Streamlining early-stage development

Youwind’s innovative technology streamlines and optimises the initial phases of offshore wind project development, reducing early-stage development timelines by up to 80%.

We look at offshore wind developments holistically. Our approach integrates engineering and cost data to efficiently model key technical and financial indicators and assess the viability of projects.

Our web-based tools – Youwind Model, Pixel, PixelPark and OptiWindow – encompass each phase of the early-stage screening process. They relied upon by leading players to inform the financing and development of projects that meet the financial expectations of investors.

To date, Youwind has been used to analyse over 1000 offshore wind project sites worldwide, from Europe to the deep waters off California and Japan. This has involved 10,000 simulations for over 250TW of potential installed capacity – enough to supply 578 million households and mitigate 447 tons of CO2.

Informing critical project decisions

Youwind maintains a unique, component, GIS and wind resource database to support reliable and efficient decision making.

Our library covers all wind farm components from turbines to substations, export and inter-array cabling. We hold power curve data for more than 50 different turbine types, validated against existing projects. And our library of GIS layers includes over 20 countries with the highest offshore wind potential

We also have an exclusive integration with Vortex FDC, giving our users access to market-leading wind resource data that reduces the uncertainty of energy yield assessments.

We make it very straightforward to input your own data, change variables and customise the database to meet the specific needs of your team. This data is treated with strict confidentiality – helping you ensure that your unique knowledge stays within your business.

Combining real-world experience with R&D

We build our expert knowledge into every aspect of the service we provide. It is fed into our underlying models, data and techniques. It informs the unique user interface and functionality of our web-based apps. And it underpins our unmatched customer service – including our unique project-based onboarding process.

But we don’t stop there. Partnering with some of the most respected research institutions, such as TU Delft and DTU, Youwind continues to innovate to address current and future offshore wind development challenges, ensuring a consistently evolving solution for project modelling, optimization and yield performance.
