  • Sgurrenergy's Galion Lidar Produces First Ever Image of Multiple Offshore Wakes
    PRESS RELEASE Date 10 Jan 2013 SgurrEnergy’s Galion Lidar produces first ever image of multiple offshore wakes SgurrEnergy’s 2nd generation wind Lidar, the Galion, has been used to produce the first image of multiple offshore wind turbine wakes ever captured by a scanning Lidar device. The unique image was revealed by the wind Lidar research group at the Stuttgart Wind Energy department (SWE) at Stuttgart University in Germany, which is using SgurrEnergy’s Galion Lidar in a groundbreaking offshore wind energy research campaign being conducted at the Baltic-1 wind farm in the German Baltic Sea. The campaign, run by SWE and funded by the German national environment department, aims to learn about controlling and improving offshore wind farms’ efficiency and availability and the durability of their wind turbine generators (WTGs). It is the first time an entire offshore wind farm has been observed simultaneously by SCADA, long range Lidar and load measurements on certain selected WTGs. This will allow measurements of the wind resource and the WTGs’ wakes and loads to be directly related to each other, something that has previously never been done in the industry. In order to conduct this groundbreaking research, SWE is using a G4000 offshore Galion wind Lidar, pioneered by renewable energy consultancy SgurrEnergy. The Galion is providing essential data on WTG wakes, park wakes and wind profiles, which are dependent on water temperature and air layering. Jan Anger of SWE said “At present SgurrEnergy’s Galion Lidar is the only wind-scanning device in the industry that fits the measurement requirements for the Baltic-I research project.

  • South American Move for Sgurrenergy
    PRESS RELEASE 26 October 2015 South American move for SgurrEnergy Leading renewable energy consultancy, SgurrEnergy, has announced the opening of a new office in Santiago, Chile, signalling a strategic move to further develop its South American base. The Wood Group company is already working across Chile on both wind and solar projects and this new office will help to support its growing client base. SgurrEnergy’s Vincent Burgmeier, an experienced renewable energy engineer currently based in the Paris office, will head up SgurrEnergy’s presence in Chile. The office space will be shared with SgurrEnergy’s Chilean partner, Coener. Vincent will be present at Chile’s leading renewable energy event, CIREC, from 27-28 October in order to meet potential new business partners and further establish SgurrEnergy within the South American renewable energy sector. SgurrEnergy will offer a full range of services in the region, with the support of its South American partners, focusing on technical engineering and advisory work in the growing wind, solar and hydro markets. The move follows an increase in SgurrEnergy’s pipeline of projects in the region and will enable enhanced local delivery of projects in Chile. In particular, the business will use its reputation for robust, accurate advice to support clients in optimisation of wind farm performance using their SgurrOptimiser package of performance improvement services, and remote sensing products such as leading lidar device, Galion Lidar. The Scottish-headquartered company aims to capitalise on the recent growth in renewable energy developments in Chile. The government passed a law in 2013 stating that Chile must source 20% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2025 and the country is working towards this target.

  • Sgurrenergy Secures Race Bank Construction and Operations Monitoring Contract
    PRESS RELEASE For immediate release 22nd March 2017 SgurrEnergy secures Race Bank construction and operations monitoring contract SgurrEnergy, part of Wood Group’s clean energy business, has been awarded the construction monitoring contract of one of the UK’s largest offshore wind farms, which will be followed by a 15-year operations monitoring phase. Located almost 17 miles off the Norfolk coast, Race Bank Wind Farm’s offshore array will comprise of 91 state-of-the-art Siemens 6.3MW wind turbines and is expected to generate enough electricity for up to 400,000 homes across the UK. The renewable energy and grid integration consultancy helped bring the project to financial close for Firebolt RB Holdings Limited - the investment holding company owned by Macquarie Capital and Macquarie European Infrastructure Fund 5. Acting as technical advisor, SgurrEnergy’s engineers and consultants provided technical due diligence during the acquisition and project finance phases of the project. SgurrEnergy carried out a review of key technical and commercial aspects of the project including permits and consenting, civil, electrical and mechanical design, project participants, construction and project contracts, project schedule, operations and maintenance and a financial model review. The scope of the construction monitoring assignment includes regular monitoring of construction and installation, checking progress and confirming consistency with the final design and undertaking site visits including factory and a construction site visit. Marc Costa Ros, project manager at SgurrEnergy, said: “As one of the UK’s largest offshore wind farms, Race Bank Wind Farm has the potential to make a real difference to the environment by providing clean, sustainable and predictable power for homes across the UK.

The goal of this study was to understand the potential scale of the offshore wind sector and the economic effects related to offshore wind capacity and industry development in Scotland. To this end, IPA modelled a range of scenarios for Scottish offshore wind industry development out to 2020. The scenarios provide four alternative futures for the Scottish offshore wind industry. Scenario A gives a vision of the benefits that Scotland can achieve if it takes decisive steps now. This can be contrasted with our other scenarios. Scenario B demonstrates the effects of more moderate offshore wind development. In Scenario C, Scotland fails to capture the economic benefits of offshore wind development, in much the same way as the onshore wind industry today. The lowest case, Scenario D, shows the consequences if Scotland does not act on the opportunities presented by offshore wind and has few successful projects developed and limited supply chain.
