From renewable source to a stable grid.

Building a solar park or wind farm is only half the job. The other half is connecting it to the grid, under strict technical rules, with the right transformers and protection, and keeping it stable. Our engineers know both traditional power systems and the newer inverter-based and hybrid formats, and bridge the two.

Scope

What we help with

Grid connection studies, applications and agreements

Substation and transformer specification, procurement and installation

Compliance with grid codes and operator requirements

Integration of solar, wind and battery storage in hybrid plants

Onshore and offshore wind export connections

Commissioning, energisation and performance testing

Why it is hard

Grids were built for large central power plants. Renewables are distributed, variable and use power electronics. That changes voltage control, protection, fault behaviour and stability, and every operator interprets the rules slightly differently. We have done it in many countries and know where the pitfalls are.

Did you know?

Hybrid plants that co-locate generation and storage behind a single connection point are becoming the default way to make scarce grid capacity go further.
