Keeping electrical assets safe, available and compliant
Natural Power provides UK-wide operations electrical engineering support that keeps wind, BESS and grid-connected assets safe, compliant and commercially available through rapid fault response, targeted maintenance and clear technical reporting; clients typically see faster return to service, fewer repeat faults and improved visibility of asset condition (metrics to confirm: average response time, reduction in repeat trips, and availability uplift).
About the work
Our aim is to help asset owners and operators maintain safe, compliant and commercially available electrical assets across operational wind, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and grid-connected sites. This includes reducing downtime, minimising operational risk, and providing clear, actionable engineering insight to support asset management decision-making.
What are the outcomes?
Natural Power’s Operations Electrical Engineering team enables clients to restore assets to service quickly and safely, reduce repeat electrical faults, and strengthen long-term reliability. Through fast fault diagnosis, targeted repairs and planned maintenance, clients benefit from improved availability, stronger protection system performance, and better visibility of asset condition. Clear technical reporting also supports more effective engagement with OEMs and stakeholders.
What does Natural Power do to get this result?
Natural Power’s electrical engineers work as a practical extension of the asset and site management teams. Operating at the point where electrical integrity, control systems and operational performance meet, the team provides specialist, site-ready support including:
-
Rapid response to faults and operational events, focusing on safe isolation, efficient troubleshooting, and safe return to service.
-
Targeted maintenance and repairs and proactive fault identification on critical electrical components such as switchgear, protection systems, auxiliary power supplies, and transformers - often catching emerging issues before failure to prevent avoidable downtime and site losses.
-
Protection investigation and validation, addressing one of the most common causes of trips and lost availability across BESS and grid assets.
-
Planned, repeatable maintenance programmes aligned with asset management strategies, designed to strengthen secondary systems resilience and reduce recurring issues year on year.
-
Clear technical feedback and documentation, including fault narratives, root cause analysis and practical recommendations that support investment decisions and long-term reliability planning.
Recent delivery highlights included RMU and disconnector repairs at a 44MW wind farm, fault investigation and TCS repairs at a 10MW BESS, resolution of protection relay issues caused by water ingress at a 50MWh BESS, replacement of tripping batteries and rectifiers across multiple storage sites, and transformer oil sampling to support condition-based maintenance.
Across multiple operational portfolios, the team has also repaired numerous switchgear faults and intervened early on developing defects before they escalated – avoiding significant downtime and associated commercial losses.
Client benefits
By engaging Natural Power’s Operations Electrical Engineering team, clients gain:
-
Improved asset availability through faster fault resolution and efficient, safe return to service.
-
Reduced operational risk by addressing protection, secondary system and auxiliary power issues that can lead to repeat trips or unsafe conditions.
-
Stronger compliance and safety assurance through robust electrical isolation, testing, and close-out documentation.
-
Better-informed decision-making with clear engineering insight that helps asset managers prioritise corrective actions and capital expenditure.
-
Scalable maintenance capability via a repeatable approach that can be rolled out across portfolios as new assets are added.
This embedded, operations-focused model ensures technical depth is available when and where it is needed, without slowing day-to-day site delivery.
