RENEWABLES ENERGY

Diagnosing wind power production and boosting performance

We carefully monitor and study wind power facilities so as to understand the intricacies of how their assets work. We support predictive maintenance to enhance performance and provide more reliable forecasting models.

Measuring wind power resources and assessing energy performance

We conduct wind power resource studies, measurement campaigns and site verification so as to minimize investment uncertainties for wind farm promoters.

Power curve

We are experts in conducting tests to see how well a wind turbine is really performing. We follow a working procedure that conforms to the latest international standards according to MEASNET and ENAC accreditation.

INDUSTRY 4.0

Monitoring energy in industrial plants

We offer companies guidance on how to gather and analyse information regarding energy and processes so as to boost financial returns by digitising systems towards the Industry 4.0.

CFD simulation

We are specialists in analysing combustion systems using fluid-dynamic simulation, which helps to enhance equipment efficiency and design while keeping emissions and soiling under control.

Image-based diagnosis in energy-intensive industries

CIRCE has developed two imaging tools intended to boost process efficiency in energy-intensive industries.

Real-time web SCADA: Control and supervision

A comprehensive system for advanced real-time monitoring and management of micro-grids and smart grid facilities.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Energy auditing

Our energy audits follow European directives and help clients to make decisions regarding energy efficiency measures by revealing specific details on a facility’s energy performance and operation.

Implementing ISO 50001

We guide companies through the process of implementing energy management systems, providing them with the structure and procedures they need to enhance energy performance in their facilities.

Monitoring and managing energy

We offer guidance for companies on how to gather and analyse information regarding energy and processes so as to boost financial returns by digitising systems towards the Industry 4.0.

Certifying energy auditors

The ENAC has granted us accreditation to certify energy auditors. This means that the professionals we certify can prove that they meet the requirements established by European directives to carry out this service.

CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Analysing material criticality

We use our own methodology to identify the environmental and socio-economic risks posed by a product’s materials, based on which we will issue a series of eco-design recommendations to make them more recyclable and minimize production costs.

Analysing environmental factors and costs of products, processes and services

Our Life-Cycle Cost Analysis studies reveal the environmental impact and costs that will arise throughout the value chain in order to develop strategies to reduce them.

SMART GRIDS

RTDS testing

We conduct real-time lab simulations to assess how smart equipment will behave and interact when implemented in the electric grid before being marketed.

Grid studies

We boast a wealth of experience in simulating and modelling power electronics systems, and we have all of the tools needed to conduct any kind of test according to each client’s needs.

Substation engineering

We are specialists in power engineering and civil engineering standardization, as well as control and protection, standard set-ups in control and protection equipment, and preparing all of the documentation involved in an electric substation project.

Electromagnetic fields

Thanks to our proprietary validated software, we can conduct 3D simulations in high, medium or low voltage electric facilities and calculate electric fields to ensure compliance with specific regulatory requirements.

Electric supply reliability and continuity

We conduct all kinds of planning, coordination, analysis, review and maintenance studies on the grid’s protective system to ensure supply reliability and continuity in generation, transport and distribution grids.

Power Quality – Tests and Electrical Calibrations

One of the most experienced technological services, demonstrated since 2005, and with a technical team specialized in Network Quality regulations, we can carry out accredited measurement campaigns according to the specific needs of each client. In the same way, we offer low voltage and low frequency electrical calibration services under the ENAC seal, both in the laboratory and at the customer’s facilities.

Protection standardization

We boast a wealth of experience in simulating and modelling power electronics systems, and we have all of the tools needed to conduct any kind of test according to each client’s needs.

IEC 61850 Software Solutions Suite

We have developed a package of software solutions to work with the GOOSE protocol, making it easier to obtain, visualize, exchange and handle information regarding IEC 61859 grids and equipment.

IEC 61850 substations

We take care of everything from designing and functionally adapting a substation to setting up and validating the equipment under standard IEC 61850.
