Tufts University, the University of Rhode Island, the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and the UK's Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult have assembled an international team of researchers to advance OWT digital twin technology based on measurements from an array of OWTs at the Block Island Wind Farm (BIWF), the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) Pilot Project, and the North Sea.  

This work has been funded by the U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), the Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council, the National Offshore Wind Research and Development Consortium (NOWRDC) and the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC), and the National Science Foundation, and Innovate UK. It has been conducted in partnership with Ørsted, GE, Dominion Energy, and Siemens.
