Feasibility Studies and Energy Audits
Predicting the outcomes and optimising the project design are crucial for a successful project. Pre-feasibility studies, comprehensive feasibility studies and investment grade energy audits combined with financial analysis are keystones in prudent project development.
Rytter Consult provides services to prepare studies on all levels and advises on how to achieve the optimum project design providing the most benefits at the lowest cost.
Feasibility studies of large energy infrastructure projects as well as small scale renewable energy plants such as PV, biogas, biomass and combined heat, cooling and power projects. Including baseline setting, techno-economic analysis and sustainable development impact.
Energy Audits, both walk-through audits to identify potential savings and in-depth comprehensive investment grade energy audits to provide detailed analysis of energy saving measures, demand side management, financial analysis and plans for measurements and verification.
Due diligence and Business Plans
Investments in energy projects require profound understanding of the complex nature of energy generation and energy savings. Factors that influence the baseline energy situation as well as the project performance and the associated risk factors must be considered.
Rytter Consult assists investors, top management and financiers in providing the necessary overview to make the right decision. Due diligence of in-house of external project plans provide an independent view on project performance. Detailed business plans for project implementation increases the success rate of any project.
Due diligence of internal or external project plans and feasibility studies. We can help to provide independent assessment and appraisal of projects as well as analysis of SWOT and risk factors and mitigation of risks and unforeseen impacts.
Top management and investor decisions rely on a high level of information about projects. We can provide detailed business plans with organisational, technical and financial plans including time lines and project milestones. This also includes assistance for tender process and bid evaluation.
Simulations and Design Studies
Simulations and design calculations will efficiently predict the energy savings and performance of systems. Optimisation of design and visualisation of projects can increase the success of projects.
Rytter Consult uses state of the art simulation and design tools to design and evaluate projects. Providing forecast of performance as well as visual model of the building integration.
3D modelling of PV and solar thermal systems effectively analyses the sun path and shading impact on solar installations. It also provides visuals of the building lay out. Optimisation of location and direction leads to higher performance and hour by hour analysis of energy output can be evaluated.
Whole building simulation or system specific simulation of HVAC systems, lighting analysis, pump systems, heating systems etc. will provide detailed analysis of impact of designs and retrofits.
A proper analysis of the project performance and optimisation will save cost.
Energy Performance Contracting
Outsourcing energy efficiency projects to Energy Service Companies (ESCO) through Energy Performance Contracts (EPC) is a way to quickly achieve energy savings without the financial burden of investing in equipment and securing a positive cash flow.
Rytter Consult is helping organisations to plan and implement EPC as an advisor to the host organisation. We help to identify areas suitable for EPC and prepare business plans and tender documents as well as supervising the process from A-Z in engaging ESCOs. This ensures that the best deal is made between host and ESCO.
EPC can be fully outsourced to an ESCO that will undertake the full implementation of the project including financing the projects. The ESCO will take a portion of the energy cost savings during the contract and share the balance with the host. We advise the host in making the right decisions in dealing with the ESCO and understand the process.
EPC can also be a guaranteed savings model, where the host finance the project with internal funds or debt finance. The ESCO will implement the project and guarantee the savings ensuring that the debt repayment obligation can be met. We advise on the EPC as well as structuring the debt finance.
Strategic Advisory Services
Sustainable development and climate change is high on the agenda for many companies, governments and organisations. Developing policies for achieving a sustainable path and meeting sustainable goals require a targeted action by organisations to incorporate sustainability indicators and monitoring practices in the workflow.
Rytter Consult assists organisations in incorporating climate and low energy into the management and processes. This leads to meeting some of the objectives of for instance the UN Sustainable Development Goals as well as making the organisation more ready for future challenges.
Government policies and plans on sustainable energy such as renewable energy action plans, demand side management and low energy policies and plans. We can provide the expertise in preparing forecasts, analysis and plans for short and long term plans.
Organisations and companies planning to improve their carbon footprint and obtain a more sustainable business can benefit from our services in providing vision, mission and action plans with indicators and monitoring procedures of sustainable development.
