Offshore renewables
Offshore renewables
Offshore renewables refer to renewable energy technologies that are developed and operated in marine or coastal environments to generate low-carbon electricity. These typically include offshore wind farms, tidal energy, and wave energy projects. Offshore renewable projects are usually connected to the onshore transmission network via high-voltage subsea cables and substations, and they often require complex engineering solutions to address challenging environmental and operational conditions. They play a critical role in decarbonising the electricity system, expanding renewable generation capacity, and supporting a resilient, low-carbon energy transition.

- Enersys has extensive experience in the development and grid integration of offshore wind projects, from early feasibility to pre-construction readiness. Our team brings deep expertise in addressing the unique technical and operational challenges associated with connecting large-scale offshore wind farms to the onshore transmission network. We support developers, investors, and network operators with grid connection strategy, system design, and detailed power system studies, helping to ensure projects are technically robust, reliable, and aligned with regulatory requirements.
- Our consultants have substantial experience tackling complex integration challenges, including weak AC grids, high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems, and the emerging field of multi-terminal DC (MTDC) networks. Enersys also specialises in multi-vendor coordination, providing technical assurance and interface management across diverse turbine manufacturers, converter platforms, and substation equipment. This experience ensures that assets from multiple suppliers can operate seamlessly together, minimising operational risk and maintaining network stability. MTDC networks further enable efficient integration of multiple offshore wind farms, improving system flexibility and optimising power delivery to the grid.
- Enersys provides comprehensive power system analysis for offshore wind projects, covering load flow, short-circuit, transient and dynamic stability, frequency response, voltage control, harmonics, and protection coordination. We also conduct electromagnetic transient (EMT) studies and converter interaction assessments, particularly for HVDC and MTDC integration, to evaluate the behaviour of offshore wind plants under normal and fault conditions. Combined with our multi-vendor integration experience, these detailed technical studies underpin connection applications, design assurance, and operational planning, helping clients de-risk projects, optimise performance, and deliver renewable energy efficiently to the electricity system.
