The exceedingly positive perspectives for the Brazilian wind energy market and the successfully completed orders covering the preparation of wind yield reports, turbulence analysis, layout optimizations and a technical due diligence conducted on a local project have lead to the decision to open up a BBB branch in Brazil soon: “We realize that our expert knowledge and our service products are accepted on the local market - this is a solid basis to build on,” exclaims Bergmann, who also has family relations to the host country of the Football World Cup and the Olympics.
Besides that, BBB is already cooperating with the University of São Paulo in building up a research site for remote sensing systems, namely LiDAR and Sodar wind measurement systems. Here, the knowledge about the innovative technology and its best-practice handling will be transferred from the “old” wind energy market Germany to Brazil. This project is part of the Renewable Energy Solutions program promoted by the German energy agency (DENA) and subsidised by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology.
