The TwinPower project, led by Scienteama, is a direct follow-up to the Green River project, with the aim of disseminating its results. The aim is to create a digital twin of the Honfleur demonstrator of various energy recovery sites, to optimise energy recovery technologies, and to help decision-making for technical adaptation to specific customer needs.
This involves digitising environmental analysis modules (air quality, water quality, turbidity), in particular through technical and engineering missions in marine and river environments (bathymetry, reconnaissance, species counting), to assess the feasibility of this type of multi-energy platform. This digital twin will make it possible to integrate electric recharging interfaces for drones, bicycles, cars and boats, powered according to the energy available.
The value of the project lies in its ability to offer innovative solutions, The digital twin developed will be adaptable to various energy recovery sites, depending on the specific data required for each study site. The digital twin developed will be adaptable to various energy recovery sites, depending on the data specific to each study site.
The digital twin is designed to model a floating energy recovery platform. It is based on a multi-physics approach to provide a powerful decision-making tool. Environmental forcings (sunshine, waves, currents, wind) and energy recovery systems (solar panels, wind turbines and tidal turbines) have been modelled and validated independently. The models incorporate real-time data and advanced sensors to improve the accuracy and relevance of the simulations.
A nautical drone is being developed to demonstrate the feasibility of localised use of the energy produced by the float. The drone will carry out regular bathymetric surveys, move autonomously and recharge without human intervention. It is equipped with sensors to collect environmental data and is designed to navigate in specific areas of Honfleur harbour..
The project has a total budget of €618,543.
The TWIN POWER project is funded by the CPIER Vallée de Seine - ADEME, Région Normandie and Région Île de France are providing €344,153.
