What is a digital twin?
A digital twin is a live virtual model of a physical asset, fed by sensors so it mirrors the real engine moment by moment.
Paired with sensor monitoring, it lets operators see inside their engines without taking them apart, understanding exactly how they behave and catching issues early. For green fuels, where safety margins are tight, that visibility is essential.
How it works
From physical signals to predictive insight, in three steps.
Sense
Sensors track temperature, pressure, emissions and leaks across the engine and fuel system in real time.
Model
A digital twin mirrors the physical asset in software, turning live data into a continuously updated virtual copy.
Predict
AI analytics read the twin to spot faults early, optimise performance and flag maintenance before failures happen.
Why it matters for green fuels
New fuels bring new risks. Smart monitoring is what makes running them safe, reliable and efficient.
Safety first
Early leak detection is critical for toxic or flammable fuels like ammonia and hydrogen, protecting crew and assets.
More uptime
Predictive maintenance catches problems before they cause failures, cutting unplanned downtime at sea.
Cleaner operation
Continuous tuning keeps combustion efficient and emissions low as conditions and fuels change.
3Y Energy sensors and analytics
We provide digital twin and sensor-based monitoring for leak detection, AI-based analytics and predictive maintenance, built for green-fuel engines.
Our systems watch the engine and fuel line in real time, flag leaks and anomalies before they escalate, and use AI to optimise performance over the life of the asset. They connect to our intelligent green-fuel database, so insight from one deployment helps improve the next.
Powered by our green-fuel database
Monitoring and analytics are backed by an AI-powered database of green-fuel behaviour.
Every test and deployment feeds an intelligent green-fuel database that captures how different fuels ignite, burn and age across engines and conditions. This shared knowledge sharpens our predictions, speeds up retrofits and helps customers adopt clean fuels with confidence, on land and at sea.
