PRESS RELEASE: 3E is thrilled to announce its expansion into the United States market with the opening of a new office in Raleigh, North Carolina. "With the opening of our US office and support center, we are excited to help our US customers and prospects scaling and enhancing their competitiveness. Our advanced digital solutions will enable them to maximize asset performance, reduce operational costs, and grow their businesses," said CEO Stef Goossens.

3E Solar Irradiation Data are now accessible through an API in the archelios™ PRO application. This API integration enables the automatic importation of 3E’s TMY (Typical Meteorological Year) data when designing a photovoltaic project in Trace Software’s app.

PRESS RELEASE: Global renewable energy developer and service provider BayWa r.e. and Belgium technology company 3E have signed a strategic partnership agreement. BayWa r.e. has chosen SynaptiQ, a SaaS platform by 3E as the new PV monitoring & analytics system for all its strategic PV and BESS assets.

WATT & CO Group is a French renewable energy developer that focuses on innovative photovoltaic and agrivoltaics projects, playing an active role in France’s transition to green energy. Recently, the group undertook a financing operation for a portfolio of photovoltaic power plants, made up of 141 plants in total.

Acting as technical advisor during LANGA INTERNATIONAL’s latest fundraising operation, 3E helped the company achieve an €85 million capital increase. These funds will be crucial as LANGA look to further develop its renewable energy projects portfolio. In this blog post, we detail the work 3E carried out to facilitate this success. You’ll also find thoughts about the collaboration from Gilles Lebreux, LANGA’s founder and CEO.

Renewable power producer Boralex recently celebrated the inauguration of a 15.9 MWp solar park in Pézènes-les-Mines, France. As an independent third party, 3E is proud to have contributed to this project by having conducted the technical due diligence for the financing operation between Boralex and French lender BPCE Energeco.

In this whitepaper, we explore how physics-based Digital Twin technology creates value for asset operators. You will learn about different types of Digital Twins and of modelling, and discover why the physics-based approach offers faster, more accurate insights that drive performance improvements and optimise asset use. Additionally, we present a use case where a leading IPP used advanced Digital Twin analytics to optimise operations across 170+ sites, resulting into a 2-3% increase in energy yield, transforming their maintenance strategies and overall efficiency.

The impact of turbulence intensity on wind turbine performance is significant, yet there is no consensus on its precise impact on energy yield. To address these uncertainties, wind turbine manufacturers incorporate safety margins into warranted power curves, which can lead to substantial financial implications for wind projects. 3E has developed a simple yet robust method to model the influence of turbulence intensity on wind turbine power curves, with the aim of comparing with the approach used by manufacturers. In this article, we introduce a method for evaluting turbine performance losses, distinguishing between losses site-specific and generic power curve losses. This method is implemented in our Wind Analytics application to monitor the performance of wind turbines, and is also used by our Advisory Services to estimate performance losses in pre-construction energy yield studies.

In managing distributed renewable energy assets, traditional control center workflows struggle with scale and diversity. When operational teams try to expand their asset portfolios, relying on basic monitoring tools, such as graphs and status flags, becomes inadequate. This limitation is intensified by the proliferation of false alarms generated by standard asset performance management systems, hindering efficient workflows necessary for effective asset oversight.

Why should you consider adopting physics-based Digital Twin, and how does it solve your key challenges?

This blog explores digital twin development methods, emphasizing the benefits of grey box models for asset performance management.

As the demand for energy storage surges, securing suitable locations, overcoming supply chain constraints, and ensuring revenue security remain significant hurdles for developers. In particular, the absence of subsidies for mitigating the upfront costs associated with storage systems is a huge issue. In this blog, we discuss the significance of these challenges, and also explore the innovative solutions emerging to help the energy storage sector reach its full capacity.
