Wind Energy – Development
A British tech start-up has landed a contract to help develop one of the world’s largest offshore wind developments.
Kinewell Energy has secured a contract with Big Six energy supplier SSE Renewables to map out its ambitious Berwick Bank Wind Farm development.
Covering 945sq km with the potential to deliver up to 4.1 GW of installed capacity, Berwick Bank Wind Farm, situated in the Outer Firth of Forth, will be able to power over 5 million homes, making it one of the largest projects of its kind, anywhere in the world.
Since its launch in 2015, the Kinewell Layout Optimisation of Cable (KLOC) software solution – which will be deployed by SSE Renewables during the development of Berwick Bank – has been utilised across the globe.
Harnessing game-changing technology within its AI based optimisation engine, the software helps developers drive down costs, reduce the amount of cable required, reduce emissions and significantly slash the duration of engineering design work.
