Nine deep dives take one representative 2.1 GW offshore concession from a business-as-usual design towards a lower-cost grid connection. This post explains what Rezo is, why the case exists and where to start.

On many high voltage projects, the delivery of power transformers and other HV equipment now drives the energisation date. Drawing on our project experience, we set out three strategies to take long-lead equipment off the critical path, the specification pitfall to avoid, and how to manage the risk that comes with ordering early.

Last week Stephen Hardy represented Enersynt at the 25th Wind & Solar Integration Workshop in Porto, presenting work on how export technology and substation siting should be decided jointly, not in sequence. Using Rezo, our cloud-based optimisation platform, on a representative 2.1 GW test case, we showed that HVAC and HVDC have different cost-optimal positions and the lower cost technology can flip depending on where the substation is sited.

Enersynt will be in Hamburg and Porto this autumn discussing some of the challenges that matter most to renewable projects: grid connection, grid compliance, transmission design and electrical system optimisation. Meet our team, see how Rezo identifies cost-saving opportunities, and exchange ideas on the future of grid-integrated renewables.

Insights from the Field is Enersynt's new engineering blog, sharing practical lessons from grid connection, transmission, offshore wind, HVDC, BESS and renewable energy projects. Written by the engineers who deliver the work, these articles focus on real project experience, technical challenges and the decisions that matter most.
