Yes, the layout generated using Pixel+ 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.
Platform usage
If I upload a layout in Pixel+, does it get reflected in the ProjectOverview and Finance?
Yes, all the parameters are updated directly.
Is it possible to include additional geographic data layers for the Area screening?
Yes, there is the option to upload your layers with additional environmental requirements or local constraints. You should use the “Upload more Geo Layers” functionality.
Is it possible to download the Pixels and Park Layout design fromyour Solution?
Yes, you will be able to download GeoJSON files in the Area Screening and Park Layout Design (Pixel+).
How are the Pixels/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+ solution will split the designated area into different small sub-areas called “pixels”.
Can you please explain how your pixels get the water depth in thearea screening? Is it the water depth at the centroid (point) or themean (zonal)?
The water depth of a pixel is at the centroid. Once you generate a layout, the water depth as each turbine position is used.
