We focus on accelerating the development of technologies from R&D to demonstration and then ultimately deployment.

Prototype development

Narec enables developers to achieve new breakthroughs in turbine design, prove new materials and meet the challenges of connecting larger amounts of wind generated electricity into grid networks.  Our electrical and turbine development facilities are located on the same site.

Services include:

• Performance characteristics assessment of materials used for blade construction
• Electrical engineering consultancy support and testing facilities for high voltage performance analysis and low voltage testing to address turbine performance and grid connection issues
• Prototype development at small and full scale
• Power conversion and drive train development
• Dynamic testing methodology and technology licensing
• Composite materials analysis
• Blade and mould integrity inspection

Electrical Connections

Narec has a global client base in the transmission and distribution industry and is an active member of CIGRE.  The integration of offshore renewables provides one of the biggest challenges for the network - Narec has led projects and is currently contributing to design work relating to offshore substations in this area.
