Dataset of an experimental campaign of a Digital Twin for a biomass-to-SNG pilot plant

This dataset contains the results of the Digital Twin for a biomass-to-SNG pilot plant created within the ADORe-SNG project. 

Changes

In version 1.1.0, a small error in the IPSEpro simulation data was corrected.

Context and methodology

A Digital Twin was created for a biomass-to-SNG pilot plant at TU Wien.

The plant was automated and optimised using model predictive control (MPC), online process simulation and a soft sensor.

The data presented here is the output of these software tools that controlled the plant and were presented to the operators in real time.

The plant data stems from an excerpt of 9.5 hours from an experimental campaign in November 2023

The dataset accompanies a publication wherein further details regarding methods can be found.

Technical details

The data consist of four files:

Two CSV files with the outputs of the MPC

Data_MPC_DFB.csv with a sampling rate of 5 seconds

Data_MPC_Syngas.csv with a sampling rate of 1 second

One CSV file with the results of the soft sensor

Data_SoftSensor.csv with a sampling rate of 1 second retimed to 1 minute

One JSON file with the inputs and outputs of the online process simulation in the software IPSEpro

Data_IPSE.json with a sampling rate of 1 minute

The variable names in the files are explained in the attached README.txt
