WIND ENERGY
SIL: SOFTWARE IN THE LOOP SIMULATION
TECHNOLOGY READINESS LEVEL (TRL) : 9
IP STATUS: Not Applied.

Value Proposition

Our Software-in-the-Loop (SiL) bridges the gap between numerical simulation and physical tank testing. By synchronizing real-time platform displacements with high-fidelity aerodynamic models, we capture complex coupled dynamics, providing the most realistic floating wind turbine representation.

Added Value

Real-Time Precision: Integrated hardware / simulation expertise feeds platform velocities back into the model for unmatched accuracy.
Proven Reliability: Mature solution, more than 16 years of refinement through 18 campaigns across 10 basins and 7 countries.
Scalability: Controlled fan systems replicate full-scale aerodynamic forces, eliminating the need for complex physical rotors and reducing costs.

Market Applications

Optimized for utility companies and technology developers looking to de-risk FOWT projects via: Hydrodynamic Characterization, Numerical / Controller Validation, and Certification. Enables hybrid testing of: turbulence intensity, vertical/horizontal windshear, weathervaning, grid loss and pitch actuator failures.

TRL

TRL 9 technology software-hardware package. We provide direct service support or full technology transfer.
