Accelerating decarbonization through AI and data sharing
To enable rapid replication of our eFuel facilities, we have developed a Digital Data Twin. The solution allows us to capture learnings and contributes with increased quality, which is crucial for the long-term success and cost-efficiency of our project developments.
The platform also facilitates efficient collaboration between Liquid Wind and our partners, allowing us to work within predefined common structures, which is fundamental for seamless interaction and transfer of data between applications and phases.
What is a Digital Data Twin?
A Digital Data Twin captures and standardizes information from various sources to create a comprehensive digital model. By applying product management principles and treating the eFuel facility as a product, stakeholders can efficiently monitor a facility's performance, optimize resource allocation, and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
Digital Data Twins also keep a digital record of all assets, including equipment, infrastructure, and operational processes. By tracking the history of assets, maintenance activities, and operational changes, stakeholders can anticipate maintenance needs and optimize asset lifecycle management.
Benefits of Digital Data Twin solutions for eFuel facilities
-
Optimized Design and Planning
Digital Data Twins enable engineers and designers to create highly accurate virtual models of eFuel facilities. By simulating different design configurations and scenarios, stakeholders can identify optimal layouts, equipment placements, and operational strategies to maximize efficiency and minimize environmental impact.
-
Real-Time Monitoring and Control
With Digital Data Twins, operators can monitor the performance of eFuel facilities in real-time, tracking key metrics such as energy consumption, production rates, and environmental emissions. By leveraging predictive analytics and machine learning algorithms, anomalies and inefficiencies can be detected early, allowing for proactive maintenance and optimization.
-
Enhanced Safety and Risk Management
Safety is paramount in eFuel facility operations. Digital Data Twins provide a platform for simulating emergency scenarios, conducting safety drills, and optimizing emergency response protocols. By analyzing potential risks and mitigating them proactively, operators can ensure the safety of personnel and minimize the likelihood of accidents or environmental incidents.
-
Lifecycle Optimization and Sustainability
Digital Data Twins facilitate holistic lifecycle management of eFuel facilities, from initial design and construction to operation and decommissioning. By continuously updating the virtual model with real-world data, stakeholders can identify opportunities for improvement, implement sustainable practices, and extend the lifespan of the facility while minimizing environmental impact.
-
Collaboration and Decision Support
Digital Data Twins serve as a centralized platform for collaboration among stakeholders involved in eFuel facility development projects. By providing access to a shared virtual environment, teams can collaborate effectively, share insights, and make data-driven decisions to optimize performance and achieve project goals.
