Multi‐fidelity digital twin structural model for a sub‐scale downwind wind turbine rotor blade
Abstract This paper presents the development of a multi‐fidelity digital twin structural model (virtual model) of an as‐built wind turbine blade. The goal is to develop and demonstrate an approach to produce an accurate and detailed model of the as‐built blade for use in verifying the performance of...
