- Who are you?I’m the CTO of a small company with big ambitions called ELEVEN-I. We are a sensor data collection, analysis, interpretation and act company aiming to bring structural health monitoring to wind turbine blades. I also have an interest in Digital Twins for nuclear.
- What is your industry and profession? Primarily wind industry but a lot of nuclear project experience.
- Where do you plan to use your new Digital Twin Knowledge? Personally/professionally? Our products provide data for digital twins in real time. We measure various parameters to build a picture of the fatigue accumulation, bending modes, real loads and various other information which can be extracted from the data.
- Why have you decided to join the DTHub? I think that what we are doing constitutes work in the field of digital twins and am keen to learn more and meet people with a shared interest. Just defining what constitutes a digital twin is interesting. It can mean many things. Key is that a digital model exists in some form which reflects a time based reality. Models inherently have limited accuracy as they are based on measurements with limitations. The next step for digital twins is to tag measurement confidence to the measurement data. Understanding the measurement error, accuracy and precision is key to making good use of a twin.
- Have you participated in any of our meetups, or events? Not yet but I certainly intedend doing so.
- Do you have any examples of work that you have done using Digital Twins? We worked on a Digital Twin with Cammell Laird and NNL on “Project FAITH” which was a mock up of a nuclear fuel rod assembly. All of our current wind products contribute to our digital models of wind turbines.
