Renewable energies

Artificial lakes and hydropower plants are fed-in by precipitation and thaw, wind and solar power plants are driven by wind or global radiation. If weather conditions evolve differently than expected, companies are facing financial losses, production and sales difficulties. In order to be informed about the weather situation in due time, EWC provides standard products and customised solutions for wind, solar and hydropower covering all business processes: site assessment analyses, location-specific measurements for installation, maintenance and technical operation, performance forecasts, etc.
