Consulting

Four pillars of physics-based risk engineering.

For a developer, the analysis that wins a competitive bid and gets the design right. For an insurer or broker, the number they can price and place. Site-specific risk, asset reliability, coupled loads, and high-fidelity simulation — each resolved from the physics up and delivered as a document built to survive scrutiny.

Site-specific risk

Site-specific Risk Assessment

Physics-based hazard, exposure, and damage for a named asset, lease area, or portfolio — the analysis a developer can stake a competitive bid on, and the number an MGA can price on, a broker can place with, and a lender's independent engineer will accept. Certification-grade engineering, not a loss history that doesn't cover the asset.

  • EML, PML & return-period loss curves Site-specific extreme-weather hazard convolved with asset fragility — EML, PML, and exceedance curves for the actual machine at the actual site.
  • Downtime & business interruption exposure Physics-based failure and repair timelines as downtime distributions — how likely an outage is to outrun the BI waiting period, and what mitigation changes it.
  • Risk engineering reports for placement The audit-ready risk story that moves an underwriting table — margins, mitigation, and monitoring evidence, detailed enough to challenge and transparent enough to defend.

Coupled multiphysics

Coupled aeroelastic loads & floating dynamics

Aero-elastic simulation for onshore and offshore turbines; aero-hydro-servo-elastic coupling for floating platforms; site-specific design verification across regimes.

  • Coupled aero-hydro-servo-elastic simulation Turbine, controller, platform, hydrodynamic, and mooring response resolved together. Fatigue and extreme-load envelopes built from first principles.
  • Motion-aware wake interaction For floating arrays where platform pitch and surge change the wake shape; standard wake models systematically miss this.
  • Site-specific design verification Load case analysis with measured site conditions, atmospheric stability effects, and reference-case calibration.
Reliability engineering

Asset reliability, availability & lifetime engineering

A component-level view of what installed assets actually do over their lifetime — reliability modelled as an engineering question, turbine by turbine, with the same aeroelastic physics that drives certification, not portfolio statistics fit to loss data.

  • Component-level damage modelling Site-specific fatigue and damage progression on blade root, drivetrain, bearings, tower, foundation — and, for floating, mooring.
  • Availability & downtime distributions Physics-based failure timing translated into availability distributions and OPEX-uncertainty bands a technical reviewer can defend.
  • Lifetime extension & repowering Load reassessment and remaining-life estimation for ageing fleets — the analysis that has to survive scrutiny from owners, certifiers, and lenders.

Simulation & certification

High-fidelity simulation, AI surrogates & certification

Farm-scale LES, mesoscale-to-microscale coupling, machine-learning surrogates, and extreme-weather modelling translated into design loads, IEC compliance documentation, and technical due diligence.

  • Farm-scale LES & mesoscale-to-microscale coupling Plant-level wake interaction with AMR-Wind, OpenFOAM, and FAST.Farm; WRF-driven boundary conditions for site-specific resource and extreme-event reconstruction.
  • AI surrogates for design loops Neural and reduced-order models trained on high-fidelity simulations — design-loop speed with first-principles physics underneath.
  • Extreme weather, certification & due diligence Tropical-cyclone hazard modelling, load case analysis aligned with IEC 61400-1 / 61400-3-1, and independent technical review of design and certification submissions.
How to engage

Four ways to work with us.

Small firms don't need another framework agreement — they need an answer, priced and scheduled. Every engagement starts with a short scoping call and a fixed quote. No discovery phases, no surprise day counts.

If the question turns out not to need us, we'll say so on the first call.

  • 01

    Fixed-scope study

    A defined question — one site, one asset, one hazard — answered in a fixed time at a fixed price. The workhorse engagement for underwriting and placement deadlines.

  • 02

    Expert review / second opinion

    Days, not months: an independent read of a submission, certification package, or third-party study, with a written opinion you can circulate.

  • 03

    Fractional specialist retainer

    A standing slice of specialist time each month — technical questions answered as they arise, submissions triaged, renewals supported. Senior capability without the senior hire.

  • 04

    White-label partnership

    For consultancies: we run the analysis, you own the client and the report. Confidential, conflict-checked, and invisible to your competitors.

Why the numbers hold

Analysis that survives due diligence.

Every number we hand over eventually meets a skeptic — an underwriter's referral desk, a lender's independent engineer, a certifier. Ours are built for that room. The credibility is in the method, not the letterhead:

  • First-principles physics — hazard and response resolved from the ground up, not fitted to a short loss history.
  • Open, auditable tools — the same national-lab codebases the industry certifies against, not black boxes a reviewer cannot open.
  • Documented and reproducible — every assumption stated, every result a third party can re-run and defend.
