Turbine layout optimisation

Kinewell Wake-Optimised Turbine Arrangement (KWOTA) balances energy production, CAPEX and OPEX to minimise the LCoE of a wind farm.

Get Started

Maximise energy yield

KWOTA uses an industry-wide recognised wake model in combination with our unique optimisation technology, enabling the software to find wake-optimised turbine layouts quickly.

Minimise costs

Reduce CAPEX and OPEX by avoiding expensive turbine installation locations.

Get started

Reduce risk

Scale up your scenario modelling to de-risk key decisions such as turbine type selection and potential for overplanting.

Suitable for all offshore wind markets

KWOTA can generate optimised regular array layouts for uniformity, irregular layouts for additional freedom, or occupy an optimal set of sites within a grid such as with US wind farms.

The work conducted by Kinewell Energy has evidenced the value that subsea junction boxes can deliver to floating wind farms under a range of innovative network configurations. The project team uncovered additional learning around floating wind design decisions, that we will take forward and deploy in our global floating offshore wind farm portfolio.

Kinewell’s software will allow us to look at ways of optimising the layout of our inter array cables and Offshore Substation (OSPs) locations at an earlier stage of the design, giving us the opportunity to find potential cost savings in multiple areas of the project reducing our Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE).
