Imagine having a perfect digital mirror of a wind farm or solar plant that tells you exactly how it's performing in real-time. This project builds a set of digital tools and AI to make these mirrors more accurate and easier for people to use. It's like having a flight simulator for energy grids, helping managers make better choices without risking real equipment.
Energy value chains struggle with inefficient operational processes and a lack of integrated data, making renewable energy less affordable and harder to integrate into grids.
A modular toolbox of digital components and a human-centric Digital Twin application. Deliverables include 3D simulations and visualizations of real and historic data.
If you are a dam operator dealing with unpredictable water flows — this project developed a modular toolbox of digital components that improves operational decision-making. It uses a human-centric Digital Twin to make energy more affordable and safer.
If you are a developer dealing with grid integration issues — this project developed AI and ML components that increase the renewables share in the electricity grid. This helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels across 4 continents.
If you are a wave energy company dealing with harsh ocean environments — this project developed sensor technologies and data-driven systems to monitor assets. This allows for better-informed decisions in a virtual environment.
Based on available project data, the specific commercial price is not listed, though the project received an EU contribution of EUR 3,000,000 for development.
Yes, the project validates components in five unique use cases across 4 continents, specifically targeting hydro, solar, and wave energy operations.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, but the project involves 13 partners including 6 industry entities.
The Digital Twin is designed to include knowledge and best practices from existing EU platforms such as ENERSHARE, GAIA-X, and FIWARE.
The project runs from 2024-09-01 to 2027-08-31, with progress videos delivered every 6 months.
The consortium is well-balanced for commercial translation, featuring a 46% industry ratio with 6 industrial partners and 3 SMEs. With 13 partners across 8 countries and 4 continents, the project has significant geographic reach and a strong mix of research (7 entities) and commercial application, led by SINTEF AS.
