DigitalClone For Engineering

Lower Variable, O&M Cost of Maintaining Your Wind Turbines

The DigitalClone Platform is a network of wind turbine operators and suppliers connected by digitization, material science and life extension actions.

DigitalClone is a physics-based digital twin solution that simulates wind turbine drivetrain components using operating and loading conditions to predict failure progression. The software uses machine learning for turbine main parts (gearbox, main bearing) to provide robust prediction capability superior to condition monitoring systems.

With DC-E, you can reduce risk with computational testing of certified digital models for part qualification and reduce design iterations for an efficient optimization process. You can perform a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) of the failed part.

“The bill of materials with good forecasts helps us to maintain and optimize the maintenance process throughout the life of the wind turbine. “BELEN LİNARES, ACCİONA ENERGİA

“Our physical testing process with the latest computational testing technology always matches our rigorous testing and verification process with the ultimate goal of increasing the reliability of the turbine. Using DigitalClone is the first step in our comprehensive verification program. It will contribute to a faster certification process for our planned products and a more reliable turbine going into series production.” MAÎTE BASURTO, ADWEN

“We are proud to be the first major European wind power operator to deploy Sentient Science’s renowned technology on our assets. This represents a major step forward in our ‘Turbine for Life’ program to achieve maximum performance from our turbines and be more competitive than ever.” RAFAEL MATEO, ACCIONA
