Digital twin technology can help increase lifetime of offshore wind structures

Wind Industry Profile of

Ramboll together with Aalborg University have delivered a PhD project that provides greater reliability upon the design and operational phase of offshore wind farms. The results show how measurement data based on the digital twin technology can help operators save money, reduce CO2 emissions, and increase lifetime of offshore wind structures.

Wind energy expects to witness a significant growth in the following years, both in terms of size and capacity. Parallel to this development, technological innovation will continuously be one of the drivers for capacity-building in the global renewable energy sector, including offshore wind. Moreover, while there have been major developments in the technology of turbines in the past years, the design procedures should also be updated to... ... More: Official Press Release Ramboll
