Wind energy technology is one of the mainstays of the imperative transition towards a sustainable energy model. Reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is at the forefront of the world’s fast-moving transposition from climate-damaging fossil fuels to clean, renewable forms of energy. 

Empowering the usage of wind energy for power generation will be crucial for the success of the global energy transformation. 

We have provided wind power services in more than 65 countries. This vast international experience, our high-level degree of specialization and knowledge of wind technology, as well as the multi-skilled and committed team of professionals, are the key differentiators of our company.  

R&D and innovation are key pillars of our strategy, as we strive to be at the forefront of the technological development of eolic energy.  

This is why Applus+ is constantly developing new and advanced analytics tools like TRAZA, a power-grid management platform based on a geographic-positioning application, to manage the day-to-day operation of power grids and renewable energy plants; IWEX, an advanced ultrasonic technique to improve the quality assurance in the manufacturing process of wind tower sections or offshore foundations like transition pieces or monopiles. 

Applus+ also offers technical consulting and engineering services for energy storage, a key technology that is frequently coupled with wind farms or solar power plants.
