Mr. Dexing Liu develops AI-powered digital twin technology for wind farms, with a focus on turning complex operational data into actionable control decisions that improve both asset performance and lifetime. His work combines machine learning, physics-based modeling, dimensionality reduction, compressed sensing, and wind LiDAR integration to predict loads, reconstruct inflow conditions, and optimize wind farm operation in real time.
Building on research projects such as OWEA Loads, VAMOS, and FlexiWind, he is developing a practical wind farm digital twin (AI-brain) that shifts optimization from the single-turbine level to the fleet level. The goal is to help operators increase energy production, reduce fatigue and maintenance risk, and unlock more flexible, lifetime-aware wind farm control. His research forms the foundation for scalable digital twin products that can support smarter derating, wake-aware control, and data-driven optimization across entire offshore wind farms.
