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 is COB Tuesday 7 April.

The closing date to receive tender submissions is COB Friday 1 May.

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.
