Hello!
My name is Francesco and I'm an engineer specialized in EPC (that is, "turnkey") wind farms projects.
I'm currently based in Hamburg, Germany and I'm developing several interesting projects all around the world.
In the last 9 years I had the pleasure of working in Europe, Central and South America, Caribbean and Africa.
If you want to get in touch with me please don't leave a comment in the blog (I don't check them very often) - you can use the contact form or contact me via LinkedIn.
You can write me in English, Spanish and Italian.
To find a (somewhat concise) description of my non-wind business activities you can visit my webpage
If you want to know more about my work, here you can download my CV.
Hope you like the blog!
Francesco
HI there,
I appreciate the efforts you have put in to create this website. Well done. I'd like to stay in touch with you. I have worked in the field of wind power for over 15 years, from initial site identification to wind farm O&M. I am based in Australia.

Taraz
Hi Fransesco,
Thanks very much for sharing all this material and precious experience. I am currently doing an internship in a company that develops windfarms and my main task it to draw AutoCAD plans of BoP at early stages of projects to avoid discovering problems after BP.
So your website is my new Bible!
Thanks Again
Sylvain

Hi from Greece
I'm a surveyor engineer and I have to thank you for your noteboom trailers! I just wanted to ask you one thing; Does autoturn really use rear wheel drive? Because in vehicle properties I can see that it says "steering: front only". Also, I've checked various videos on Youtube where trucks can perform really tight turns, which I think need more space when simulated with Autoturn.
Many thanks

Hello Dimitris,
I apologies for the late reply both this months I've been really busy.
Yes, AutoTURN does use rear wheel drive, at least in the version we use (8).
Ciao!

We are developing a wind project in the region and have some concerns with respects to the soil bearing capacity of our project. I wanted to contact you to hear your thoughts on soil improvement methods. Can you please provide me your email so I can send you a brief on the geotechnical studies and hear your recommendations bases on your experience. kind regards.

Hi Steve,
I'm not a wind farm developer, I just work for a wind turbine manufacturer.
Good luck!
Ciao Francesco!
I just wanted to thank you for this very useful website, as it is a goldmine of knowledge for someone who recently started working in the wind industry like me!
Too bad you don't have the time to update it more often.
But thank you anyway for your work!
Ciao!

Ciao, grazie! 😉
Hi Francesco,
Thanks for creating this website; very interesting.
I work in the UK in compliance monitoring and environmental management for large infrastructure projects including windfarms.
My colleague and I often have engineering and turbine related questions to ask so you might find a number of these heading your way if you don't mind!
Cheers,
Siue
Hello Mr. Francesco,
Myself Sagar Vispute, I am currently working in BoP division of Suzlon Energy Ltd, India. I really appreciate the useful information you shared about Wind Farms. I have already shared your website link with my colleagues.
We all would like to read more about recent developments in Wind Industry.
Thanks & Regards,
Sagar Vispute
Hello Sagar,
it’s a pleasure to know you!
I’m happy that you’ve found the website useful.
Wish you all the best, Francesco
Hello Francesco! Hope you are doing well
I recently started my first job in FFC Energy as an electrical engineer. They are operating a 49.5 MW Wind Farm in Sindh, Pakistan. Your website is a lifesaver for me! All the important and key stuff to understanding wind farms in one place! Thanks! 🙂
Wish you best of luck for your future endeavours!
Hello Waleed,
Thank you for your message!
I wish you good luck with your projects and a lot of fun with wind energy!
Ciao, Francesco
What do you know about the P&H foundation system? It appears to work well and use less steel and cement thereby making it cheaper to build.
Hello Doug, you can find a short introductory description here: http://www.windfarmbop.com/patrick-henderson-foundation/
My opinion is that it can be a reasonable technical solution in some situations – however a detailed study of the costs it’s necessary as it’s difficult to say upfront if it will be cheaper or not.
Hi Francesco , Thanks for blog , its good source to understand WF.
Hello Francesco!
I´ve recently found your blog while searching for Type certification process and I find it excepcionally interesting! Thank you very much for spreading your experience on wind. It trully helps to the newcomers! Especially beautiful are the pictures on the ground works.
PS: what about a new post on more in-depth commercial aspects for example in EPC contracts 🙂 ?
