The Company
Overspeed is an innovative service company in the wind energy sector. We are focused on modern, future oriented techniques for our consulting services as well as for our products and activities in research projects.
Consulting
On basis of over 15 years of experience in the area of wind energy Overspeed is working as consultant in the areas of wind potential analysis, wind farm layout, energy transmission and management of approval procedures. In focus are mainly projects at “difficult“ sites e.g. outside Europe and Offshore. In particular Overspeed is main consultant for the project “Sandbank24”, one of the biggest offshore wind farms in the world.
Wind Energy and IT
One of the main topics of Overspeed is the development and selling of IT-products around wind energy. This includes our system for remote surveillance of wind farms, OptiFarm. The intent of this development is it to give the wind farm operator an instrument at hand to minimise the expenses of wind farm operation and to optimise the economic performance. Independent part of OptiFarm is Shadeoff, our optimising solar shade shut-off system.
Wind power prediction
The further development of energy supply by integration of conventional power stations and wind energy is also a main working topic of Overspeed. We develop and run the operational platform for different wind power prediction systems e.g. Previento. In the project Anemos Overspeed is mainly responsible for conceptual design and development of the operational platform as well as for installation and operation of the prediction systems.
Research and Development
Overspeed emphasises the application and the development of new techniques and methods. For this reason Overspeed is involved in several R&D projects in the areas of remote surveillance, power prediction, offshore maintenance optimisation and wind - hydrogen - balancing power, and cultivates close cooperation with the University of Oldenburg including ForWind. |
