Project Overview

The Wind Farm Thrace project harnesses the exceptional wind resources of northeastern Greece to deliver substantial clean energy to the national grid. This 120 MW installation represents one of the largest wind energy developments in the region.

Technical Excellence

Our engineering team optimized turbine placement using advanced computational fluid dynamics modeling, achieving a 12% improvement in energy capture compared to preliminary layouts. The project features 30 modern 4MW turbines with 150m rotor diameters.

Environmental Stewardship

The project incorporates cutting-edge wildlife protection measures including an automated bird detection and deterrent system, setting new standards for environmentally responsible wind energy development.

Challenges & Solutions

Complex Logistics

Remote mountainous location with limited road infrastructure for oversized component transport.

Solution

Designed and constructed 12km of upgraded access roads with temporary reinforcement for heavy transport vehicles.

Grid Stability

High wind variability required advanced grid management to ensure stable power export.

Solution

Implemented state-of-the-art power electronics and reactive power compensation systems.

Avian Protection

Migration routes of protected bird species crossed the project area.

Solution

Installed radar-based bird detection system with automatic turbine curtailment during high-risk periods.
