Services
I offer as an independent consultant the following services worldwide for my customers:
- Prepare economic feasibility studies for wind-, solar, hybrid power plants with or without Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in MW range.
- Tendering of wind-, solar-, hybrid energy projects with BESS in MW range.
- Optimization of power plant operation.
Hybrid power plants for off- and on-grid sites
The main focus is on remote sites, that have a base load over 4 MW, with high share of electricity cost on the total operational expenses.
-Analyzing the load profile and the existing power plant infrastructure.
-Design of the optimal combination of a hybrid power plant consisting of wind turbines and / or PV power plant eventually a battery energy storage system (BESS) according to the demand of the customer and to his priorities: best cost efficiency or highest possible share of renewable energy.
-Without load management, only via building a hybrid power plant the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) can be reduced usually by at least 10% depending on the site and on the planned lifetime of the hybrid powerplant (even from 7 years lifetime of the hybrid powerplant), 25-40% of the fossil fuel can be saved, meanwhile in peak times 100% renewable energy penetration can be achieved.
-A secure power supply and network stability has the highest priority. Only proven technology, quality products should be used that ensure the network stability.
What benefits has a hybrid power plant for our customers?
-After analyzing the site, the economic feasibility of a hybrid power plant can be assessed. The customer has the possibility to develop the project by himself, or to receive offers for a customized power purchase agreement (PPA) for his site.
- I assess the project risks for the customer, the customer can make a decision, if he wants to take the project development risk or he prefers to conduct a PPA.
-I have experience in the whole value chain of the wind energy industry (project development, retail of wind turbines, financing, construction, operation of wind turbines) that is why I can set up the projects extremely cost efficient.
-I prove the possibilities to get local subsidies for green electricity production, through subsidies the payback period of the investment can be shorter.
-Our customers can achieve the shift towards renewable energy by concluding a PPA with an independent power producer (IPP) at their site or by having an own project development and realization. I can help to reduce the project development risks and cost overruns and to define the benefits of the project in forward.
-Why to have a hybrid power plant and to use renewable energy at your site:
- clear cost benefit, in the same time higher energy supply security;
- reduced exposure to fuel price volatility;
- reduced environmental footprint;
- stronger social license to operate.
