Digital Twin for Steam Systems

De Challenge

To reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions, industries are transitioning to sustainable practices. Industrial Steam Grids, which will continue to serve as the main energy backbone of any industrial operation, provide an opportunity for increased energy efficiency.

The modernization of these networks involves integrating decentralized secondary steam producers on top of central sources, which increases complexity as steam flows through intricate networks spanning large distances within plants. Ongoing challenges encompass balancing steam production with consumption, addressing bottlenecks, and minimizing heat loss.
