Nordr Energi, the Norwegian renewable energy developer previously known as Source Galileo Norge, is returning to Vind AI to extend its use of the platform. Having previously used Vind AI for offshore wind, Nordrenergi now plans to use it to model projects combining renewable energy production with battery energy storage systems (BESS), covering both offshore and onshore renewables as well as standalone BESS applications — building on its long-term relationship with Vind AI.
The return is notable since, despite a rebrand and change of ownership, Nordr Energi chose to bring Vind AI back into its workflow rather than start fresh with a new platform — a sign of the kind of long-term relationship Vind AI continues to build with developers as their businesses evolve.
Headquartered in Haugesund, Norway, Nordr Energi, formerly Source Galileo Norge, is a developer and owner of renewable energy systems. The company is now part of Unitech Energy Group, which designs and manufactures cables and connectors for the oil & gas and renewables industries, with offices in Bergen, Perth and Houston. Nordrenergi's own focus is on developing energy system projects across offshore and onshore renewables in combination with battery energy storage (BESS), as well as standalone BESS applications. This includes the operation of Zefyros (formerly Hywind Demo), a hub for future floating wind turbine (FWT) demonstration projects. That focus shaped Nordr Energi's decision to return to Vind AI for extended use of the platform, and, alongside developing new projects, the company provides services for lifetime extension and system expansion of existing energy systems.
"We see real potential in using Vind AI as an early-stage tool, especially as more of our pipeline moves into hybrid territory. Being able to test the physical and financial viability of a hybrid site before committing further resources is exactly where we want to be spending our time."
—Gunnar Birkeland, CEO, Nordr Energi AS
As Nordr Energi's project pipeline expands into battery storage alongside both offshore and onshore renewables — as well as standalone BESS projects — the team needs a way to evaluate these technologies together rather than in separate tools. Vind AI's hybrid functionality lets users model battery storage in combination with onshore and offshore renewable assets in a single platform, including comparing financial configurations, comparison views, and battery dispatch strategy against factors like spot prices, grid limits and tariffs.
For a developer managing a varied set of early-stage projects, that means fewer handoffs between disconnected tools and a clearer, faster view of how a hybrid site could perform.
"Hybrid projects are becoming a bigger part of how we develop renewable energy in Norway, and we need a platform that can keep up with that. Vind AI gives us a way to model energy production and battery storage together."
—Gunnar Birkeland, CEO, Nordrenergi AS
Having previously used Vind AI's offshore wind tools, Nordr Energi is now extending its use of the platform to onshore renewable and BESS projects and is in the early stages of testing its hybrid and standalone BESS capabilities, with plans to expand usage further as this pipeline matures.
