Sentient Science has signed an agreement with Adwen to validate the drivetrain for its next generation turbine of 8MW-rated power, which is expected to be in serial production at the end of 2018.
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.
