The replacement of
a power generation system by a new one
with better performances or different
technical characteristics that enhance
the attractiveness of the scheme is called “repowering”.
In the field of distributed
generation, repowering is a solution
more effective because schemes are small,
transaction and decommissioning costs
are high, conversion potential greater
and opportunities easier to address.
Therefore, distributed generation schemes
of mature technologies such as onshore
wind, CHP and landfill gas are likely
to be regularly repowered. EA Technology
has the capability to assist owners and
investors in ageing technology based
projects to harvest the full potential
of their assets.

In order
to address theses issues, we can establish
the synergies between the actual status
of the assets, the potential of new
technologies and the existing network. We
are therefore able to determine the level
of performance, compatibility, timing opportunity
and regulatory compliance of the implementation
in order to maximize the economics of the
project. (CBRM)
Our field of activities
includes:
- Onshore wind new generation
of turbines, with greater size and better
generation performances in order to allow
upgrading sites potentially requesting
fewer turbines (lower OPEX) while keeping
in place the existing infrastructure (higher
CAPEX). In the past few years for instance,
many first generation turbines have disappeared,
leaving space for smarter generators.
This trend will mechanically increase with
the ageing of existing
wind farms in the UK.
- Integration of alternative
fuel alongside and/or in replacement of
existing landfill gas. As the amount of
resources depletes in a waste based project,
assets might be driven harder if a cost
effective alternative such as biomass
is implemented. By extending the remaining
life of the scheme, it will reduce tremendously
the CAPEX per unit of energy produced,
thus leading to better return and reduced
risk.
- Transformation
of conventional CHP schemes with biomass
from various nature (crops, wood, waste
etc…).
As theses types of fuel are eligible for
ROCs and renewable energy development capital
grants, it will reduce CAPEX while increasing
the income per unit of energy. We have
full capability to establish the type of
fuel, supply roads, assets modification,
optimal thermal and electrical output as
well as its distribution to customers.
