From Digital Twins to Real-Time Simulation Standardisation

Authors: Pablo Vicente Legazpi, Paula de Miguel, Robert Birke and Miguel Lopez Introduction: Between 2018 and 2022, the newly established Building Digital Twin Association (BDTA), proposed an ambitious and innovative approach during the SPHERE project1 (GA No. 820805): transferring technologies originally developed for life-support systems in the aerospace field to everyday applications such as thermal comfort […]

Digital Twins for Data Centre Cooling Optimisation and Waste Heat Recovery

Authors: Sara Giordani, Rossano Scoccia, and Marcello Aprile Abstract. The paper explores the development of a Digital Twin (DT) for the management and optimisation of heat recovery in data centres, using HYCOOL- IT project demo site. The project features the development of a “Building Digital Twin Environment” as a “Platform as a Service”, integrating SIMBOT-based […]

Preliminary model for an adsorption chiller designed for data centre rack- based cooling

Authors: A.J. Di Cicco, M. Aprile, W. Mittelbach, A. Freni, and T. Toppi Abstract: A novel concept for a rack-integrated adsorption chiller integrates a compact adsorption chiller within each server rack for hybrid liquid/air cooling. This system utilizes the server’s waste heat as the driving input for the ad/desorption processes. The compact design incorporates direct […]
