GFIS EcoTwinBioenergy engineering laboratory

SIH 2026 / Renewable & sustainable energy

Bioenergy,
made observable.

A plant has a history. Every decision should too. GFIS EcoTwin brings reactor records, model comparison and visible process simulation into one engineering workspace.

The working environment

Explore the plant.
Follow the evidence.

Measured reactor histories and synthetic scenarios serve different purposes. Each view keeps the source, units and limits visible.

01 / Replay laboratory

The record behind
the reading.

Move through reactor history, compare previous-record persistence and inspect the reason behind a screening alert. Save and export an event for review.

Open replay & scenario controls ↗

Retained public observations. Scenario outputs are synthetic. Event memory in this SIH lab is browser-local.

Explainable engineering

Nothing useful
ends at a number.

The research compares prediction methods. The simulator explores declared scenarios. Student development connects traceable sensor packets to visible plant state.

  1. 01 / INPUT

    Establish the source

    Retain reactor identity, timestamp, target meaning, units and missing-data flags.

  2. 02 / MODEL

    Compare fairly

    Evaluate persistence, XGBoost and LSTM with chronological separation and train-only transforms.

  3. 03 / SIMULATE

    Inspect the response

    Explore a synthetic 48-hour horizon. Check the gas balance, storage limits and scenario assumptions.

  4. 04 / REVIEW

    Keep the reasoning

    Retain inputs, outputs and event context so another student can reproduce the demonstration.

The field context

A real installation.
A defined next step.

The farm gives the team a physical setting for equipment inventory and supervised observation. The software already provides a place to test scenarios and inspect records.

The student prototype work covers the telemetry schema, ROS2 adapter, asset-state mapping and fault testing. Connecting and calibrating the farm remains a separate supervised milestone.
