Site Prospecting
↑ Back to timelineThe prospection of a project development site originates from a strategic, technical and financial analysis that will find an optimized location that not only takes advantage of the resource potential but presents a project development that meets strategically established financial, time and safety return requirements.
By creating a weighting matrix that considers all site risks and opportunities, the uncertainties associated with the resource and project development are diminished.
With the advent of green hydrogen projects, and energy being the primary resource for the materialization of the projects, we have carried out solar and wind prospecting studies with the objective of obtaining the energy required for the optimal use of the assets used in the transformation of energy into H2V.
Regional Prospecting Studies
We conduct an exhaustive analysis of different regions to identify those that present the most favorable conditions for the development of renewable energy projects. We evaluate factors such as available wind or solar resources, existing infrastructure, regulatory framework, land availability and socio-environmental aspects.
Creation of resource maps
Resource mappingWe create detailed maps depicting the spatial distribution of the wind or solar resource in the regions of interest. These maps are generated from satellite data, climate models and on-site measurement campaigns, and allow us to identify the areas with the greatest potential for renewable energy generation.
Site classification
We rank potential sites according to technical, economic and environmental criteria, assigning a score to each. This ranking allows us to prioritize the most attractive sites for project development and to concentrate our efforts on those that offer the best prospects for success.
Risk Analysis or “Red Flag” of the site
We identify and assess the potential risks associated with each site, such as the occurrence of extreme natural events, the presence of environmental constraints, or opposition from local communities. This analysis allows us to make informed decisions and mitigate potential risks.
Creation of Weighting Matrix between different sites
We developed a weighting matrix that assigns a weight to each of the evaluation criteria used to rank the sites. This matrix allows us to objectively compare the different sites and select those that best fit the project objectives.
Prospective studies for hybrid projects (solar and wind)
We conduct specific studies to identify sites with good potential for both solar and wind energy generation. We evaluate the complementarity of both resources and analyze the possibility of developing hybrid projects to maximize renewable energy production and reduce generation variability.
Mapping of compatibility with production patterns for hybrid projects (solar and wind).
We analyze the complementarity of solar and wind energy production patterns at selected sites. This analysis allows us to design hybrid projects that optimize energy generation over time and reduce the need for storage systems.
