Engineering for Today and Tomorrow
Finding the right engineering team for an alternative energy project is a crucial decision. The right team should not only embrace change, welcome challenges and stick to tough schedules, but also focus on quality and be up-to-date on all the latest technology and engineering advancements in the energy realm. EcoEnergy Engineering is the right team.
Our team consists of Professional Engineers (PEs) in a
wide range of engineering fields from environmental to
mechanical to electrical. Because first-class
engineering is so critical to the success of an energy
project, we have chosen to have these experts in-house
where we can tap their skills at a moment’s notice. We
can add considerable value to a project with this level
of in-house support. When our engineers are involved in
the full range of integration from development through
commissioning and beyond, they can ensure that truly
nothing "falls between the cracks" in the efficiency of
the project.
First-rate environmental engineering is obviously
important to any alternative energy project – without
it, we could hardly claim to be improving our planet! We
use industry and governmental studies as well as our own
to make sure that we are siting facilities and equipment
properly, with minimal impact to local ecosystems.
Sophisticated software capabilities in this field allow
us to create numerous models to determine the best
alternatives for our projects.
In electrical engineering, one of our more singular
capabilities is interconnection to the power grid, one
of the most important aspects of any project and an
element that needs to be considered in the earliest
stages of project development for maximum project
effectiveness. We have worked extensively on both
alternative and conventional energy projects providing
over 1400MW of power and have projects in the works
totaling almost 3000MW.
While it’s important to be up-to-date on all the latest
innovations in alternative energy-related engineering,
we also pride ourselves in being innovative. In the wind
energy field, for example, we have developed a unique,
patent-pending design for a power collection network
that minimizes power loss while keeping initial costs
reasonable, minimizing overall life cycle cost, and
ensuring 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:
- Power system engineering studies.
- Design of industrial medium-voltage switchgear, utility interconnections (local or grid), 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.
- Energy storage system design that optimizes energy dispatch.
- Environmental study evaluation.
- Mechanical engineering expertise for analysis, design, construction and maintenance of energy systems’ mechanical systems.

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.
