Short summary
In this work, we implement, verify, and validate a physics-based digital twin solution applied to a floating offshore wind turbine. The article present methods to obtain reduced-order models of floating wind turbines. The models are used to form a digital twin which combines measurements from the TetraSpar prototype (a full-scale floating offshore wind turbine) to estimate signals that are not typically measured.
