Powering safety and sustainability in energy with industrial and scientific digital twins.
Energy companies can develop physically accurate, AI-enabled digital twins to design, simulate, and optimize products, equipment, and processes in real time before going to production. With virtual assets perfectly synced with their real-world counterparts, this approach maximizes energy production, reduces unplanned downtime, and lowers costs for both enterprises and their customers.
Learn how Siemens Energy developed AI surrogate models for complex engineering systems using NVIDIA Modulus, an open-source framework for building, training, and fine-tuning physics-informed machine learning (physics-ML) models.
Discover how the new CUDA® math library NVIDIA cuDSS 0.2.0 was integrated into Honeywell Unisim Design to achieve up to a 78X performance increase over traditional sparse linear equation solvers.
Simulating power plants, grid assets, and distributed energy resources.
Energy companies are building digital twins to accurately model industrial equipment, processes, and workflows—–such as power plants, wind farms, solar grids, and more—for safe, autonomous operations. The solution uses NVIDIA Modulus, a framework for developing physics-informed machine learning (physics-ML) models, and NVIDIA Omniverse, the platform for developing OpenUSD applications for industrial digitalization and physical AI simulation. Using industrial digital twins, utilities can enhance safety, improve power generation, and save billions of dollars per year in maintenance.
Predicting renewable energy generation and speeding up workloads.
As 3D simulations increase in size and scale, accelerated computing delivers higher fidelity and performance for true-to-reality climate, weather, and engineering modeling. This includes estimating the impact of cloud cover on solar energy generation, wind speeds for wind energy generation, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) workloads. Faster time to results leads to less electricity consumed, reducing operating costs and improving energy efficiency.
Protecting worker health and safety while maximizing productivity.
Edge AI enables energy providers to deliver functional safety and security. NVIDIA IGX Orin™ is an industrial-grade platform that combines enterprise-level hardware, software, and support. With IGX, enterprises can ensure proactive safety in autonomous environments, utilize high-performance and energy-efficient systems built for low-latency, real-time applications, and apply the latest in embedded device security, remote provisioning, and management.
Detecting leaks and intrusions with edge AI and geospatial data analysis.
Energy companies are using edge AI and geospatial data to actively monitor oil and gas infrastructure, ensuring real-time detection of risks from leaks, digging, vehicles, and unauthorized access. By reducing false positives and auto-generating alerts, pipeline operators save costs from oil or gas loss and unplanned downtime.
Identifying potential hazards from industrial equipment and processes.
Protecting workers is critical on offshore oil rigs and other industrial sites using heavy machinery. Intelligent video analytics uses computer vision and AI at the edge to identify potential hazards, determine maintenance and repair needs, and enable real-time alerts to prevent industrial accidents.

We will continue to collect data, not just on how our wind turbines operate, but also weather forecasting, site planning, and other areas to optimize wind turbine sites. We're exploring augmented reality and extended reality as wind turbines are complicated machines with many types of failure modes. It's imperative to make sure the wind turbines operate safely and service technicians know how to do service repairs in the right way.
