: According to a new report from @NavigantRSRCH,
digital twins promise to revolutionize the wind industry by optimizing
project performance and maintenance.

“Digital copies of operating wind turbines can enable asset owners to
virtually and remotely monitor, test, and predict the performance and
condition of turbines and subcomponents and carry out performance and
reliability tests in a virtual environment,” says Jesse Broehl, senior
research analyst with Navigant Research. “This empowers asset owners and
wind turbine manufacturers operating wind turbines to predict and plan
for faults and optimize performance of their assets.”

To leverage digital twin technology, the report recommends wind turbine
OEMs see themselves as both vendors and customers of the technology,
while independent software as a service vendors mine the market and
leverage third-party independence over wind turbine OEMs. Meanwhile,
asset owners implementing digital twins should test and verify the
technology’s promises.

The report, Advancing
O&M Insights for Wind Plants with Digital Twins
, discusses
wind sector-specific offerings, trends, and intensifying vendor
landscape. The analysis examines drivers and barriers for wind turbine
asset owners, wind turbine OEMs, and software vendors that are
increasingly active in this space. The report also discusses specific
market players using digital twin technology, applications and
strategies specific to wind turbines, and provides recommendations for
wind market participants. An Executive Summary of the report is
