Sideshore Technology

About

Founded in 2020, Sideshore Technology is a private headquartered in Netherlands with approximately 1-10 employees specializing in Wind.

Sideshore Technology applies innovative algorithms and data science to optimize offshore wind farm layouts. The company develops tailored cost models that integrate multiple project-specific variables including turbine positioning, substation location, cable routing, geotechnical conditions, and seabed features like sand waves. Using proprietary optimization techniques, they automatically determine the most cost-efficient wind farm design. The company operates as a consultancy-based service, delivering multi-million Euro cost savings per project. Their approach differs from traditional grid-based optimization by working in continuous space to maximize layout efficiency. Founded in 2020 by Jan (computing expertise) and Ben de Sonneville (offshore wind engineering), the company combines computational physics with deep offshore industry knowledge.
