Your Questions Answered
An AI-powered Digital Twin in Waste-to-Energy plants is a virtual representation that models the complete waste stream. It captures and analyzes real-time data from truck unloading to flue gas treatment to optimize plant operations.
How does the Digital Twin improve waste management?
The AI-powered Digital Twin enhances waste management by using AI to classify and continuously track the caloric value of incoming waste. Based on this data and underlying physical and chemical relationships, such as drying times, the AI optimizes waste feed to maximize energy output and reduce emissions.
Can the Digital Twin optimize crane operations?
Yes, AI-powered Digital Twin automates crane operations by providing real-time waste distribution data, ensuring optimal homogenization and handling efficiency, and guaranteeing consistent 24/7 combustion quality, minimizing reliance on personnel.
How does Digital Twin technology enhance plant sustainability?
AI-powered Digital Twin technology enhances plant sustainability by optimizing the energy content of the bunker through harmonizing the caloric value of waste, achieving constant and optimal combustion. This maximizes output, reduces emissions like CO₂, extends operational uptime, and reduces personnel effort and burden, significantly improving profit margins.
Is Digital Twin integration possible for existing plants?
Yes, AI-powered Digital Twin technology can be easily integrated into existing plants. Standard interfaces are provided for integration into the IT environment and crane automation. Existing cameras can be used, or simple industrial cameras and LiDAR for height measurement can be installed. This enables automation and efficiency improvements through retrofitting, even in existing facilities.
Does the Digital Twin Increase Plant Safety?
Yes, AI-powered Digital Twin improves plant safety through AI-powered contaminant detection. By identifying and addressing potential hazards, it helps prevent fires and equipment damage, thereby enhancing overall plant safety and operational uptime.
Is the Digital Twin and AI Suitable for Critical Infrastructure?
Yes, AI-powered Digital Twin can operate on-premises or in a secure cloud environment, with both the AI and all services being continuously tested and monitored. It meets today's data protection and cybersecurity standards, even with continuous AI updates.
