Turbine Engineering

At LOC Renewables our wind turbine engineers have detailed knowledge of wind turbine functionality and loading, and consequently have the expertise to optimise wind farm design and operations. We have performed a wide range of turbine design and suitability studies for both offshore and onshore projects.

Our wind turbine engineers contribute to the definition of standards for the design and installation of bottom-fixed and floating wind turbines. We are able to assess site conditions relative to type class conditions and as input to the support structure design process. For wind farm locations subject to tropical cyclones or seismic events we are able to define inputs to the design process, to assess risks for existing structures and to advise on implications for construction operations.
