A passion for optimisation
Solutions to push the boundaries
Throughout the life cycle of the assets, the Engineering department provides customised analytics and optimisation solutions to increase the efficiency of their power plants.
Activities are divided into four main components: data control and analysis, development of monitoring tools, technical auditing and research and development (R&D).
Around ten engineers are working on optimising repatriation tools and data analysis.
Three experts are working on the development and installation of monitoring tools and two engineers coordinate the technical auditing. This activity involves some twenty experts who work across our maintenance bases in mainland France

Wind farm
Ten nacelle alignment measurement campaigns were carried out at the Ablaincourt wind farm, located in the Somme in France, which is composed of 10 NORDEX N131 wind turbines with 3.6 MW of power per unit. These campaigns made it possible to check the alignment of the wind turbines with the wind direction and to optimise the total production by 2.3%.
Photovoltaic park
A monitoring tool has been developed to monitor the 34 MWp Mézos and Pinvert power plant located in Les Landes. The tool is used to monitor delivery stations, inverters and trackers, to implement the DEIE interface and control reactive energy.
Hydroelectric power plant
Vibration analyses were carried out on the 16 hydro-electric plants in the FHA portfolio located in Guadeloupe. The total capacity of these 16 power plants is 10 MW. These vibration analyses made it possible to check the mechanical condition of all the kinematic chains.
