1. Before Repowering is considered as a solution, condition assessment is made, involving inspection of the existing turbines, foundations, and mechanical infrastructure to determine which assets can be reused or upgraded and what requires a total exchange. In this process we determine whether the turbine is suitable for Lifetime Extension or Repowering.
2. If the condition assessment proves that Repowering is the most viable solution, we offer to perform a compliance review, that ensures confirmation and adherence to local, state, and federal regulations, including environmental laws and land-use restrictions, before and actual feasibility study of repowering is performed.
3. When we have a layout of the full compliance overview, we know which regulations we must consider to make sure the repowering solution will be approved. These conditions are evaluated in the assessment and feasibility studies, to lay out the best combined solution for the specific site. We involve all necessary calculations, 2D/3D drawings, simulations, calculations, and validations of the solution, before a final regulatory approval.
4. This phase includes that we create the documentation of the official repowering solution and obtain the updated construction, operating, and environmental permits.
