Information

At Velantis Wind, we understand the complex challenges faced by developers, consultants and engineering firms in wind farm optimization. Our advanced software is designed to address these concerns, providing solid technical solutions and reliable data to maximize annual energy production (AEP) in real onshore and offshore projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Discover how Velantis Wind can boost your wind projects with our advanced optimization technology.

Can Velantis Wind fit into bankable assessment and internal validation workflows?

Yes. Velantis Wind is designed to complement existing design and validation workflows. Our work focuses on identifying additional improvement margins in complex layouts through advanced micro-siting, wake loss reduction, and, where applicable, yaw co-optimization. The proposed alternatives can later be cross-checked with the client's own tools, validation criteria, and energy models within their standard workflow.

How does Velantis Wind integrate real-world GIS constraints into optimization?

Velantis Wind natively integrates GIS constraints such as prohibited zones, raster masks, site boundaries, and spatial separation requirements. This ensures that optimizations are carried out considering the real project environment from the start, avoiding conflicts and maximizing design viability.

What deliverables can clients expect from Velantis Wind consulting?

As a specialized consultancy, we deliver detailed reports including resource analysis, site constraint evaluation, turbine interactions, and optimized layout alternatives. These deliverables provide a solid technical foundation for decision-making, presenting energy-comparable design options tailored to the project's priorities.

Does Velantis Wind require an initial reference layout?

No, Velantis Wind does not require an initial reference layout to begin optimizing. We can work from scratch or from a preliminary configuration to refine and optimize the turbine positions.

How does Velantis Wind approach yaw co-optimization?

Yaw co-optimization is directly integrated into our optimization process, not as an isolated add-on. This allows the turbine positions and their orientations to be considered jointly to maximize the wind farm's overall energy production.

What optimization architecture does Velantis Wind use?

We use a multi-island/orchestrated evolutionary architecture. This design is intended to balance computational efficiency and exploration quality, coordinating multiple optimization populations working in parallel on different aspects of the problem.

Is Velantis Wind suitable for both onshore and offshore projects?

Yes, our software is designed to maximize AEP in real projects both onshore and offshore. The algorithms adapt to different constraint models and environmental characteristics in each case.
