Shoreline Wind has consolidated its leadership in technology for the offshore wind industry, supporting over 455 GW of projects in development and 20 GW under construction or in operation. Its SaaS platform offers advanced simulation, optimization, and workforce management solutions, reducing costs and mitigating risks at every stage of a wind farm’s development.

“Our patented AI technology, including Shoresim AI and its Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation (ABMS), enables large-scale planning and automation in the design, construction, and operation and maintenance (O&M) of wind farms,” the company highlights in a dialogue with Strategic Energy Europe.

According to Shoreline, it is the only company that possesses patented AI technology for the planning and automation of complex wind operations worldwide. Its platform provides industry-specific information, AI-based analytics, scalability for hundreds of wind farms, compliance with high safety standards, and ease of use with mobile access for field workers and customizable workflows.

Moreover, Shoreline enables real-time synchronization between on-site teams and managers in headquarters, supports multi-phase construction projects, integrates with existing project management systems and ERP solutions, and features a mobile-first design for technicians, adapting to various models and brands of wind turbines.

Success Stories in the Wind Industry

Shoreline’s simulation and optimization solutions have been adopted by major players in the wind industry, transforming project management at every stage of development.

One of the most notable cases is that of TEPCO Renewable Power, which used the platform to improve its operation and maintenance (O&M) strategy in offshore wind projects. “Shoreline’s simulation has been key to optimizing maintenance scheduling and resource allocation,” the company states.

Meanwhile, Parkwind employed Shoreline’s technology during the design phase of its wind projects, using scenario-based simulations to make data-driven decisions. This approach enhanced project viability and reduced design risks.

In the realm of floating wind energy, Principle Power has trusted Shoreline to manage the logistical complexities of its projects. The platform’s ability to simulate different scenarios has been fundamental in planning operations in dynamic marine environments.

Similarly, Ørsted has implemented Shoreline’s simulation to improve operational workflows, increasing wind turbine availability and reducing operating costs through optimized resource planning. Likewise, Ocean Winds has adopted Shoreline’s next-generation CMMS software to manage assets in real time, thereby improving operational efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.

Concrete Cases of Cost and Risk Reduction

Industry-leading companies have reported substantial improvements thanks to Shoreline’s platform. Maersk Supply Service achieved a 30% increase in installation capacity using Shoreline’s Design™ software, which resulted in significant reductions in project time and costs.

In addition, Ørsted has emphasized how Shoreline’s simulation optimized operational logistics by integrating long-term needs with financial planning, reducing risks and enhancing efficiency.

Artificial Intelligence as a Pillar of Optimization

Shoreline has developed an AI-based platform that enables high-fidelity simulations to improve the planning and execution of wind projects. “Our Shoresim AI technology uses Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation (ABMS) to model individual components such as vessels, personnel, and equipment, dynamically adapting to real-time changes,” the company explains.

Shoreline’s software integrates into every phase of a wind farm’s lifecycle:

• Design: It simulates installation, commissioning, and testing scenarios, providing cost estimates and analyses of climatic and technical risks.
• Construction: It optimizes resource planning and logistics management, reducing potential delays and unexpected costs.
• Operation and Maintenance (O&M): It automates maintenance planning and technician assignment, reducing downtime and optimizing resource usage.

The results have been remarkable: savings of up to USD 300,000 per day in vessel costs, a 10% reduction in OPEX, and a decrease of three hours per day in planners’ workload have been achieved.

Solutions to Optimize Supply Chain and Field Operations

One of the biggest challenges in offshore wind energy is optimizing the supply chain and managing field operations. Shoreline addresses these challenges with real-time analytics tools, data automation, and predictive planning.

Among the most notable benefits of the platform are:

• Accurate weather forecasts, which have reduced wind turbine inaccessibility by 50%.
• Reduction in operational costs for crew transfer vessels by €7,500 per day.
• Automation of data collection during installation and maintenance, generating savings of €75,000 per project per year.
• Optimization of technician dispatch, minimizing downtime that can cost between €5,000 and €12,000 per day.
• Digitalization of administrative processes, which has generated annual savings of between €200,000 and €300,000.

Global Expansion and Adaptation to Strategic Markets

Shoreline Wind has expanded its presence in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and North America, adapting to the specific needs of each region:

• Europe: Focuses on improving the management of large-scale offshore wind projects by leveraging existing infrastructure.
• Asia-Pacific: Serves emerging markets with a growing demand for floating wind energy.
• North America: Adapts its solutions to comply with specific regulations such as the Jones Act, ensuring efficiency without compromising regulatory compliance.

“Our platform adapts to market conditions through digital simulations, integration with existing tools, and flexibility for dynamic projects,” the company concludes.

With its patented AI technology and focus on automation and optimization, Shoreline Wind is redefining the future of wind energy by offering scalable and cost-effective solutions that accelerate the transition to a cleaner and more efficient energy future.
