17:00 Deep Dive B: From Model-Based Reassessment to Governed, Data-Driven Lifetime Extension

• Moving from one-off engineering reassessments to an operational, data-driven lifetime extension strategy
• Building a governed sensor-to-screen Digital Twin: from monitoring systems and data quality assurance to decision-ready LTE products
• Virtual sensing, using tower accelerations to reconstruct structural response and fatigue hotspots across entire wind farms
• Practical, real-world examples, including ship impact, scour development, and operational curtailment
• Data-driven decision-making in daily operations and lifetime extension assessments
• Open discussion on data availability, transparency, data sharing, and pathways toward future research, codes, and standards

This deep dive presents Vattenfall’s transition from traditional, model-based lifetime reassessment toward a governed, fully data-driven approach to lifetime extension in offshore wind. Rather than treating monitoring and analysis as isolated exercises, the session demonstrates how a complete sensor-to-screen Digital Twin can be made operational at scale — linking monitoring systems, data quality control, structural modelling, virtual sensing, and LTE products into a single, transparent workflow.
Through concrete case examples from operating wind farms, participants will see how measured data is transformed into structural loads, fatigue damage, and integrity indicators that directly support data-driven operational and lifetime extension decisions. Particular, emphasis is placed on governance: how traceability, validation strategies, and clearly defined outputs are essential for trust, repeatability, and regulatory acceptance.
The session also opens a broader discussion on data sharing and collaboration. By making high-quality operational data available for research and joint initiatives, the industry can accelerate learning, improve methods, and support the development of future guidelines, codes, and standards. The format combines short technical walkthroughs with interactive discussion, inviting participants to reflect on their own data readiness, organizational challenges, and opportunities to move from promising concepts to practical, standardizable solutions.
