Independent Electrical Power Engineering & Risk Advisory

Living Power is an independent engineering advisory practice specialising in technical due diligence and risk assessment for renewable energy and electrical infrastructure assets.

The firm operates solely in an advisory capacity to asset owners, financiers, and insurers, providing objective assessment of technical design, compliance, constructability, and operational risk.

Living Power provides independent engineering oversight and technical assurance for critical power infrastructure. Our role is to assess system design, integration, and operational behaviour to ensure generation assets are technically sound, compliant, and fit for long-term service before capital is committed.

Typical clients include banks and insurers, government agencies and councils, educational institutions, and NGOs seeking independent engineering assurance for complex energy projects.

Living Power --- Core Skills & Advisory Capabilities

Power quality and network performance studies
Assessment of voltage, harmonics, flicker, and system interactions to identify and quantify operational, compliance, and reliability risk in grid-connected and embedded generation systems.

Load profiling and demand analysis
Interpretation of site-specific load profiles to inform system sizing, control strategies, and long-term operational performance.

Renewable energy and storage modelling
Independent modelling of PV, BESS, and hybrid systems to test design assumptions, control strategies, and performance under real-world operating conditions.

Technical specification writing
Preparation of detailed, project-specific technical specifications that define responsibilities, manage interfaces, and reduce delivery and lifecycle risk.

Engineering risk identification and control
Identification, assessment, and mitigation of technical, compliance, constructability, and operational risks aligned with client objectives and risk tolerance.

Lender and insurer risk mitigation
Independent technical due diligence to support project bankability and insurability, including review of design assumptions, performance margins, and residual risk.

Independent Owner’s Engineer services
Provision of unbiased technical oversight across design, procurement, construction, and commissioning, operating independently of EPCs and vendors.

System integration and interface management
Assessment of interactions between generation, storage, loads, protection, and network constraints to ensure predictable and reliable system behaviour.
