Wind energy makes a valuable contribution to a sustainable energy future. Fossil fuels can be replaced by using this regenerative form of energy. A modern wind turbine generates electricity for around 2,500 households without pollutants, exhaust fumes or waste – compared to conventional power generation, it saves around 4,000 tons ofCO2 per year.

To date, Energiewerkstatt has carried out over 500 wind measurements in sometimes impassable terrain and under challenging climatic conditions throughout Europe and beyond. Potential analyses (feasibility studies, approval planning, due diligence) and expert reports (shadow impact, ice fall risk, fire risk, wind zones, machine breakage) based on these measurements form the basis for further services such as detailed planning and ultimately the successful construction and operation of the wind turbines.

Precision in the run-up

Wind measurement

The basis for every reliable yield forecast is our precise wind measurement. With site-specific measurement concepts, we offer the highest possible data availability and therefore planning reliability:

  • Measuring masts up to 180 m
  • Measuring masts for locations with icing conditions
  • LIDAR and SODAR
    Measurements
  • Class 1 measuring devices
  • Customized external power supply systems

Over 500 measurement projects around the globe underline our expertise in wind measurement.

Sound theory and practical know-how

Expert opinions, statements and studies

To prepare expert reports, we combine site-specific knowledge with meteorological measurements and data from existing wind turbines. Our evaluations include a review of theoretical results based on practical experience. We create

  • Bankable energy yield reports (optionally based on CFD simulations)
  • Wind zone expertise
  • Extreme wind expertise
  • Noise and shadow assessments
  • Ice fall and ice throw reports for risk assessment
  • Fire risk reports, machine breakage reports
  • Feasibility studies, profitability analyses, project audits (due diligences)
  • GIS potential analyses

Headwind? No problem!

Planning, project development

We are just as happy to carry out an environmental impact assessment (EIA) for large wind farms as we are to plan the approval of a single turbine. In addition to technical planning services, we also support our customers with further services in the course of project development. This includes the entire project coordination, including communication with all stakeholders and quality assurance for your project.

  • Design planning to clarify legal and technical requirements
  • Design, rezoning and EIS/legal planning
  • Submission and approval planning
  • Collauding

Clients benefit from our decades of experience during implementation.

We have numerous references in Austria, Italy, Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria and Romania for the planning, approval and implementation of wind energy projects.

Applied research that benefits all sides

Research

Energiewerkstatt has been initiating, coordinating and collaborating on national and international research projects in the field of wind energy for 30 years now. We incorporate our practical expertise into this application-oriented research.

Conversely, our involvement in research projects enables us to participate directly in scientific developments. This enables us to offer our customers state-of-the-art solutions.

  • Focus on risk analyses
  • GIS potential analyses
  • Focus on complex terrain
  • Focus on icing
