Background

ELSAMPROJEKT A/S is a consulting engineering company owned by the power generators in the western part of Denmark with approx. 200 employees.

ELSAMPROJEKT’s know-how derives from 25 years’ practical experience within the energy sectors in Denmark and abroad. We enjoy a close working relationship with the operating personnel of our founding power utilities, which enables us to offer our assistance for the design and planning, project management and commissioning of electricity producing plants and other energy plants based on hands-on experience.

Working with practical issues alongside comprehensive research and development projects has created an organisation with experts having specialist knowledge of a host of areas from boilers with advanced steam data, district heating, biomass, wind energy, environmental management and quality assurance to project management and implementation.

Core Business Areas

ELSAMPROJEKT’s prime areas are:

ELSAMPROJEKT’s R&D activities comprise:

  1. New technology for electricity generation
  2. Aim at lower costs for generation and safer maintenance

Furthermore, ELSAMPROJEKT takes on detailed design of auxiliary equipment, piping, electrical installations and control systems as well as civil engineering.

Power Plants

As politicians and society have made increasingly urgent requests for an efficient, economical and environmentally friendly energy supply, ELSAMPROJEKT has taken an active part in the development of state-of-the-art materials, processes and construction methods, and today we design power plants using the latest in materials and technology.

Local Combined Heat and Power

ELSAMPROJEKT has been engaged in research, development, preliminary investigations and implementation of local combined heat and power projects realised over the past decade. We have a long history of designing plants for all kinds of fuels such as household/urban waste, gas, biomass and co-firing of these fuels. Our track record shows plants ranging from 2 to 600 MWe. The utilisation of industrial surplus energy is another of ELSAMPROJEKT’s fields of activity.

Wind Energy

From the early 1970s ELSAMPROJEKT has been involved in the development of sophisticated wind turbines from foundation to nacelle. We have carried out calculations of components and subsystems using state-of-the-art computer programs for load and strength calculations. Another speciality is the assessment and measurement of wind conditions together with optimal siting of wind turbines to ensure the highest possible power production. In addition, ELSAMPROJEKT has also undertaken planning, erection, commissioning and operation of onshore and offshore wind farms, either as power producing plants exclusively, based on wind, or as combined wind/diesel/desalination plants.

Transmission and Distribution

ELSAMPROJEKT possesses comprehensive expertise on connections from the power plant to the consumer as well as on interconnections between countries. We carry out general and detailed design, layout of transmission and distribution systems as well as installation and project management.

Environmental Issues

The environmental impact of the production of electricity and energy cannot be ignored. ELSAMPROJEKT offers professional consultancy in the environmental field in order to ensure, in close co-operation with our client, that the project is sustainable from an environmental point of view.
