IEA Wind Task 43 Webinar Series – Why does the wind energy sector need to start talking about digital twin architecture?
September 20th: 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm CET
Digital twins are a key technology for the wind energy sector due to their ability to provide virtual replicas of physical wind turbines and wind farms. These digital models enable real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and performance optimisation, leading to increased efficiency and reduced operational costs. Digital twins help in identifying potential issues before they become critical, thereby enhancing reliability and extending the lifetime of wind farms. They also facilitate better decision-making and strategic planning, ultimately contributing to more sustainable and resilient energy production.
Understanding the architecture of digital twins is important as it ensures seamless integration, interoperability, and scalability of the digital twins. A well-defined architecture allows for consistent data collection, analysis, and visualisation. Building common architectures across the industry enable different stakeholders to collaborate more effectively and share insights. Such a collective approach can accelerate innovation and drive down costs of wind energy.
In this one-hour webinar, we will first hear two examples of digital twin “use cases” from the sector, followed by two architecture design example projects, and ending with a discussion and Mentimeter quiz where the participants can disucss their thoughts, needs and other inputs on the topic!

Annual General Meeting 2024 - Rapperswil, Switzerland
Our Annual General Meeting 2024 will take place at the Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences in Rapperswil (OST), Switzerland, in the room 4.112 in Building 4 on the Campus (Oberseestrasse 10, 8640 Rapperswil, Switzerland). You can reach the campus via direct train from Zurich main station to Rapperswil, which run six times an hour (the train numbers S5 and S15 take 37 minutes, S7 takes 41 minutes). There are regular trains from Zurich Airport to Zurich main station (8-12 minutes). Find a connection here. At Rapperswil train station, follow signs to "HSR Hochschule" and once on campus, you'll find a campus map with Building 4 marked. Go up the main stairs in Building 4 to find the room 4.112.
We strongly encourage in-person participation at our beautiful campus; however, online participation is also possible.
