Wind farm grid connection optimisation
Enersynt's innovative Rezo software package optimises offshore wind farm grid connections and inter-array cable layouts using cutting-edge algorithms and precise grid topology planning.
Introducing Rezo
The optimal planning of grid connections has always been a considerable task. Due to the increased size and complexity of offshore wind farms, developers struggle to find the best designs to minimise the costs of buying, laying and operating their submarine cables.
Rezo, Enersynt's grid connection and inter-array cable layout optimisation software, tackles these challenges head-on. By using cutting-edge mathematical algorithms, it helps developers pinpoint the most cost-effective substation locations and allows them to design the most efficient cable systems.

Advanced techno-economic optimisations
Reducing the lifetime cost of energy
Rezo drives down LCoE by determining the most suitable solution for your project while accounting for the full lifetime costs.
Capital expenditures
Make informed decisions on your CAPEX due to the material and labor costs during the design, construction and commissioning phase.
Operating expenditures
Get a grip on the OPEX costs resulting from active power losses and the operations and maintenance requirements for each solution.
Expected energy not served
Find the right balance between a reliable design with high availability and its impact on the CAPEX, OPEX and insurance fees.
Site & technology specific
Consider site specific production profiles, cable corridors, exclusion zones, existing infrastructure, and calculate accurate 3D cable routes based on the bathymetry and soil conditions.
Cutting-edge grid connection optimisation algorithms
Rezo's tailer-made offshore wind farm inter-array cable layout and export system optimisation algorithms are the result of a multi-year collaboration between academia and our high voltage experts and are based on a mathematical structure with proven optimal results.
Substation location
Find the most suitable location with heatmaps showing the cost impact compared to alternative substation locations.
Cable design
Determine the optimal number of inter-array strings, voltage level and cross section of all wind farm cables.
Branching of strings
Unlock further savings potential with reduced cable lengths, losses and increases in system reliability by branching strings in strategic locations.
Existing infrastructure
Navigate existing infrastructure and determine the most suitable crossing strategy based on your project specific needs.
Exclusion zones
Avoid shipwrecks and other no-go zones and intelligently decide if areas resulting in increased costs are worth avoiding.
3D cable route finding
Gone are the days of rough point-to-point estimates, get accurate cable lengths based on flexible 3D route finding.
Proven results through innovation
Multi-million project savings
Using advanced optimisation algorithms can accelerate project engineering and offer many opportunities for improvement and cost reduction in the inter array and transmission system of a project. For this 1.5 GW offshore wind farm, the optimisation result was benchmarked against the manual design prepared for a competitive auction.
The cost savings are made through multi-objective optimisation, optimal substation positioning and simultaneously considering the export cable and collection circuit costs.

FAQs
Everything you need to know about our Rezo optimisation software. Can’t find the answer you’re looking for? Please reach out to our team.
How much can Rezo reduce cable lengths and costs?
By optimising grid connection components, Rezo can typically reduce cable lengths by up to 20%, significantly cutting project lifecycle costs and minimising the environmental impact of the cable system.
Can you guarantee us cost savings?
While we have seen multi-million euro savings on all projects up to now, we offer a free check of the optimisation potential to clients before starting a project to assess possible cost reductions.
Do you only optimise offshore wind farm grid connections?
Our main focus is offshore wind farms due to the scale and complexity of these projects. However, our algorithms can be applied to various problems such as large-scale solar PV plants, combined offshore wind and solar plants, and electrical charging infrastructure.
Who can benefit from using Rezo?
Rezo is ideal for offshore wind farm developers, transmission system operators, and anyone looking to optimise their project's profitability and environmental footprint.
Is your software consultancy-based or license-based?
Currently, our software is consultancy-based, but we are hard at work to make Rezo available as a license-based software for all industry experts looking to benefit directly from our optimisation algorithms.
