Is it possible to compare different projects and layouts?
Yes, you can do so using “Compare Projects” field at Youwind model and you will visualize the comparisons in the section “Project Overview and Finance”.
What are the parameters to consider when choosing a vessel?
In our Vessel library, you can find the main technical parameters for the vessels: leg length, deck area, and pricing. You need to make sure the bathymetry matches the leg length (including air gap) under “Maximum water depth” and that the vessel is equipped to transport units of the turbine MW selected, and that the hook height matches the hub height.
Which direction of the wind rose is used to optimize the layout? Is it the main wind direction or the mean of the wind direction?
When generating a layout, we use the complete wind direction probability distribution, and optimize the energy production for all wind directions (weighted by their respective probability).
Does Youwind take into account the footprint radius of the mooring system in your layout?
Yes, the layout generated using Pixel Park by Youwind takes the footprint radius into account so that the turbines and mooring lines are within the development area, which might be a need for consent/permit purposes.
If I upload a layout in Park Layout Design, does it get reflected in the Project Overview and Finance and in the Area Screening?
Yes, all the parameters are updated directly.
