Wind Farms

Tecnoconsult's expertise and experience also extend to the engineering design of Offshore Wind Farms, including both fixed-bottom and floating foundation solutions.

The company's expertise has been developed through participation in major studies and successful projects within the offshore wind energy sector.

In the field of Wind Resource Assessment, Tecnoconsult performs detailed wind resource analyses based on LIDAR measurements or international datasets such as ERA5 and MERRA, using specialist software including WindSim® and mesoscale WRF models.

The company also has extensive experience in Scouring & Intervention Work, covering the protection of offshore cables and structures against the effects of currents, waves, seabed erosion, and interactions with existing assets.

Engineering activities include geological and geotechnical studies for subsea infrastructure, route development, and shore approach engineering using trenchless technologies such as HDD and microtunnelling.

Tecnoconsult also performs Navigation Risk Assessments through AIS data analysis and collision risk evaluations involving vessels, wind farms, and submarine cable systems.

The company's capabilities also include visibility analyses, 3D rendering, photomontages, hillshade studies, and visual impact assessments considering terrain morphology and the Earth's curvature.

Tecnoconsult also carries out studies on the hydrodynamic effects of offshore wind farms on waves and coastal currents to assess potential coastal erosion.

Installation Analysis activities include J-Tube pull-in analysis, cable laying and installation engineering, assessment of static, dynamic, and fatigue loads, environmental load evaluations, and the design of cable protection systems, bend stiffeners, and bend restrictors.

The company also performs mooring analyses for floating wind turbines and offshore substations, taking into account the effects of waves, currents, wind, electrical cables, and mooring systems.

Its expertise further includes the engineering design of offshore and onshore substations, including foundations, structures, HVAC systems, cable routing, and interference studies.

Tecnoconsult also provides support for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) studies, permitting processes, CAPEX evaluations, and project scheduling.
