Independent wind farm engineering and analytics, led by a Chartered Engineer, free of OEM and O&M conflicts.
Large enterprise platforms offer automation at scale. Major consultancies offer breadth.
PowerVeritas occupies the space between, providing deep, rigorous analysis of a specific site or portfolio, interpreted by a Chartered Engineer and delivered in a form that stands up to scrutiny, without the overhead of either.
PowerVeritas is an engineering advisory practice. The output is analysis and judgement for the asset owner, not inspection, testing or certification.
PowerVeritas has no relationship with the OEM or O&M contractor whose work it examines. If a performance review produces no actionable findings there is no fee. Findings are usable in contract, warranty and lender conversations.
A Chartered Engineer reads the data and reaches the conclusions. Clients receive judgement and context, not a dashboard of notifications.
Findings are traceable from input data to conclusion and suitable for board papers, lender reporting and contractual disputes. The aim is to identify where energy and value are being lost and to quantify the opportunity accurately.
Most wind farm performance data comes from the OEM / O&M contractor. Those parties operate the assets and often have limited financial incentive to flag their own underperformance. PowerVeritas provides independent third party analysis of SCADA data, giving owners a defensible view of how their assets are actually performing.
Independent review matters across the asset lifecycle. Monthly performance monitoring, acquisition, refinancing, contract renewal, warranty claim, end of warranty, life extension decisions and periods when production has underperformed budget.
Robert is a Chartered Mechanical Engineer with an MEng in Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering from the University of Cambridge.
He has spent over ten years in the energy industry, most recently as Mechanical Technical Authority and asset integrity and condition monitoring lead at SSE, the UK’s largest wind operator. Before that he was Rotating Equipment Technical Authority at Shell.
As a director of a small operational wind turbine business, Robert brings an owner’s perspective alongside the technical expertise, with the same concerns about yield, availability and lifecycle cost that clients face directly. PowerVeritas advises wind farm owners because its founder is one.
