DNV GL has assessed the first renewable energy project controllers with its mobile test stand solution at EnoEnergy’s at Gridmaster park in Germany.
The mobile solution allows the testing of controllers – which coordinate tasks between components in wind and solar farms to optimise power output – on site and helps to reduce opportunity costs and costs arising from the transport of the components to be tested, DNV GL said.
DNV GL Energy executive vice president Central Europe, Mediterranean and Latin America Andreas Schroter said: “The global energy transition will only succeed if it is financially viable.
“That is why increasing process efficiency and reducing logistics in renewable projects are instrumental in making renewable energy projects more economical for manufacturers.
“We are pleased that our solution can be used not only in isolation as an individual component but also flexibly and internationally.
“In the future, it will thus be possible for both manufacturers and operators of grids and facilities to check individual third-party controllers or their park controllers.”
