Envision Energy, a major player in the wind turbine sector, signs a strategic memorandum with TÜV Nord at WindEnergy Hamburg 2024.
The collaboration is based on the optimization of certification processes and the improvement of the wind energy supply chain, a crucial issue in meeting the accelerating global demand for renewable energy.
TÜV Nord, renowned for its certification services in energy technologies, is committed to supporting Envision Energy in the standardization of its products.
The aim is to ensure that every component, from the complete turbine to more specific elements, meets technical and safety requirements.
The agreement focuses on improving technical performance, quality assurance, as well as the internationalization of Envision’s wind energy products.
International standards and technological innovation
The global transition to cleaner energies, although mainly driven by public policy, is placing increasing demands on private players.
One of the priorities for companies in this sector is to ensure that their products comply with international standards.
Envision Energy and TÜV Nord are therefore working to strengthen these standards, enabling Envision to consolidate its position in the global market.
Envision’s 10 MW powertrain for onshore wind turbines has just received major certification from TÜV Nord.
This technological breakthrough testifies to the company’s ability to develop integrated solutions, while maintaining a high level of performance.
This partnership ensures that products will be certified to meet the expectations of investors and regulators in different markets, a key point in accessing financing.
Supply chain and competitiveness
Optimizing the supply chain is another focal point of this partnership.
Certification of components at all levels not only reassures stakeholders, but also guarantees on-time, compliant delivery of renewable energy projects.
On an international scale, this is crucial to meeting demanding tenders and increasingly tight deadlines.
Envision Energy and TÜV Nord have already collaborated on several supplier evaluation projects, ensuring total transparency in the production process.
This approach improves the quality of turbines and subsystems, while ensuring product competitiveness in an increasingly competitive market.
Certifications and financial issues
TÜV Nord’s support in certifying new technologies developed by Envision also facilitates access to financing.
Investors are looking for guarantees of reliability and performance to minimize the risks associated with large-scale projects.
TÜV Nord certification provides this kind of assurance, essential for obtaining financing at competitive rates.
This cooperation has also led to the drafting of several technology white papers, detailing the processes and innovations to be followed in order to remain compliant with the regulatory requirements of local and international markets.
This upstream work ensures that Envision’s wind turbines meet the necessary criteria for deployment in a variety of environments, while satisfying local technical specifications.
International perspectives
Beyond the technical aspects, this alliance between Envision and TÜV Nord is part of a broader strategy of international development.
By focusing on product certification on a global scale, Envision Energy can position itself favorably in European and Asian markets, while anticipating changes in local regulations.
Standardization and optimization of certification processes are crucial levers for attracting new customers in these regions.
With wind farm projects multiplying in Asia and Europe, both companies aim to capitalize on the strong demand for reliable, standardized energy solutions.
This involves ongoing investment in technology improvements and close collaboration with institutions recognized for their rigorous certification.
