With DigitalClone®, Adwen has world’s most tested Drivetrain
BUFFALO, NY – February 22, 2016, – Sentient Science has announced that it has signed an agreement with Adwen to validate the drivetrain for its next generation turbine of 8MW-rated power, which has the largest annual energy production (AEP) on the market with the highest nominal torque drivetrain and largest rotor.
Adwen, the second largest offshore wind turbine manufacturer in 2015 by market share, is a joint venture between France’s AREVA and Spain’s Gamesa, two global energy leaders that have come together to create a major player in the offshore wind industry.
Under the terms of the agreement, Sentient Science’s DigitalClone® computational testing software will be used to further validate the Adwen 8MW platform drivetrain’s design and standards.
DigitalClone® is designed to provide an exhaustive and comprehensive validation strategy in which thousands of gearbox validation test points are computationally created within weeks for a fraction of the cost of physical testing. This allows massive amounts of testing points and insights to be evaluated before physical testing begins.
