OBRAVEN helps developers, investors, and advisory teams decide what to measure, what to trust in the evidence, and whether the technical and revenue case is robust enough for investment and finance decisions.
Founded by Stan Herasymenko. 17+ years across hands-on measurement delivery, technical advisory, and developer-side leadership. His experience spans Mainstream Renewable Power, DNV, and ENERPARK, including leadership of Mainstream’s global Energy Analysis Group across a multi-GW wind and solar portfolio, supervision of more than 110 meteorological masts, offshore measurement strategy, and technical-commercial support on layout and technology choices. OBRAVEN exists to bring that depth to high-stakes project work as an independent – focused on the proportionate scope the decision actually needs.
Wind resource measurement, modelling, and energy yield analysis exist to establish a credible view of what a wind project is likely to produce – and how much uncertainty sits around that case. That is what lets risk be judged properly and the business case hold up under bankability scrutiny. OBRAVEN helps at the points in that chain where poor judgement gets expensive.
The risk often isn't in a single report or workstream – it's in the gap between them. Where resource measurement campaign design doesn't quite match the bankability case. Where assumptions survive unchallenged because no one owns the join between disciplines. These are the places where experienced independent review can change the outcome.
Hidden risk
Measurement campaigns can be over-scoped, under-designed, or badly sequenced – leaving clients with either wasted spend or data that will not stand up when bankability matters.
How we help
We design onshore and offshore measurement strategy from the decision backward – sizing scope, sequencing, procurement, and supplier obligations to what the project actually needs to prove at investment and finance stage.
Hidden risk
A campaign can look compliant on paper yet still fail through weak supplier obligations, QA, maintenance, monitoring, or escalation.
How we help
We help teams set up and govern measurement programmes so that RFPs, contracts, supplier scope, maintenance expectations, review rhythms, and escalation paths are aligned to one objective – a robust finance-grade evidence base at proportionate cost.
Hidden risk
Projects often default to new measurement spend before anyone proves the decision really needs it.
How we help
We assess whether the right route is a full new campaign, a reduced scope, a different evidence base, or no new measurements at all – protecting decision quality without buying unnecessary work.
Hidden risk
Optimism in seller and consultant cases tends to hide in the loss factors, not the base-case yield. Gross energy is hard to manipulate when the analysis is done well; loss assumptions are easier to quietly nudge in a favourable direction.
How we help
We pressure-test yield assumptions, loss factor estimates, and uncertainty framing against the real investment or acquisition decision – and help clients true up aggressive cases before they become expensive mistakes.
Hidden risk
Technical studies can all be completed and signed off, yet still fail to add up to a financeable, decision-ready project.
How we help
We connect outputs across energy yield, layout optimisation, turbine choice, noise, and related disciplines so the combined picture is judged against bankability, deliverability, and technical-commercial consequence – not just report-by-report completion.
Hidden risk
Measurement, monitoring, plant design, and energy assessment tools or services are often chosen through habit or legacy preference rather than fit for purpose.
How we help
We scope the real need first, then compare relevant tools or services on fitness for purpose, integration, downstream use, and commercial logic – rather than inertia or internal preference.
If you are making a wind measurement, energy yield, or bankability decision and need clearer judgement on what to measure, what to trust, or what to do next, let's talk. A 30-minute conversation to understand the situation and see whether OBRAVEN is the right fit.
