The principle responsibilities essentially includes -
Responsible for conducting due diligence of windfarms in operation or under-construction:
- Independently conduct site visits and assessments according to relevant IEC standards.
- Conduct complete turbine due diligence – including but not limited to: technology review, Machine Load Analysis (MLA), type tests review, component supply chain review, GTP and others, electrical and mechanical parameters.
- Review turbine load calculations to ensure that turbines operate within their design limits, considering site-specific conditions like extreme wind speeds, turbulence intensity, and temperature variations.
- Design and implement power curve testing procedures based on IEC 61400-12-1 standards or other relevant protocols, ensuring accurate assessment of turbine performance.
- Evaluate and advise on technical aspects of power purchase agreements, turbine supply agreements, service and maintenance contracts, and other related contracts.
- Review environmental impact assessments, particularly focusing on shadow flicker analysis, and acoustic studies to ensure the project's viability and minimal environmental disruption.
- Development of WTG Reliability models and reports
- Visit windfarms and conduct site-level audits and produce crisp reports.
- Collaborate with developers, manufacturers, consultants, and other stakeholders to gather necessary information and ensure transparency during the due diligence process.
- Evaluate the proposed operation and maintenance strategy, considering aspects like accessibility, spare parts availability, and local service capabilities.
Requirements
- Minimum bachelor’s degree in engineering (Mechanical Engineering).
-≥5 years of work experience in relevant industry based on responsibilities as stated above.
