Desenvolvimento de gêmeo digital com suporte em realidade virtual para sistema de transposição de peixes em hidrelétricas

Abstract

One of the problems commonly faced by Hydro Power Plants (HHP) is related to the inefficiency of their fish transposition system (FTS). Often, the implemented system is not functioning properly, due to lack of control, monitoring, operational capacity, orderly maintenance procedures and data transparency. If the FTS does not work correctly, the fish, instead of opting for the alternative path offered by the system, end up following water flows that do not result in migration. In this context, the environmental inspection bodies hold the enterprise responsible for the damage caused to the environment and the community, through the application of fines. Some pass through the pipelines of the generating machines, others remain parked on the dam threshold or close to the spillway. Thus, they are held hostage by the operations carried out at the plant, which can pro mote the mass death of fish. Having presented the problem, the objective of this work is to create a digital twin (DT) supported by virtual reality for a FTS, aiming at the general optimization of the structure. In this way, it will be possible to control the real structure through a computational model that faithfully represents the physical system. The im plemented DT consists of four main tools: 2D supervisory, 3D supervisory, maintenance management system and a mobile application. Each tool has a specific function and was created to make up the needs of operation, monitoring and maintenance. In addition, the set assists in the construction of operating histories, which contribute to the transparency and presentation of data.
