Practical Digital Twins Application to High Energy Systems: Thermal Protection for Multi-Detector.

The digital twins concept brings a new perspective into the system design and maintenance practice. As any industrial process can be accurately simulated, its digital replica can be utilized to design a control system structure, evaluate its efficacy and investigate the properties of the real system and possible issues. Based on such an analysis, ideas for improvement may be formulated. This article reports the formulation of a digital twin system developed for a Thermal System (TS) maintaining proper thermal conditions for the operation of the Silicon Tracking Detectors (STDs) utilized for high-energy physics experiments. A thermal system digital twin is built for a full-scale target installation, which is right now during the construction phase. The emphasis is put on a proper control system design using the thermal system digital twins. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
