A logistics optimization solution for improved installation and maintenance planning and reduced weather downtime
↓
What is Optiwindow?
Advanced analytics to optimize installation sequences and reduce weather downtime
Optiwindow is a web-based app for logistics optimization – designed to help developers reduce weather downtime based on climate data, wind, and waves to undertake and undertake fast sensitivity analysis of installation and preventative maintenance sequences. This results in robust cost estimates for logistics-related expenditure during the planning stages.
Why use Optiwindow?
The pressure has never been greater to increase the deployment of new offshore wind projects worldwide – but the industry faces significant challenges in realizing this growth.
Installation costs are a relevant portion of offshore wind projects CAPEX and hence it is essential to deep dive into finding the best sequence, as well as perform extensive sensitivity analysis on vessel types, weather risk acceptance threshold, choice of harbours depending on their constraints, among other possibilities
CUSTOMIZE OFFSHORE LOGISTICS SEQUENCES
Set up installation or operational sequences, determine wind and waves restrictions per task. Upload your climate data (site & harbor)
CONDUCT FAST DISCRETE EVENT SIMULATION
Use Optiwind’s innovative algorithm to process decades of metocean measurements in seconds and obtain accurate and fast statistical results for different risk scenarios, where Youwind can suggest the best starting date for your activities
DRAG AND DROP FOR USER FRIENDLY SEQUENCE OPTIMIZATION
Identify downtime sources and optimize your installation sequence in the most intuitive way – because usability matters
SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE
Understand the direct impact of your installation sequence by combining its time and costs with your overall business case inside Youwind Model
STAY SECURE
Benefit from the highest standards of confidentiality to protect your project’s data
LEARN FROM THE EXPERTS
Draw on constant support from our experts with more than 15 years of experience in the market.
How does Optiwindow work?
Begin by setting up installation or operational sequences, including all restrictions per task and start date. Upload your climate data, synthetic data or measurement campaigns, both at site and harbor.
For each sequence, Optiwindow will give you your best (P20), average (P50) and worst (P80) case estimates for both time and costs – identifying your downtime sources. Optiwindow then enables users to deep dive to optimize their installation sequence in just a few clicks.

FAQ
Am I going to receive technical support during the Project Pilot or Annual Subscription?
Yes, during the Project Pilot or Annual Subscription you are going to receive IT support and offshore wind expertise support following the onboarding procedure. Technical support based on IT functionalities is included throughout the duration of your contract.
Can we add specific weather data in Optiwindow?
Yes, it is possible to add specific weather data in our logistic planner such as wind speed at harbour and wind/wave data at the site through “Edit weather data” on the Activity Section of Optiwindow.
How are the Pixel/subareas defined when screening the area?
When screening your area with Pixel, you can set the wind farm density which is the power capacity (MW) divided by the area (km2) and with the power capacity, Pixel app will split the designated area into different small sub-areas called “pixels”.
