Norway’s Fred Olsen Renewables has chosen Kongsberg Digital to provide an independent data storage and security solution for wind turbines, with Statoil partnering on the project.

Fred Olsen Renewables, Statoil and Kongsberg Digital will collaborate to verify the functionality provided by Kongsberg’s digital platform, called Kognifai, at the 71MW Lista onshore wind farm on Norway’s southwest coast.

Fred Olsen is working in cooperation with affiliated company Natural Power Consultants, managing and executing the service and maintenance activities on Fred Olsen’s wind farms, and will test Kongsberg Digital’s solutions to verify the capability to capture and store all vital data streams.
