Recent Projects

Wind expert on this project. Roles involve wind zone identification, design and implementation of wind measurement campaign, and wind resource assessment.

Viability assessment for wind power in Armenia including wind energy zones, wind measurement, environmental and social due diligence, preliminary grid integration and capacity building.

SINAR aims to accelerate sustainable energy deployments in Indonesia.  IWE is supporting this project in the areas of:

• Renewable energy development
• Grid integration of renewable energy

IWE is providing assistance to the USAID Power Central Asia project in Central Asian countries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan in the areas of: Grid integration of renewables, grid code interconnection guidelines for RE, RE Zones, RE roadmap, resource assessment of renewables, RE forecasting, Sizing of Reserves, Battery Energy Storage Systems, Smart grid, Demand response, Digitization, and training and capacity building.

The main objectives of the technical assistance are to:

IWE is providing assistance to the USAID Power the Future project in Central Asian countries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan in the areas of: Grid integration of renewables, grid code interconnection guidelines for RE, RE roadmap, planning and execution of reverse auction, assistance with technical issues in PPA, resource assessment of renewables, RE forecasting, Sizing of Reserves, Digitization, and training and capacity building.

Conducting an assessment of barriers to grid integration of variable renewable energy (VRE) with focus of forecasting.  Areas of involvement:  Integrating forecasting into unit commitment decisions, Policy differentiation between solar and wind forecasting requirements, Market operation support (dispatch interval), Percent deviation or tolerance band, Impact of percent deviation on absolute deviation (at state or grid level), and Point of prediction (not plant but sub-station level or grid node).  Countries of interest: Colombia, Mexico, India, Philippines and Vietnam.

• Grid Integration study for integration of 30 MW of wind in two phases, 15 MW each in 2018 and 2019
• Wind with Energy Storage
• Transient Stability Analysis
• Ramping analysis

The objectives are to determine the beneficial impact of energy storage in the integration of wind project into the grid.

Government of Guyana has embarked on a non-conventional Renewable Energy Technologies (RET) program.  One of the components of the RET program is to assess the wind energy potential in Guyana.  This will be accomplished through installation of 4 meteorological towers for measurement of wind and other weather related parameters.  With one year of measurement data from the four towers, a detailed wind resource assessment and wind resource map can be developed.

In this project, feed-in tariff and other incentives for wind energy and solar PV rooftop for both utility- and small-scale was developed using a benefits based approach.  Consultations were conducted with all stakeholders including government, developers, utility and others.  Advice to the government of Indonesia on implementation of the feed-in tariff and scaling up renewable energy was provided.

Under the ICED Project, Innovative Wind Energy, Inc. is working on Indonesia Wind Sector Impact Assessment. The objectives are to assist PLN (utility in Indonesia) in: (i) assessing wind resources at the proposed sites, (ii) analyzing the potential impacts on PLN’s power systems and determining the interconnection technical requirements for the proposed wind farms to ensure security, stability, and quality of the power grid, and (iii) recommending strategy for integrating the proposed wind farms into PLN’s power grid operation. This assignment will provide detailed assessment of the potential impacts of four distinct wind power projects, and develop recommendations to ensure that proposed wind farms can be interconnected and integrated into PLN’s power grids efficiently and cost-effectively.
