Purpose and goal
Develop and validate data-driven decision support for flexible energy management in electrified groundwork construction using digital twins. DISSECT develops digital twins and data-driven decision support that enable scenario analysis, planning, and optimization of material flows, logistics, and energy use under grid constraints. The project delivers a validated prototype integrated into commercial workflows for the building and infrastructure construction sector.
Expected effects and result
DISSECT is expected to deliver data-driven decision support based on digital twins for flexible energy management in electrified groundwork construction. The project will enable improved planning of energy use, logistics and material flows, reduce power demand and emissions, and identify and utilize flexibility. The results will be integrated into a commercial platform to support broad adoption across the construction sector.
Planned approach and implementation
The project is organized into five work packages. It begins by defining requirements, data, and key performance indicators with the industrial partners. Digital twins for material, logistics, energy, and flexibility modelling are then developed and integrated into a data-driven decision-support system. The solutions are validated in real construction projects, integrated into a commercial platform, and disseminated through scientific publications, industrial collaboration, and exploitation.
