SSOE provided on-site assistance at the fist beta site unit which has prepared this company for additional installations and further enhancements to the turbine and balance of system design.

Wind Energy Corporation executed a multiphase project at two separate locations. SSOE provided design and application engineering services for a new vertical axis wind turbine. In the first phase of the retrofit project, SSOE optimized the design of the turbine unit, its structural supports, and power electronics integration. In addition, the project scope included the complete integration of the prototype vertical axis wind sail system. SSOE also provided inverter specification, electrical permit drawings, and controls system development.

As part of SSOE’s Value Promise, SSOE provided on-site assistance at the first beta site unit, which prepared this company for additional installations and further enhancements to the turbine and balance of system design.

For the second phase of the project, SSOE delivered product development support which required multidiscipline team coordination. This effort included control and transmission development, inverter specifications, and system integration for planned installations – executed by our electrical controls team. SSOE’s structural team provided specifications for tower mounting and building integration. By utilizing a planned installation project delivery method, SSOE delivered the project on schedule, which was based on timelines and critical milestones.
