Youwind Renewables

Youwind is a SaaS company that accelerates early development phases for offshore wind projects, saving up to 80% of this phase time. With more than 15 years of experience in offshore wind, Youwind pioneer in helping offshore wind developers, consultancies, investors, and any company that needs to analyze an offshore wind project. Our web-based platform merges engineering and financial analysis from energy yield and park layout, considering environmental and technical constraints and state-of-the-art wake loss models, down to logistics and weather downtime optimization, keeping track of your financial indicators. It includes extensive datasets for all wind farm components and global GIS layers, with the flexibility to add your own data to be used in our powerful calculation tool to optimize your wind farm by making many scenarios within a click. Our 4 modules in detail: *Youwind Model enables users to optimize an offshore wind farm project production and business case. It includes a market costs library from suppliers, developers, and vessels with technical inputs to design an offshore wind farm capability. Users can compare many scenarios and benchmark them with other existing offshore wind farms. *Pixel allows you to find the best location for a new offshore wind project. It combines GIS data and visualization to identify all relevant restrictions (environmental, human, and technical) with powerful cost calculations from our other Modules, resulting in a high-resolution LCoE heat map for any chosen area globally. ​ *Pixel Park helps users generate a new park layout and perform micrositing optimization in seconds. Yield calculations are performed including several wake models, such as N.O. Jensen and TurbOPark.​ *OptiWindow, is a leading-edge optimization algorithm, for planning logistics and installation of your offshore wind farm components, taking into account climate. This results in a revolutionary downtime calculator for more accurate CAPEX estimations.
