Pavana GmbH | Accredited company for wind planning services

We are Pavana

Pavana GmbH, based in Husum, is a leading expert for highly specialised services relating to the complex planning of your wind energy project:

Implementation of wind measurement campaigns
Analysis of recorded data
Expert reports
Supportive and evaluative services

Our services are indispensable for planning and implementing a wind energy project: they constitute the basis for approval, are a requirement for the connection to the grid and ensure the financial viability and marketability of your own particular wind farm project with all its unique challenges and potential.

These tasks need proven specialist knowledge, the very latest technical equipment and a wealth of experience and assessment expertise. In short: Pavana GmbH.

Business Areas

Wind measurements

Pavana is accredited for the planning, execution and evaluation of wind measurements. The wind measurements carried out by the Pavana team have gained a strong reputation over the years and are regularly rated as good to very good. Using a range of sensors, wind conditions at the site are measured on met masts or by...

Wind measurements

Energy yield assessments

The experts from Pavana GmbH assess the impact of external factors on wind conditions at your particular wind farm site: Wind data measured at or near the site provides the basis for this assessment. The usability of the data is determined based on an assessment of whether it is representative of the site.

Energy yield assessments

Noise and shadowing assessments

Ensuring the protection of local residents living near wind farms is becoming increasingly important. Wind farm planners are well advised to pay particular attention to the issue of acceptance. As part of the approval process, pollution control authorities check compliance with limits for plant-related noise emissions...

Site Compliance

As part of the approval and implementation of wind farm projects, it is necessary to demonstrate that the proposed wind turbine is suitable for the site. The design parameters of a specific wind turbine type are compared with the parameters expected at the site.

Site Compliance

Assessment of wind
conditions at potential sites

Pavana’s services are used by project planners for different purposes: Firstly, sites can be assessed at an early stage with regard to their potential wind speed. Secondly, for example, the results can be used in order to assess the duration of possible operation beyond the 20th operating year.

Rental of measurement
technology
(wind measurement masts and LiDAR)

Specialised, costly measurement technology is needed in order to carry out highly complex wind measurements. You can rent the very latest equipment from us. Remote sensing devices (RSD) are measuring devices that measure the wind vector at various heights above the ground. Both the horizontal and the vertical...

Verification of LiDAR and SoDAR devices

Remote sensing devices (RSD) must be tested in accordance with the requirements of the current IEC guideline and the corresponding FGW Technical Guideline before they are used for measuring. They must be compared with the readings for wind speed measured with First Class anemometers (according to IEC 61400-12-1), wind...

Your project

Project developer

As a subcontractor, Pavana GmbH offers medium-sized project developers without own measuring resources highly specialised services for managing and implementing wind measurement campaigns and for subsequently creating expert reports that meet bank requirements.

Citizens’ wind farms/cooperatives

Pavana GmbH helps citizens’ wind farms and cooperatives to produce and evaluate wind measurements and subsequently select suitable wind turbines.

Banks

Pavana GmbH offers banks the opportunity to validate, and evaluate in a neutral way, the available wind yield analyses when assessing new or existing project financing.

Investors

Pavana helps investors to assess wind farm projects with neutral wind yield assessments. Services range from the assessment of available expert reports to the creation of reports that meet bank requirements.

Towns and municipalities

For an initial sounding out of possible sites suitable for wind farms, Pavana provides short analyses based on database material and available comparative data from other wind farms.

Manufacturer and operator of wind measurement technology

Pavana GmbH has a site for validating and calibrating remote sensing devices in North Friesland. Due to its location in one of Germany’s windiest regions, short lead times can be achieved here compared to other companies in the industry.

Manufacturer of wind turbines

Pavana provides and develops wind measurement technology for the measurement of prototypes.
