For Business, Communities and Co-Ops
The wind industry is growing quickly. Most of this growth has been concentrated on utility scale wind farms, but smaller, distributed wind energy systems are becoming more common. Increasingly, businesses, co-operative groups and communities are realizing that wind turbines can help control rising energy costs.
For more than 8 years, the principals of Eon WindElectric have been working with distributed energy clients to determine the feasibility of adding wind turbines to their energy mix. We have installed turbines in 3 continents. Our team has the experience to guide clients through a feasibility assessment and if viable, on to development and installation.
As an alternative to fee for services, Eon WindElectric is also interested in developing equity partnerships with developers of distributed wind energy projects.
Our distributed wind energy project services include:
Pre Feasibility Study
A pre feasibility study will determine if a wind turbine installation meets basic technical and economic hurdles. This involves determining a facility’s energy requirements, approximate wind resource, identifying possible wind turbine suppliers and evaluating any economic or technical barriers.
Feasibility Study
Upon positive completion of a pre feasibility study, a more detailed feasibility analysis can
be completed. The goal at this stage would be to examine in detail the specifics of load
profile, turbine siting, wind resource assessment (often resulting in installation of a MET
tower), environmental issues, permitting requirements, interconnection issues, local bylaws
and the development of a project economic model.
Design
At this stage, Eon Windelectric will develop the drawings and specifications that will enable the installation team to safely and effectively construct the wind project.
Turbine Procurement, Installation and Commissioning
In today’s rapidly expanding wind energy industry, turbine supply can be a difficult issue, especially for smaller projects.
Eon WindElectric has developed relationships with a number of turbine manufacturers that enable us to procure the right turbine for a given project. Our experienced team can then manage the installation process from foundation to final commissioning.
