Inovativní přístupy k projektování rozváděčů se zaměřením na digitalizaci a tvorbu digitálních dvojčat

Abstract

This thesis deals with the design of switchgear with a focus on digitalization and the creation of digital twins, which currently reflect trends in the field of electrical engineering design. The aim of this thesis is to analyse and use innovative methods to design an approach for the creation of design documents with an emphasis on the use of digital models in combination with technology. The first part of the thesis describes the current state of standardization in digital design and analyzes the key trends that are shaping the future of electrical engineering systems. Furthermore, digital twins of two switchboards are designed and created, which will subsequently be used not only for teaching purposes but also for promotional events. These switchboards concern the wiring of a smart home using a decentralised KNX system and the second switchboard concerns three motor control options for industrial applications. The models are then exported using EPLAN ProPanel software to Unity software for subsequent visualisation. The next part of the work is focused on the development of an interface for transferring real measured data from the switchboards to the visualization platform. Based on this interface, an application is developed that enables the virtualization of digital models with support for virtual reality interaction. This application provides users with the ability to simulate and test switchgear functions in a safe and efficient environment. The use of machine learning methods in the context of digitalisation and visual inspection of switchboards is also discussed separately in this thesis. The theoretical part is supported by a functional model based on neural networks, which enables automatic detection and classification of selected features and anomalies in image data. This concept represents a potential extension of digital twins with intelligent analysis and predictive maintenance capabilities, opening the way to further increase reliability and efficiency in the operation of electrical switchgear. The paper concludes with a summary of the benefits of implementing digital twins in electrical engineering design. I will follow this up with more in-depth analysis and research as part of my dissertation, which will be carried out at this university.
