Calling for entries from companies and consortia interested in undertaking a study to understand how Integrated Digital Twins and AI Technology can be integrated a part of floating wind operations & maintenance (O&M) strategies.
The Floating Wind JIP would like to:
- Define the state of the art for Integrated Digital Twins and AI in offshore wind O&M and assess applicability to floating wind.
- Identify and prioritise floating-wind-specific O&M use cases where Digital Twins and AI could improve availability, reliability, cost, and safety.
- Specify data, sensor, communications, and systems integration requirements (including CMMS, SCADA, condition monitoring, metocean, logistics and inspection data).
- Assess AI methods (e.g., anomaly detection, remaining useful life, optimisation, computer vision) for key failure modes and operational decisions in floating wind.
- Develop a reference architecture and implementation roadmap (people/process/technology) for deploying integrated Digital Twins and AI across the asset lifecycle.
- Quantify expected benefits, costs, risks and constraints, and propose recommended next-step pilot/demonstration projects for JIP members.
Tenderers should propose a study approach that delivers a practical, floating-wind-focused scope covering technical, operational and commercial considerations for integrating Digital Twins and AI into O&M strategies. The study should be evidence-led (literature + industry engagement) and result in clear, actionable outputs for JIP members.
The deadline for clarification questions has now passed. Answers to questions received can be downloaded below.
The closing date to receive tender submissions is COB Wednesday 6 May (this has been extended from the original deadline detailed in the ITT).
All clarification questions and tender submissions should be sent electronically, by their respective deadlines to Alistair.morris@carbontrust.com, with floatingwind@carbontrust.com in copy.
