Concepts and Methods of 'Digital Twins' Models Creation in Industrial Asset Performance Management Systems

摘要

The paper describes new solutions and methods for computer modelling of different aspects and layers of industrial assets. In this paper not only new software solutions for creating of model itself are considered but also new solutions for creating of software environment for further models' interaction with real industrial plant in real-time mode are described. This paper concentrates mostly on "digital twin" models for asset performance monitoring and effectiveness increase, however some aspects of other types of "digital twin" models for industrial applications are raised also. Despite that some fundamental physic model types like first-principle model or thermodynamic model are well-known in science some other modelling methods like creation of fault-symptom model or data-driven model are new approaches related to industrial "digital twins". The motivation of the study for this paper is to find the scientific-technical way to raise the performance and efficiency of industrial enterprise to absolutely new level which can be established only on the applying of real-time based digitized intelligent infrastructure.
