Conceptualization of a Hydro-System Digital Twin for Operational Efficiency Maximization and Predictive Maintenance Support in a RoR Hydro Power Plant
Hydropower plays an important role in transition to decarbonized power systems and needs modernization. This paper addresses the digitalization of hydropower assets by means of a digital twin. Firstly, digital twins are discussed in general. Then, the use cases, objective and conceptualization of a digital twin for a RoR HPP are presented along with IT architecture of the solution. Business related objectives and operational needs are the driving forces of the concept. Finally, a conclusion is presented as the digital twin is moved into implementation phase at the demo site of the D-HYDROFLEX project.
