Wind Fast-evolving technology, rising fuel prices and changing regulations are bringing a remarkable evolution in wind-based power generation.
International standards now guarantee both greater safety and common methods for determining wind turbine performance and design. The power rating of wind turbines has increased rapidly: from 200 kW in 1990 to today's state-of-the-art 5 MW prototypes. It is expected that global wind power generation capacity will surpass 120 GW by the year 2010.
Relying on its international, independent and multidisciplinary expertise, Tractebel Engineering can help you select the optimal solution from a wide range of alternatives, both on- and off-shore (including undersea foundations and transmission systems). We support you throughout your project, providing assistance not only with technical issues but also in environmental, social and legal matters. We make sure your project is feasible, yielding maximum economic return and minimal risk.
Our wind energy team offers support to project developers at any stage of a wind farm project. From the initial site selection and licensing to realisation and commissioning, Tractebel Engineering is your partner, either as consultant, architect engineer or owner's engineer.
Biomass Interest in biomass power generation is growing as conventional fuel costs rise and sustainability moves to the top of the agenda. Exploitable raw material may be available close to your site, for example in the form of timber refuse, agricultural waste, water treatment sludge or paper cellulose. Tractebel Engineering is already involved in biomass generation projects in various countries, including both biogas and solid biomass projects.
As your partner, Tractebel Engineering offers independent advice to help you choose, develop and implement the optimal solution for biomass exploitation. We provide a wide range of competencies to assist you through the development and construction phases of your installations and in their operation and maintenance.
