Energy & Power Systems Translation


Alafranga has translated technical documentation for the energy sector since 2002: wind turbine and solar inverter manuals, grid and substation documentation, battery storage and EPC project documents, in Turkish and more than 40 languages in total. For one solar inverter manufacturer alone, we have delivered 254 projects in more than 20 languages since 2020.

Energy equipment is installed and serviced by people working at height, near high voltage or in confined spaces. A wrong torque value, a missing lockout step or an error code that reads differently in the manual and on the display is a safety risk.

The overview below shows what each type of energy document demands.


▮Energy Documents and What They Demand

Each document type has a different reader and a different point of failure.

Document Typical reader What we check
Wind turbine installation and service manuals Service technicians on site Torque values, lifting and lockout steps, signal words
Solar inverter manuals and app texts Installers and end users Error codes identical in manual, display and app; parallel release in all languages
Grid connection and protection documentation Utility and grid engineers Settings, units and references to standards
Battery storage (BESS) manuals Installers and operators Thermal and fire safety instructions, limit values
EPC project documents Contractors and owners Consistent terms across specifications, reports and revisions
Documents for Turkish authorities Licensing and permitting bodies Submitted in Turkish; sworn translation where required

 

▮What We Translate

  • Power generation: turbine and generator manuals, plant control systems, operation and maintenance documentation.
  • Transmission and grid: substation engineering documents, high-voltage equipment manuals, grid protection documentation and network procedures.
  • Renewables and storage: wind and solar installation and commissioning guides, BESS manuals, energy management system documentation, environmental reports.
  • EPC projects: design documentation, procurement specifications, commissioning procedures, project reports and supplier documents.
  • Electrical equipment: switchgear, transformers, protection relays, control panels and data sheets.
  • Hydrogen and emerging technologies: electrolyser and fuel cell documentation, storage and transport safety procedures, pilot project documentation.

▮Wind and Solar, from Installation to App

For a wind turbine service company in Turkey we translated installation and service specifications between 2010 and 2017. Read the case study

For a solar inverter manufacturer we translate manuals, quick guides, device texts and monitoring app content into more than 20 languages, released in parallel with each product version. Read the case study
