How SSE Renewables uses Azure Digital Twins for more than machines

Offshore wind farms are among the biggest machines we build--vast arrays of towers topped with slowly turning blades. They generate megawatts of power from their giant turbines, taking up miles of space. That means that, as green as they are, they still have an immense impact on the ecology around them, affecting birds, fish, and even the growth of kelp and other marine plants. Managing those turbines is a big issue. Instead, we need to consider them as part of a larger system, one that includes the environment they're part of.
