WHO NEEDS US?Our customers in the renewable pow-er generation may require expertize outside the area of their core compe-tences. To complement the customer needs, Ampner provides a comprehen-sive offering services to ensure reliable, compliant and optimized power sys-tem architecture.
Our long experience in renewable gen-eration power systems, on time project execution record, and striving for excel-lence in customer care, gave us a strong position and good references, from our long list customers:
• Power generating facility owners• OEMs • Balance of Plant contractors• Grid operators• Substation suppliers • Investors• Project developers • Engineering companies
WHEN DO YOU NEED US?Renewable power plant project con-sists of several main phases with vary-ing durations. The Power System Ar-chitects are there with you before and during all the phases of the project. Tasks and specific needs change when project evolves.
WHERE CAN WE HELP YOU?Globally, Ampner has references in sev-eral countries and we have an interna-tionally business culture minded team and are internal project tasks are every-day routines for us. Our experience in renewable energy started 15 years ago in the wind power, followed by hydro power and the last few years come PV solar, wave, tidal and bio energy.
WHY AMPNER?
TECHNOLOGY EXPERTIZE
Our senior staff have experience in renewable power systems over 15 years and we have developed power conversion technology before it came main-stream in renewables. We have deep knowledge on different power system solutions in renewable energy production.
Ampner has designed and advised our customers on how to design power sys-tems that ensure reliability and performance, considering the complex Grid Code Compliance requirements varying from one power network to another.
EXPERIENCE
Ampner can evaluate power systems from all perspectives, from OEM point of view to the grid operator point of view. We assure the investors, the opera-tors and the owners with a high-level reliability and of course peace of mind.
FOOTPRINT IN FINNISH WIND POWER PROJECTS
>1000MW
THE WAY OF WORKING
Our tools and working methods are top of the line. We utilize globally recog-nized simulation and calculation tools like DIgSILENT PowerFactory and PSS/E. We seamlessly integrate design, studies and testing in our work packages.
A certain part of our work is done at our premises and at the customer office. Our passionate experts will execute as planned onsite with professional approach.
THE VALUE OF THE POWER SYSTEM ARCHITECTS
We are independent from OEMs, component and solution vendors. We really change the game in the field of power system architecture by delivering:
• Smooth and trouble-free grid code compliance
• Unique and affective optimization of the power system architecture for cost savings and improved yield
• Solutions and know-how based on wide and long experience in renew-able energy technology and market requirements

“Assigning Ampner’s experts in early phase in our project significantly reduced the capi-tal expenditure of the power system.”
GLOBAL INVESTOR OF RENEWABLES
“Ampner demonstrated the proof of power system concept when our customer needed the expert to discuss with experts on the oth-er side of the table. We couldn’t have pointed out the critical details by ourselves.”
GLOBAL RENEWABLE PROJECT DEVELOPER
“Ampner took care of the grid code compliance process for our wind power plant which made it possible for us to focus very little on the topics where we are not experts.
Ampner’s advice also has helped us with selection of the equipment which prevented us from making un-necessary investments on wind pow-er plant’s electrical system.”
