SoWiTec Group services

SOWITEC develops wind farms in Germany to support the diversity of energy sources and renewable energies policy of the government. Currently we focus on planning activities in the counties around Sonnenbühl including the regional authorities Neckar-Alb, Donau-Iller and Bodensee-Oberschwaben (lake constance-upper Swabia). We have numerous projects in preparation; the extent of SOWITEC`s wind power development plans currently amounts to some 250 wind turbines with a nominated capacity of up to 750 MW.

SOWITEC project has been involved in project engineering, design and construction of wind farms in Germany for several years. Our skilled team draws back on more than 15 years of experience. This ensures a diligent and profound realization of all planning phases. SOWITEC projekt provides the full range of engineering services for wind farm development and realisation. The complete Balance-of-Plant schedule, from civil engineering, road access, foundations to the entire electrical infrastructure planning, is processed and monitored by internal SOWITEC engineers. Coordination and observation of external specialists like for example geotechnical experts and surveyors are as well part of the duties of our engineering department.

The wind and site assessment is the first examination for each designated wind power project, to ensure a proper technical implementation and guarantee economical feasibility. As internal service provider, we perform a detailed validation for each of SOWITEC`s projects including all relevant meteorological and geographical characteristics, the wind profile, air density, temperature, digital terrain model, roughness, grid connection, access roads, etc.

During the wind farm conception, the so-called `micrositing`, appropriate wind turbines are defined for each site and the configuration (the `wind farm layout`) is optimised in accordance with existing wind conditions, topography and infrastructure. We prepare as well wind resource assessments upon international standards to ensure a solid basis further project development steps up to the commissioning date of each wind farm.
