Pixel+ brings together the best features of Youwind's screening and layout optimization tools into an integrated platform that streamlines these key early-stage development processes, laying the foundation for the entire project lifecycle.
In the early stages of development, decisions are made that will significantly impact the project's feasibility, cost, and overall success. In a rapidly expanding offshore wind market, where global demand continues to surge, the need for advanced site screening and layout optimization tools is crucial to driving forward the successful expansion of offshore wind projects.
From streamlined turbine layout options to more intuitive wake model settings and in-detail bankability yield assessments, every aspect of the user-friendly interface is designed to make complex processes faster and more accessible.
The platform’s focus on saving customers working time by displaying all constraints and design steps in one overview, process area screening calculations approximately three times faster, and means developers can move through these early stages much faster than before.
But it’s not just an update to the interface – the system has become more powerful too. With advanced algorithms that improve accuracy across the board without compromising on computation time, Pixel+ provides an enhanced experience of vital early-stage development tools to meet the demands of the modern offshore wind industry.
“Pixel+ sets itself apart by merging cutting-edge modelling capabilities with an intuitive, user-friendly interface, making even the most complex tasks manageable” said Anna Rivera, CEO and Co-founder of Youwind Renewables. “As the offshore wind market evolves, precision and efficiency are no longer just desirable—they are essential. With global renewable energy targets looming, access to advanced tools like Pixel+ isn't just a luxury; it's becoming a critical necessity for developers.”
Pixel+ is already being used by a number of leading offshore wind developers as part of a trial phase, having utilized Youwind's platform for some time to support site prospecting and early-stage project development. These early adopters have responded positively, highlighting the platform's improved layout and communication. The feedback underscores how Pixel+ is set to become an essential tool for developers looking to optimize their projects in an increasingly competitive and fast-paced market.
