Thank you to the University of Liverpool, Zhibin Yu and Zahra Hajabdollahi for hosting the third ENSIGN – IES-DT workshop.
The Ensign Academics and researchers spent two productive days sharing updates on the five work packages and fostering collaboration to integrate them into the IES-DT—an innovative digital twin for future, coordinated multi-vector energy systems.
On day one of the workshop We kicked things off with a tour of the lab where the heat pump has been installed and is being set up by Andy McKeown one of the WP3 researchers. This is a key step toward developing its digital twin.
The project has made huge leaps forward in the development of digital twin models for each of the work packages and we will now look to start to bring these together into one Common Information Model (CIM) using the IEC 61970 standard.
We visited the Digital Innovation Facility, which applies new research and methodologies with the aim of transforming digital innovation to empower companies to innovate and deliver sustainable economic growth and technical development. Very interesting demonstrations on traffic flow, changing weather scenarios, crime rates all applied to an overhead 3D image of Liverpool.
