The RDI service "Technical consultancy and engineering support for the design of renewable energy systems" provides specialist support for the configuration, sizing and optimisation of photovoltaic, wind and hybrid systems. The service is intended for beneficiaries seeking to develop reliable and efficient energy solutions adapted to the actual conditions of the site, of consumption and of operation.
Through this service, ICSTM supports beneficiaries at every stage of project development, from preliminary analysis and feasibility assessment through to conceptual design, technical sizing, the selection of appropriate technologies and the modelling of system performance. The activities may include the assessment of the renewable resources available, the analysis of solar irradiance, the interpretation of wind profiles, the estimation of energy generation, and the configuration of techno-economic scenarios adapted to the beneficiary's objectives.
The service contributes to informed decision-making on the choice of energy solutions, the reduction of design risks, the optimisation of investment costs and the improvement of the performance of the systems implemented. Through the use of specialised software tools and relevant meteorological databases, ICSTM is able to provide rigorous analyses of the energy potential of the site, the estimated efficiency of the installation and the compatibility of the technical solution with the beneficiary's requirements.
The beneficiaries of the service may include companies, public institutions, energy project developers, engineering firms, organisations in the IT/digital and green technology sectors, innovators, start-ups, SMEs involved in RDI activities, corporations and companies interested in optimising energy processes or in integrating renewable sources into their own infrastructure.
The activities are carried out using specialised software tools and databases, such as PV*SOL 2025 R3, Meteonorm 8, PVGIS, Solcast and NREL Meteosat. Through these resources, ICSTM provides applied RDI support for the design of renewable energy systems that are efficient, sustainable and correctly sized in relation to the technical, economic and climatic characteristics of each project.
