location of turbines).
- Wind Farm Power Production estimates.
- Micrositing and optimization of Wind Turbine locations.
- etc.
We are a Gamesa qualified partner for site verification and have significant experience in Micrositing for Wind Farm Development.
Taking into account the Site Verification results, we can also assess the adequacy of the selected Wind Turbines regarding life cycle durability (life cycle fatigue and extreme load calculations according to IEC 61400 series), in cooperation with the Wind Turbine supplier.
We count with the first Chinese Engineer WAsP-certified by Risø.
Civil Engineering for Wind Farms
As wind turbine dimensions continue to grow, the associated Civil Engineering becomes more complex. Logistics begin to pose serious problems beyond the current standard of 2 Mw wind turbine size.
New concepts for towers, foundations and assembly procedures must be evaluated, looking for more cost efficient solutions.
MS Enertech, building on the extensive expertise of Montur in assembly, construction and structural engineering helps our clients to continue the optimization of the Wind Farm civil engineering, by:
- Evaluating new foundation concepts
- Proposing new methods and means for Wind Turbine assembly
- Performing design and calculations for steel reinforced concrete elements
- Developing automated tools for structural verification of civil engineering items
- Etc.
Based on its Civil Engineering expertise, MS Enertech can perform all kind of structural analysis in related areas: walls, foundations, bridges, buildings,....
Wind Turbine Dynamic Analysis & Verification
Wind Farm profitability is a 20 year business, where reliability of the Wind Turbines along the Wind Farm lifetime is critical. When the proposed site (or specific locations therein) are out of class, detailed calculations must be made in order to ensure the durability of the selected Wind Turbines.
We are a Gamesa qualified partner for Wind Turbine verification, supporting the assessment of the selected Wind Turbines regarding life cycle durability (life cycle fatigue and extreme load calculations according to IEC 61400).
We collaborate in wind turbine and blade optimization projects, using sophisticated dynamic analysis tools and methodologies.
Intellectual Property & Technology Watch
The field of Wind Energy is in quick technological evolution. Furthermore, the novelty of its application means that the relevant regulations are not fully developed in most countries. Or worse, that existing regulations and normative applies in unexpected ways to Wind Farm projects under development.
MS Techno can help his clients in this field by providing:
- Intellectual Property technical services, including patent assessment.
- Technology Watch services.
- Follow-up of the evolution of applicable regulations in different countries.
- Competitive Intelligence Services.
Sourcing and Offshoring in China
Based on the experience of MS Techno in China, where these activities are performed both for internal and client projects, we can supply the following services:
- Supplier identification.
- Support the Supplier Selection and Negotiation processes.
- Supplier Development.
- Offshoring of Engineering Work Packages.
For these activities, our fields of expertise are:
- The sourcing of high-end electrical and mechanical components.
- Electromechanical product engineering and civil engineering.
Critical activities normally involve the join assessment of operational and verification procedures, the upgrade of quality systems to western standards and the follow-up during the initial phase, up to the achievement of nominal quality levels.
