Abstract
- Digital twins, computer-generated models that map physical objects onto virtual spaces, are being increasingly used to improve maintenance and plant efficiency in the turbine and compressor industry. Large OEMs and various software, IT, and industrial vendors have implemented or trialed digital twin initiatives. Digital twins can be used for simulation, testing, monitoring, and maintenance, accurately reflecting the ongoing operations of equipment or facilities. Real-world examples include a power plant in Michigan where a digital twin allows one person to manage maintenance and operations, and a project in Bahrain where a digital twin helped demonstrate the reliability of turbines. Other companies involved in digital twin technology include Siemens, Ansys, Emerson, and Mitsubishi Power. However, digital twins have limited applicability in the compressor market due to the unique nature of each machine. [Extracted from the article]
