Talk Abstract:

Failures in marine propulsion systems, though infrequent, can cause significant safety and economic consequences through loss of propulsion (LOP) events. Emerging maritime trends—including hydrogen propulsion, Arctic navigation, and autonomous operations—further increase the need for advanced condition monitoring. This study reviews digital twin (DT) research for marine propulsion systems, highlighting the limited focus on component-level DTs despite their potential for predictive maintenance and reliability improvement. Key challenges include limited dynamic models, computational cost, data availability, ownership issues, and communication constraints. To address these gaps, the study proposes the Digital Twin Research Hub (DTRH), a bond graph–based multi-physics framework for developing efficient component-level DTs and fostering interdisciplinary <a href="http://collaboration.
