North Tyneside offshore tech company Kinewell Energy has sealed a deal to work on a huge wind farm project in South Korea.
Kinewell Energy’s KLOC (Kinewell Layout Optimisation of Cable) speeds up and improves the process of designing cable layouts for offshore windfarms, saving developers in the region of 20% of the cable cost over the project life. It works by playing ‘dot-to-dot’ to find the most cost-effective way of linking up turbines with cable to collect the energy generated.
Since launching its next-generation KLOC software at the Global Offshore Wind conference last summer, the company has deliverded inter-array optimisation consultancy and KLOC licensing to the European, Japanese, US, South Korean and Chinese offshore wind markets.
