Testimonials
“GridWise Energy Solutions has worked closely in partnership with the Australian Onshore Wind team at GE Renewable Energy since 2018 in the successful delivery of a number of wind farm projects in the NEM – Bodangora, Crookwell 2, Silverton, Coopers Gap and Willogoleche Wind Farms to name a few. The GridWise team demonstrated exemplary knowledge and experience in the grid connection domain, and this was a key attribute for resolving a number of complex modelling issues and power system studies associated with grid connections. Aditya and his team also responded to number of our urgent queries by re-prioritizing their workload, and their consultancy service is highly recommended for organizations seeking renewable integration grid connection support In the NEM.”

“GridWise were engaged by Lightsource BP in assessing the technical feasibility of a large scale solar farm in NSW. Complex technical modelling of system strength and voltage stability issues in a weak grid area was performed to synthesise the technical complexities and bring out key project risks and opportunities in a clear and concise manner. The work was crucial for senior executives and board in making an investment decision on the project.”

“GridWise has been working on the PSSE modelling and grid studies for the Golden Plains Wind Farm project since mid 2019. GridWise’s work has been outstanding and we continue our engagement with them through our connection process with AEMO due to their highest levels of commitment and professionalism.”

“GridWise provided consulting services to Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) for one of our solar farm projects in South Australia. GridWise assessed the validity of our Gamesa Electric inverter and PPC PSSE and PSCAD models for site specific conditions. The GridWise team did excellent technical analysis in a very constrained timeframe to identify gaps in the models. They worked closely with our overseas technical experts to resolve open issues related to the PSCAD models and finalised the tuning of the site-specific models.”

“GridWise Energy Solutions has provided consulting services in relation to the grid connection of two different RES Australia projects. We have greatly appreciated the technical prowess of each GridWise team member assigned to our Projects, which combined to deliver higher quality output than is generally available in this market. GridWise have delivered practical solutions to technically challenging matters and collaborated effectively with project vendors and other stakeholders. They have consistently provided high-quality deliverables within aggressive project timeframes. We have also valued their support during technical negotiations with AEMO and other stakeholders during the GPS process.”
