Objective
TwinD will improve the reliability of wind energy systems and optimise operations and maintenance by combining model-centric digital twins with scalable cloud and edge execution. The project targets the key bottlenecks that limit today’s wind O&M digitalisation: uncertainty in failure-risk forecasting and diagnosis, fragmented toolchains and data silos, and the difficulty of scaling digital-twin workflows from pilot assets to fleet level.
TwinD will deliver five interoperable key results: (1) model-centric digital-twin engineering with governed models and traceable change management; (2) uncertainty-aware failure-risk forecasting and what-if simulation; (3) continuous monitoring and diagnosis with technician-oriented visualisation and training assets; (4) risk-aware maintenance scheduling that remains feasible under operational and market constraints; and (5) a secure, reproducible cloud backbone that automates deployment, execution and evidence packaging. TwinD follows a closed digital-twin loop: digital shadows ingest operational data to keep models aligned with reality, while descriptive (monitoring), predictive (risk forecasting) and prescriptive (maintenance scheduling) analytics are executed reproducibly on a secure cloud backbone. Results will be validated through five use cases covering the operator-aggregator-TSO triangle, ensuring relevance for real O&M workflows, grid constraints and market-facing requirements, and enabling replication beyond the pilots.
TwinD directly contributes to the work programme topic by reducing wind-system risks and uncertainties and enabling more reliable, cost-effective O&M. By delivering standardisable interfaces, open reference artefacts and validated TRL4-5 evidence, TwinD also supports broader impacts of a more efficient, secure and competitive renewable energy supply and strengthens European capabilities in digital-twin-based wind operations.
