Plant digital twin

Simulate plant performance in production

Purpose

Discover new potential and optimize plant production with digital twin simulation of power plant behavior for all situations / scenarios. 

Future “hub” for connecting monitoring and damage / wear results from other plugins. 

Signals / measurements

Results

Results

Simulate plant total efficiency for all production scenarios / situations 

Simulate plant maximal power for all production scenarios / situations. 

Simulate water way velocity and surface level for safety / behavior for all production scenarios / situations. 

Technical summary

Documentation of waterway geometry and turbine performance (typically measurements according to IEC 60041) will be included in the plant model. A mathematical fluid solver will calculate steady-stateloads and transients for simulations that can uncover valuable production scenarios / situations while checking water way safety / feasibility of operation. 

Will in time be expanded with results from monitoring plugins to get a more comprehensive understanding of plant damage / wear for production scenarios / situations.
