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

Planning an offshore wind farm manually is slow and costly.

The wake effect between turbines reduces the output of those downstream. A poorly optimised layout and inefficient submarine cable routing mean less energy produced and higher capital expenditure (CAPEX).

Our Objective

Determine the optimal turbine layout through mathematical optimisation.

Within the selected concession area, the tool positions turbines to maximise wind capture with the least infrastructure. The result is a lower levelised cost of energy (LCOE).

Our Mission

Make offshore wind more profitable, predictable and faster to deploy.

Provide engineers and investors with optimisation technology that reduces uncertainty in project decisions and accelerates the energy transition.

What We Offer

01

Area selection on the map

Draw the concession area polygon directly on the map and start the study immediately, with no file imports or prior setup.

In development
02

Layout optimisation for maximum return

The algorithm evaluates thousands of configurations and selects the position of each turbine that maximises energy production and financial return.

In development
03

Optimised cable routing

Submarine cable routes between turbines and the substation are calculated automatically along the shortest, most efficient path, reducing material and installation costs.
