The RTDT Research Affiliate Programme space - helping to improve data sharing in wind energy

RTDT Laboratories is an ETH Zurich spin-off developing a universal tech stack for Structural Health Monitoring as a service of wind energy assets, for cloud and edge. The RTDT Research Affiliate Programme brings together researchers with real data and WeDoWind Challenges from the industry in order to create state-of-the-art open-source models and analysis tools for wind turbine Structural Health Monitoring. Recently we were able to use the interim results of the first challenge to contribute to a Research Data Alliance grant project aiming to develop recommendations for improved data sharing in wind energy.
