Abstract

The term “digital twin” refers to an emerging technology that utilizes the internet of things, software simulation, and data analytics to create a digital replica of a physical object or system. Digital twins have the potential to significantly transform condition monitoring and maintenance operations. In this research, a prototype is developed consisting of hardware and software components to enable the creation of a digital twin for an industrial application. High-pressure hydrogen vessels are industrial equipment with a high safety requirement for the storage and transfer of highly flammable hydrogen. Our prototype illustrates the effectiveness of utilizing a real-time digital twin of the hydrogen high-pressure vessel for failure risk management. The Action Design Research (ADR) is used to describe the process that led to the development of the prototype.

Supported by Academy of Finland Project Direct Operations under Grant 323831.
