Sharper judgement where wind measurement meets bankability.

OBRAVEN helps developers, investors, and advisory partners make better decisions about what to measure, how to procure it, and whether the evidence will hold up when bankability matters.

Founder

Founded by Stan Herasymenko. 17+ years in wind energy across DNV and Mainstream Renewable Power, spanning measurement strategy, energy analysis, and technical-commercial advisory. At Mainstream, Stan led the Energy Analysis Group across a multi-GW wind and solar portfolio. His direct measurement experience covers 110+ met masts across 30+ countries, including floating LiDAR campaign work.

Core capabilities

Measurement campaign design, strategy, and procurement support – onshore and offshore, including floating LiDAR
Independent challenge of energy yield assumptions, consultant reports, and bankability logic
Technical-commercial review at decision gates – connecting resource evidence, layout, turbine choice, and financing readiness
Specialist subcontract support for advisory firms and diligence teams on defined wind measurement and bankability workstreams

Engagement model

Defined-scope project work on measurement strategy, campaign design, assumption review, or bankability challenge
Independent owner-side or investor-side review and interpretation of third-party technical outputs
Subcontract or collaboration alongside advisory firms, developers, and diligence teams – senior engagement, not delegated

Typical decision situations

The risk often isn't in a single report or workstream – it's in the gap between them. Where 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 changes the outcome.

Offshore resource measurement strategy

Hidden risk

Offshore wind resource 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 help define the offshore measurement strategy from the decision backward – including floating LiDAR campaign design, scope, sequencing, and procurement support – so the campaign is lean enough to be commercially sensible while still robust enough to produce a genuinely finance-grade outcome.

Bankable dataset quality

Hidden risk

A campaign can look compliant on paper yet still under-deliver 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, decision-fit, finance-grade dataset at proportionate cost.

Do we need a measurement campaign at all?

Hidden risk

Projects often default into new measurement spend before anyone proves that 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 a finance-grade path that avoids new measurements altogether – with the aim of protecting decision quality without buying unnecessary work.

Are the energy yield numbers decision-fit?

Hidden risk

Seller and consultant cases can look plausible while still carrying optimism that is too aggressive for the decision at hand.

How we help

We test whether energy yield assumptions, losses, uncertainty estimates, and technical conclusions are proportionate, defensible, and aligned with the real investment or acquisition decision – including helping clients true up aggressive cases before they become expensive mistakes.

Do the workstreams add up?

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 interpret and connect outputs across energy yield, layout, noise, turbine choice, and related disciplines so the combined picture is judged against bankability, deliverability, and technical-commercial consequence – not just report-by-report completion.

What should we procure or rely on?

Hidden risk

Measurement monitoring, plant design, and energy assessment tools or services are often chosen through habit, politics, or legacy preference rather than fit for purpose.

How we help

We scope the real need first, then compare relevant measurement, monitoring, energy-analysis, data, and bankability-support tools or services on fitness for purpose, integration, downstream use, and commercial logic – rather than inertia or internal preference.
