4Subsea Installed Sensors on Floating Turbine Zefyros/Hywind Demo

4Subsea recently installed advanced, retrofit sensors on floating turbine Zefyros (previously Hywind Demo) to prove cost reduction potential with a Digital Twin.

A few hours after installation on April 20th, the autonomous sensors started streaming motion and load data to 4insight.io from Unitech’s wind turbine off the west coast of Norway. The project aims to prove significant cost reduction potential in offshore wind by using a Digital Twin of the substructure to measure actual loads and fatigue on the turbine. 4Subsea has delivered digital decision support with Digital Twins to the oil and gas industry for years, and because of the many similar challenges with... ...
