Velantis Wind: Layout, Wakes and Yaw Optimization in One Platform
Velantis Wind develops advanced technology to optimize onshore and offshore wind farms under real project conditions. We integrate GIS constraints, wake models, energy assessment and yaw co-optimization into a single technical workflow to generate high-performance layouts from scratch or improve existing designs.

Advancing Wind Energy Efficiency
In complex wind projects, layout design depends not only on the resource: spatial constraints, wake losses, park configuration and the need to compare viable alternatives in a short time also play a role. Velantis Wind provides an advanced optimization layer to help developers, consultancies and engineering firms identify more robust configurations from an energy and technical standpoint.
Our Proprietary Optimization Architecture
We use an evolutionary multi-island/orchestrated architecture designed to balance exhaustive exploration with precise refinement, ensuring maximum efficiency.
Wake Models, AEP and Yaw
We integrate yaw co-optimization into the main process, not as an add-on, and work with advanced models to calculate annual energy production (AEP) and wake losses.
Benchmarking and Technical Validation
Benchmarking is part of Velantis Wind's technical validation. It allows us to compare the optimization engine's behavior against recognized reference cases and verify its capacity to handle highly demanding layout scenarios. One of those cases is the IEA Task 37 Case Study 4, one of the most recognized benchmarks in wind layout optimization. In this case, Velantis Wind has achieved an AEP of 2923 GWh under benchmark-equivalent conditions with the yaw co-optimization module disabled. Beyond the specific result, this validation reinforces the robustness of our approach and enables us to bring the same level of technical rigor to real projects with GIS constraints, wakes and site-specific conditions.
Designed to Go Beyond Standard Workflows
We go beyond standard workflow limitations to capture the full potential of your layout, even under complex conditions.
Integrated and Tailored Optimization
Advanced consulting backed by proprietary technology
We don't offer a generic tool, but a specialized technical service for complex wind projects. We apply our optimization technology to identify real improvement margins in existing layouts or develop alternatives from scratch under real site conditions.
Real-World Constraint Integration
We integrate boundaries, exclusions, minimum separation and GIS constraints into the analysis to deliver comparable layout alternatives, structurally different and energetically competitive, strengthening the technical quality of the final decision.
