Intelligent layout optimisation

Giga Leixões Project 1 GL

Leixões on the horizon. 1 GW turning wind into energy.

The objective is to develop a 1 GW offshore wind farm off the coast of Leixões.

Maximise the ROI of your Offshore Wind Farm with Intelligent Layout Optimisation

Select the area and let the algorithm do the work. We maximise energy production and minimise installation costs in a single click.

The optimisation solution is in development. This describes the project goal and is not an operational tool currently available.

The Challenges

Manual offshore turbine planning is complex and time-consuming. Miscalculating the wake effect between turbines and inefficient submarine cable routing can lead to significant financial losses and unnecessary CAPEX costs.

02 /

Our Objective

Develop a tool that mathematically finds the most suitable layout within a selected geographic area. The focus is reducing LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) by positioning turbines to capture as much wind as possible with the least infrastructure.

Our Mission

Accelerate the global energy transition by providing engineers and investors with advanced technology. We aim to make offshore wind projects more profitable, predictable, and faster to implement.

What We Offer

01

Intuitive Area Selection

A map-based interface where drawing the concession area polygon is all it takes to start a project.
