We work in partnership with one of the leading companies in the renewable energy
field. We market a large range of cutting-edge, reliable, high-quality and high-tech
products. We are confident that you will not be disappointed in our service
Energy and Power Supply
Consulting We want to help business owners and managers who want to increase their
company’s energy efficiency and decrease its environmental impact. Few of them have
a clear idea of how to do so. That’s where we come in. Whether you organization
is a medical practice, or manufactures heavy machinery, our Energy Consulting services
provide the necessary analysis and recommendations. We tour your facility and evaluate
your current lighting system, measure the efficiency of your current systems and
make recommendations on how to best lower costs and improve your organization’s
environmental impact. For additional information—please contact us
PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
In choosing our sites and designing our projects we involve local people, commission
independent experts and use in-house technical and commercial expertise to ensure
our projects are sympathetically integrated into their local environment as well
as being economically competitive.
Choosing appropriate sites involves the consideration of a range of issues. These
include environmental and social aspects such as local planning policies, environmental
designations and proximity to homes, and also technical, engineering and economic
considerations such as wind speeds, land availability, grid connection and ease
of access.
Our development teams identify new markets, liaise with local partners, find potential
sites, negotiate land rights and power purchase agreements, consult with local communities
and experts, and take projects through the consenting process, all the time working
with our technical, legal and financial teams on the design, financing, permitting
and environmental assessment of the projects.
Predicting the Wind
The development of wind farms that can generate electricity at the most competitive
prices crucially depends on the ability to accurately predict the long term wind
regime at the site and the energy production for the expected life of the wind farm.
RES has developed techniques for long term wind speed & energy yield prediction
and turbine layout optimisation over the last 20 years and applied these to more
than 60 projects. p>
Long term wind climate predictions are carried out by RES by measuring wind speed
and direction on site and correlating with a long term record of wind speeds. The
energy yield prediction takes into account the site climatic conditions, local terrain
and roughness changes, in order to calculate wind speed-up effects, obstacle effects
such as due to forestry, wake effects due to interaction between turbines, and the
power curves of the turbines considered. Any additional losses and the uncertainty
of the energy yield prediction are estimated.
The turbine layout is then optimised for energy yield, using software developed
in house, taking into account all environmental constraints and considering any
constructional limitations. During the layout design process RES makes use of its
expert knowledge in the assessment of acoustic immission levels and possible television
interference at nearby habitations and of the visual impact locally, to protect
the quality of the local environment.
Environmental Impact Assessment
The development of wind farms as a component of a sustainable energy supply strategy
must go hand in hand with sensitive environmental design and planning. No energy
technology is without its effect on the environment, but RES strives to develop
projects that, as far as possible, have minimal impacts on local residents and the
surrounding countryside, as well as the wider environment. We choose our sites carefully
to avoid potential effects on important wildlife and landscape areas and we carry
out Environmental Assessments which include ecological, archaeological, hydrological
and socio-economic assessments. The Environmental Statements are an integral part
of the layout design process, ensuring that our awareness of the environmental issues
surrounding our development shapes the form the project takes.
Our Environmental Assessments are undertaken in consultation with statutory bodies
and local representatives and we undertake public consultation and exhibitions to
disseminate information and to encourage a constructive dialogue.
