At the CRA Risk & Safety Forum 2024, NovaSci’s Director Simon George will be speaking on the topic “Managing hazardous project lifecycles – a case study of a digital twin for hydrogen production”.

High hazard sectors within the energy sector such as nuclear power, and hydrogen production are typified by projects that span multidisciplinary teams, from multiple industries, with lifecycles measured in decades. The projects have complex regulatory, technical, and safety requirements.

Digital twins provide a detailed, interactive 3D model of the project, allowing stakeholders to visualise the design and layout before construction begins. Teams can collaborate more effectively by sharing a common digital model, ensuring everyone is aligned on the project vision. Potential risks can be identified and mitigated early by simulating life cycle stages including construction, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning.

This presentation will explain how digital twins can maintain detailed data reflecting site construction, component specifications, and by using real time data monitoring can track performance and maintenance. Further by combining the Digital Twin with Virtual/Augmented Reality the model can be used to run a range of training scenarios from plant operations and safety to emergency procedures.
