CONSULTANCY Services

Harnessing the Power of Onshore Renewables

Over the years Engineering Power Solutions (EPS) has provided engineering and design services to innumerable onshore renewable projects across the UK. With the ever-growing adoption of green energies such as solar PV, onshore wind farms, anaerobic digestion, and hydroelectric energy, we are committed to providing innovative solutions which optimise performance and the overall cost-effectiveness of your electrical infrastructure.

Solar Farms

EPS collaborates extensively with clients to better understand their energy demands, grid connection viability, regulatory benchmarks, and long-term sustainability goals. Our electrical engineering consultancy and design services are tailored to support the further development and optimisation of solar projects across the UK. We have extensive experience in planning, modelling, and designing photovoltaic (PV) solar farms.

Leveraging cutting-edge technologies  such as ETAP and DIgSILENT, our highly skilled power system consultants handle everything from initial site surveys and feasibility studies to full electrical engineering design.

Wind Farms

Harnessing wind energy is a crucial element in complying with the UKs ambitious sustainability goals, which requires the deployment of wind turbines on a large scale. These initiatives can be realised through the strategic implementation of wind farms in areas consistent with strong winds.

As a trusted extension to your organisation, EPS’s power system consultants ensure the performance of your assets meets the criteria set by Distribution Network Operators (DNOs), or the National Grid. We offer technical support, including detailed design, earthing studies, transformer energisation studies.

Partner With An Established Leader In Electrical Engineering Consultancy and Design

With over a decade of experience spanning hundreds of energy projects, EPS is your trusted partner in powers systems design and electrical engineering consultation services. Using electrical engineering software such as SKM Power Tools, ETAP, ERACs, IPSA or DigSILENT our chartered electrical engineers can provide you with a study report for your power system.

Whether it’s a power system study for the entire wind farm, solar farm, hydro electrical distribution system or a modification/ expansion to your electrical asset, EPS can provide you with the following technical services:

  • Transformer energisation studies.
  • Load flow analysis studies.
  • Short circuit studies.
