Engineering for Today and Tomorrow
Finding the right engineering team for development of a wind energy project is important. Our team consists of Professional Engineers (PEs) in a wide range of engineering fields from environmental to mechanical to electrical. Having these experts in-house allows us to tap their skills at all stages of development, adding considerable value to a project.
Electrical engineering is one of our strengths, and is critical for interconnecting our projects to the power grid. We have worked extensively on wind and conventional energy projects providing over 1400MW of power and have projects in the works totaling almost 2000MW.
While it’s important to be up-to-date on standard industry practices in wind energy-related engineering, we also pride ourselves in being innovative. We have developed EcoNet, a unique, patent-pending design for a power collection network. EcoNet minimizes power loss, reduces capital costs., minimizes the overall life cycle cost, and ensures the reliability of a power collection network. The system uses fewer, more efficient transformers coupled with parallel current paths that reduce conductor current and provide added system reliability.
Our engineering capabilities include:
- Utility Interconnection Assessment
- Power system engineering studies.
- Design of industrial medium-voltage switchgear, protective relaying and collection systems.
- Combined heat and power system design for maximum energy utilization.
- Design of intelligent switchgear that enhances reliability, automates electrical fault recovery and reduces energy cost.
- Emergency and standby generating system design that protects safety and productivity, including black-start generation systems and UPS (uninterruptible power supply) installations.
The EcoEnergy electrical engineering “toolbox” includes the latest software applications such as Power*Tools for Windows, PSS/E, CYMCAP and MathCAD, enabling our staff to analyze problems and design solutions for generation projects of all sizes.

Connecting is critical
EcoEnergy’s engineering team understands the vital nature of interconnecting to the utility grid. It is a fundamental component of any energy system, whether it involves on-site customer electrical generating facilities or independent power stations.
Successful interconnection requires not only engineering expertise, but a strong understanding of the detailed "ins and outs" of power generation. It is a complex process…and should be considered very early in the planning stages.
