Dr. Gregory S. Poulos Founder and CEO, ArcVera Renewables “In the longer term ArcVera has expansive plans for India.” Shed some light on ArcVera Renewables and its offerings for the Indian renewable energy market? D r . G regory S. P oulos : ArcVera’s company culture is one of detailed hard work and application of our collective intellect to the goal of reducing project technical risk, providing respon- sive and accurate guidance, problem-solving and improving the success of renewable energy projects. ArcVera Renew- ables provides renewable energy technical consulting for hy- brid, solar, energy storage, and wind energy projects, through the entire project lifecycle. ArcVera services include develop- ment-stage and bankable energy assessments, technology reviews and design, independent engineering, state-of-the- science mesoscale numerical weather prediction for wind farms, O&M analysis, operational assessments, and testing, such as wind energy power performance testing. Our services will help India achieve AatmaNirbhar. Recently, ArcVera entered footprints into the Indian re- newable energy market. What market scope you see here We provide accurate long-term hourly and short-interval ten-minute time series of energy pro- duction estimates to inform the design of hybrid projects. Without a granular, time series ap- proach in methodology, major errors in design and expectations for hybrid performance accrue, and worst-case scenarios persist unmitigated. Our expertise is perfectly suitable to the applica- tion of winning tenders, or energy auctions simply because small details and accuracy matter much more with respect to the return-on-investment when compared with a feed-in-tariff struc- tured market, says Dr. Gregory S. Poulos, Founder and CEO, ArcVera Renewables, in an exclusive conversation with Manu Tayal , Associate Editor, Energetica India. Dr. Gregory discussed about his company’s offerings for the Indian market, target customers, long term plans for India etc. 22 energetica INDIA- October_2020 INTERVIEW
