Catapult 2020: Implementation of a Digital Twin for a Lab-Scale Solar-Powered Micro-Grid

Overview

This project aims to demonstrate at lab-scale a microgrid for hydrogen production using renewable energy systems. The project will also develop a digital replica of the H2Xport pilot-scale facility, allowing the use of real-time data and analytical dynamic models to optimise plant operation and production of hydrogen.

Outcomes

Completed: a physical system has been implemented at the micro green energy precinct.

In-progress: a digital twin of the system will be implemented using a range of sensors, a data acquisition system and graphical interfaces.
