Expertise for renewable energy

The increased interest in using wind or sun energy to create electric and/or heat power is relied with the expected economic benefit. For authentic valuation of the economy efficacy of a project, the resources should be very well known. In this case that would be data about the regime of the shining of the sun and the wind for this specific region. The existing opinion that those resources are enough for the territory of Bulgaria might have bad economic consequences when the valuation about concrete spot is not done properly. Regarding to the shining of the sun, which has small space variations, using climate data for the region might ensure relatively reliable information. Authentic valuation for profitableness of constructing sun installation could be obtained only after some additional, control measurements and statistic calculations.

In terms of wind characteristics of which have very large horizontal inhomogeneity, using climate data for the whole region will most likely lead to a very unexpected result for the investor in real operation. Although everyone has heard about the local characteristics of the wind (bora, fyon, breezes, valley winds) can still be found projects based only on wind data from "near point" at a distance of 10-50 km. from the point of building a wind plant.

It follows that the economic evaluation of such a project has a strong probabilistic nature equal to the probability of the same characteristics of the wind in two points, often with significant differences in topography. The reason for this approach to the investors most often associated with the fact that they can not organize complex than prior research and expertise.

Consortium "MS&E" can solve those problems for you by:

- Making expert valuation of the available data for the respective region

- Planning the necessary experimental researches for valuation of the local characteristics of the respective meteorological element

- Providing the necessary technical equipment for the preliminary examination

- Making quantity valuation of the meteorological resources and prepare the necessary database for the producer, in order to make assessment of the economic efficacy of its future exploitation.
