Industrialiser un jumeau numérique énergétique

Optimizing energy performance is a strategic challenge for operating fleets of complex assets. In this case, the objective is to evaluate the overall performance of a fleet based on the components specific to each unit (engines, boilers, batteries) and their operational profile.
‍
To address this challenge, our client wanted to transform an expert algorithm into a full-fledged web application that allows simulating and automating energy calculations across all of its technical departments.

context

Our client operates a large fleet of technical assets, subject to significant environmental and operational constraints. The challenge is to analyze the fleet's overall energy performance, taking into account the energy architecture specific to each vessel as well as its operating conditions.
‍
Historically, the group relied on internal calculation tools whose use was limited to a few specialists due to complex ergonomics and limited error management. This situation hindered the dissemination of the tool.

The goal was to leverage these expert algorithms, which had been scarcely accessible, by integrating them into a robust platform. In close collaboration with the client, we designed a user experience that meets the rigorous demands of their profession while ensuring the reliability of the calculation engine to guarantee results that can be used across all technical departments.

innovations

As part of this project, our multidisciplinary team created a professional technical application to industrialize an existing scientific code. The innovations introduced ensure greater technical robustness and wide internal adoption.

Industrialization of an existing scientific code

Transformation of the expert code into an operational web application that is accessible, maintainable, and fully integrated into the company's software ecosystem.

Dedicated database infrastructure

Implementation of a single source of truth to organize energy components, facilitating data synchronization and comparisons across the fleet.

Modernization of the algorithmic architecture

Transformation of isolated scripts into a standardized software library, facilitating its integration and maintenance within a dedicated calculation server.
