The TetraSpar prototype set for deployment off Norway will be the latest to use ‘digital twin’ technology that aims to rapidly drive down costs in the fast-emerging floating wind sector.
TetraSpar, backed by industry heavyweights such as Shell, RWE and Japan’s TEPCO, will employ Integra software from Akselos to interface with sensors on its structure to provide a detailed structural model of the prototype that can be “analysed in near real-time”, the partners said.
