Applications

We develop and deliver the best solution for every client.

Lidar applications

We have shaped ideas of different lidar applications for the last 10 years and have driven the development of them. 

Our main expert areas are on

  • Lidar-assisted controller design
  • Specific lidar data processing for lidar-assisted control
  • Lidar wind field reconstruction
  • Motion-compensation of moving lidar systems

Floating wind

Our team comprises engineers a multidisciplinary background with extensive experiences with different wind turbines and floating platform types. We are equipped to tackle the most complex challenges.

Our main expert areas are on

  • Modeling of floating wind turbines at different fidelity levels
  • Coupled-analysis and integrated loads analysis
  • Detailed analysis of the dynamics including linear analysis, Campbell diagram, sensitivity analysis
  • Controller design for single and multi-turbine floating wind turbines
  • Special analysis for single-point-mooring systems
  • Integrated design and optimization of floating wind turbines
  • Digital twin for floating wind turbines 
  • Model-based high resolution monitoring
  • Power performance testing with nacelle-based lidars

Over the recent years, sowento and OWT have cooperated successfully in developing floating offshore wind structures. sowento was responsible for all coupled analyses and controls and we at OWT transferred their coupled loads into our FE-models of the components. We have formed a strong and reliable partnership and are looking forward to building on this fruitful and efficient collaboration in the future.
