Youwind and Shoreline Wind have announced a strategic partnership and product integration to deliver a complete, full lifecycle planning solution for all wind energy businesses.
Moving forward, the integration will provide an uninterrupted digital trace running from the initial site screening and design phase, right through to operational ‘go live’ stage and beyond, including the deployment of computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS).
From today, wind customers will benefit from a seamless and bilateral product integration between Youwind’s cloud-based platform for onshore, offshore wind and BESS project development and Shoreline Wind’s AI-powered platform.
For example, customers looking to progress forward with project plans created within Youwind, such as wind farm layouts, hybrid wind + storage configurations, expected yield data and technical evaluations, can now digitally migrate these plans to Shoreline’s AI-powered platform, ensuring no loss of important data and improving forecasting reliability. Youwind’s platform will also benefit from drawing down on enhanced turbine related data modelled by Shoreline, such as (turbine) availability data, as well as expected OPEX of any given turbine layout and hub. This will enhance customers’ early-stage yield assessment’s accuracy, hybrid project evaluation capabilities and overall business case, while supporting a more connected workflow between project development, construction and operations.
“This partnership represents a powerful step change for the wider industry, supporting the efficient planning and development of new wind farms, as well as maximising the potential of legacy wind farms by developing optimal repowering strategies. Combining Youwind’s front-end design and yield optimisation capabilities with Shoreline’s deep execution and operational intelligence, we are delivering a significantly stronger end-to-end value proposition. Together, we enable wind energy developers and operators to maximize business case accuracy and minimize engineering friction”, said Ole-Erik Endrerud, Founder & Chief Product Officer at Shoreline Wind.
The wind industry has historically struggled with fragmented workflows between pre-construction engineering and long-term asset operation. By aligning the respective products and technologies from Youwind and Shoreline Wind, this gap is closing, helping new and repowered wind projects to be planned more accurately and commissioned on schedule.
