Velantis Wind: Wind Farm Layout, Wake and Yaw Optimization
Velantis Wind combines proprietary technology and specialized consulting to optimize onshore and offshore wind farms from scratch or improve existing layouts. We integrate real-world GIS constraints, wake models, AEP maximization and yaw co-optimization to support project design decisions.
Advancing Wind Energy Efficiency
At Velantis Wind, we understand the inherent challenges of wind farm development. That is why we offer a complete technological platform that integrates layout design, wake modeling, AEP maximization and yaw co-optimization to deliver reliable results from a single source.
Our Competitive Advantages
Velantis Wind was developed to optimize wind farms under real project conditions. Its technological core integrates layout design, real-world GIS constraints, and analytical wake models with AEP maximization, enabling reliable decisions throughout the entire development process.
Real-World GIS Integration
Optimization natively incorporates site boundaries, exclusion zones, raster masks and other real constraints. This ensures that every layout produced is fully compliant with the limitations of the actual project area.
Yaw Co-Optimization
Yaw optimization can be integrated directly into the analysis workflow, allowing you to evaluate its impact on energy production from a single platform. This saves time and enables data-driven decisions without additional tools.
Multi-Island Evolutionary Optimization
We apply a proprietary optimization architecture that combines different search strategies and evolutionary algorithms. This enables robust, high-performance optimization capable of addressing complex multi-island scenarios and very large-scale wind farm designs.
Layout Optimization from Scratch
Velantis Wind can work from the wind resource, terrain and real spatial constraints of the project area itself, producing optimized layouts that are immediately viable. This eliminates the need to manually adapt designs to the limitations of each specific site.
How Velantis Wind Adds Value to Your Project
Velantis Wind helps developers, consultants and engineering firms reduce manual iterations, expand design capabilities and generate more robust, data-driven layouts. This shortens project timelines and improves the quality of technical decisions from the earliest phases.
Benchmarking and Technical Validation
Our approach has been validated against demanding industry benchmarks, including the IEA Task 37 CFB Wind benchmark. For that benchmark, Velantis Wind achieved an AEP of 2919 GWh, exceeding all participating teams. The complete technical report is available upon request.
Inputs
We start from the real data of your project to feed the model. We can work with wind resource maps, DEM/terrain files, GIS boundary files and exclusion maps, or simply a list of coordinates with relevant constraints. Everything that defines the real boundaries of the project can be integrated.
Advanced Optimization
We explore layout configurations incorporating energy assessment, interaction with wake models and AEP maximization directly in the optimization process. This reduces the number of rounds and makes it possible to evaluate complex scenarios with thousands of turbines.
Comparable Design Alternatives
We deliver technically comparable layout alternatives so the client can make informed decisions. Our reports include key energy indicators, clear graphics and a summary of each design alternative, enabling straightforward comparisons.
