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
June 17th-19th 2024, Rapperswil, Switzerland
Our Annual General Meeting 2024 took place at the Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences in Rapperswil (OST), Switzerland. The three days involved a “Task progress day”, a “Digital skills day” and a “WeDoWind day”. You can read the report of the event here.
Culture and coopetition for driving digitalisation
Feb. 29th 2024, 16:00 CET
In this webinar, we discussed some inspiring examples of how culture and coopetition can help drive digitalisation. After hearing IEA Wind Task 43’s vision for an holistic people-centred collaboration framework, we heard three examples of culture and coopetition, followed by a Q&A session.

Thriving in an increasingly digital ecosystem
Knowledge engineering and knowledge representation
Nov. 7th 2023, 16:00 CET with Yuriy Marykovskiy
In this webinar, we explored key insights from a new paper “Knowledge Engineering in Wind Energy” lead by the Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences and ETH Zurich, which addresses the pressing need for effective data management and knowledge representation in the industry.

METADATA CHALLENGE WEBINAR SERIES
Between December 2022 and July 2023 we hosted a total of seven webinars about data and metadata. The recordings are available on our Youtube channel here.
Since November 2023, this webinar series has been replaced with the IEA Wind Task 43 Webinar Series (see above).
TASK EXTENSION LAUNCH WORKSHOPS 2023-2024
WG4 (Use case demonstration) launch workshop
Jan. 24th 2024, 16:00 CET
In this webinar, we launched the new WG4 (Use Case Demonstration)! We started by giving an overview of the planned tasks of the group and then introduced the current participants and activities. After that, participants had the opportunity to make suggestions and give their inputs regarding the implementation and prioritisation of the activities. At the end, we defined next steps.
