Chen, B.Q., Videiro, P.M. and Guedes Soares, C. (2022), “Opportunities and challenges to develop digital twins for subsea pipelines”, Journal of Maritime Science and Engineering, Vol. 10, 739.
A vision of the digital twin and its evolution is provided, with a coverage of the current applications and the challenges of the digital twins of the subsea pipelines in the design, construction, service life and assessments of life extension, and enabling technologies together with reflections and recommendations. It is described that the digitalization of subsea assets is taking place with many initiatives, where realistic virtual models of structural systems are essential to bridge the gap between design and construction and they mirror the real into a virtual world. Challenges in properly using the new tools and how to create accurate digital twins considering data acquired during the construction phase are discussed. The key opportunities for improved integrity management using the digital twin are data contextualization, standardization, automated anomaly detection, and learning through sharing. The collection, interpretation and sharing of data, and the cyber-security are identified as some of the main challenges.
