WindEnergy Hamburg and the Wind & Solar Integration Workshop
Autumn 2026 brings two of the wind sector's most important gatherings back to back, and Enersynt will be at both. These events provide a great opportunity to discuss some of the challenges shaping renewable energy projects today: grid connection and grid code compliance, electrical system optimisation and the growing need to balance technical performance with project timelines and economics.I f you are attending either, we would be glad to meet. Reach out here or via our LinkedIn to set up a time and place. Interested in a live demo of Rezo, our cloud-based optimisation platform? Book a Rezo demo here.
WindEnergy Hamburg, 22 to 25 September
Stéphane Marchand, our Operations Director, will be representing Enersynt at WindEnergy Hamburg, one of the leading meeting points for the onshore and offshore wind industry.
We see Hamburg as an opportunity to discuss the engineering challenges increasingly shaping project viability:
- How developers can navigate increasingly complex grid connection requirements
- Approaches to grid code compliance that reduce technical and commercial risk
- The impact of transformer, cable and switchgear supply chain constraints on project decisions
- How longer equipment lead times should influence electrical system architecture and procurement strategy
- Opportunities to optimise electrical systems and avoid unnecessary CAPEX
- The role of simulation and optimisation tools such as Rezo in evaluating design alternatives before major commitments are made
- Integrating wind, solar and BESS assets within evolving grid and market requirements
We'll also be discussing how Rezo can help developers evaluate electrical design decisions earlier and more thoroughly. By exploring thousands of system configurations, Rezo helps identify cost-optimal solutions and can reveal opportunities to avoid unnecessary expenditure on cables, substations and transmission infrastructure.
If you're facing grid connection challenges, preparing compliance studies, or looking for ways to improve project economics, we'd be delighted to continue the conversation in Hamburg.
Wind & Solar Integration Workshop, Porto,
29 September to 2 October
The following week, Stephen Hardy, our Senior Electrical and Optimization Engineer, will be in Porto for the 25th Wind & Solar Integration Workshop, presenting a poster from our latest work on offshore export and inter-array system optimisation.
The paper asks a deceptively simple question: where should the offshore substation go, and does that choice change which export technology is cheapest? Using Rezo, our cloud-based optimisation platform, we evaluated the complete electrical design at every candidate substation position across a representative 2.1 GW concession, for both HVAC and HVDC export at two collection voltages, 66 and 132 kV. The result is that the cost optimal position is a different place for each technology, and within a single concession, the export system technology choice resulting in the lowest overall cost can flip depending on where the substation sits. Comparing options at a single point, the way it is usually done, can quietly select the wrong technology and leave hundreds of millions of euros on the table.
It is a technical audience in Porto, and exactly the right room to pressure test the method. If you work on offshore transmission, substation siting, or the AC versus DC decision, come and find Stephen at the poster. We would genuinely value the conversation.
Come and say hello
Enersynt helps wind and renewable projects get their electrical design right. Whether you catch us in Hamburg or Porto, we would be glad to talk through your project or simply compare notes on where the industry is heading. Not attending either? Get in touch and we can set up a call instead.
