Key onshore product features

Features with onshore-specific components
Advanced wind energy yield assessments 
  • With onshore specific losses, based on leading wind data resources, like WAsP
  • Embedded wind data (NORA3, ERA5, CERRA, Global Wind Atlas)
  • Supports multiple modes and optimises curtailment strategy to meet noise regulations
Wind park layout optimisation
  • Noise constraints taken into account
  • A wide range of layout optimisation options ready to go, including regular and irregular. Optimise for maximum AEP or minimised LCoE—or maximize number of turbines given spacing and excluded areas.
Infrastructure onshore, including electrical system and roads
  • Generate inter array cable design
  • Run power flow analysis to see losses, input to the yield analysis
  • Test project feasibility and infrastructure cost by generating a road network
Financial assessment
  • Model CAPEX, DEVEX, OPEX and revenue
  • LCoE and IRR calculations are always up to date with the technical concepts
Local impact assessment
  • Noise analysis
  • Shadow flicker
  • Viewshed (from where can the park be seen)
Onshore-relevant wind GIS data
  • Topography, easy access to existing wind farms, surrounding houses and infrastructure—plus a lot of relevant data layers
General product features
Scenario modeling, comparison and portfolio overview
  • Model as many scenarios as you want of the same wind park quickly and easily 
  • Easily compare both technical and financial aspects side by side
  • Compare sensitivities across your whole wind project portfolio to key factors like turbine cost or electricity price
  • Holistic portfolio view of all projects in development and in operation
Central data repository (‘Library’)
  • Store the company catalogue of turbine and cable types, and company defaults for financial, wind data and wake settings in one place to ensure it is always up to date and easy to reuse
APIs and integrations
  • Generate inter array cable design
  • Run power flow analysis to see losses, input to the yield analysis
  • Test project feasibility and infrastructure cost by generating a road network
Visualisations
  • Photo montage
  • View the park in 3D from any location
  • High-resolution images of 3D visualisations, and report-ready export functionality

Built in collaboration with industry leaders

We shaped our onshore product in close collaboration with renewable energy players like Eviny, Hafslund, Hydro Rein, OX2, Qair, and Cloudberry. They provided critical insights during the development phase of the platform, ensuring the platform addresses real-world challenges faced by developers.
By testing many sites, we increase the chances of finding and improving the best. The more we put in, the more we get out.
Henrik Hveding
Project Developer, Hafslund
We identified 3–4 areas in just one day — before, that would’ve taken several weeks. On top of that, now we’re much more confident in our projects.
Kristine Bentzen Foss
COO, Fenix Repower
Using Vind AI in the early stage of onshore project development increases the likelihood that a project becomes reality.
Mats Jønland
Business & Project Developer, Eviny
Vind AI helps us do a more thorough job early in the process. Project managers quickly get what they need — information that is crucial for us to decide whether to move forward with a project or not.
