VICE and the Digital Twin at the Pre-Christmas Hydrogen Infoday
Dňa 10. decembra 2025 sme sa zúčastnili podujatia Predvianočný vodíkový Infoday v Bratislave. Súčasťou programu bola prezentácia VICE – Vertical Integrated Cyclic Energy, Hydrogen, vedená Laurie Farmerom.
The presentation was prepared and delivered jointly, with each member of the team presenting their respective expert section:
- Laurie Farmer vysvetlil technologický koncept ukladania prebytočnej energie do vodíka a jeho význam pre energetické systémy.
- Lucia Malíčková vysvetlila ako bol Farmerov koncept integrovaný do digitálneho dvojčaťa, ktoré umožňuje simuláciu rôznych scenárov, analýzu prevádzky a optimalizáciu energetických cyklov.
Prezentácia demonštrovala:
- the potential of hydrogen as a stabilizing element within the energy infrastructure,
- the possibilities for efficient storage and utilisation of energy surpluses,
- the advantages of linking energy concepts with HPC simulations through the digital twin,
- the practical application of modelling for future energy and industrial solutions.
The event brought a wealth of insightful discussions and confirmed the growing importance of connecting hydrogen technologies with digital solutions. We look forward to further collaboration with partners from the energy, research, and industrial sectors, as well as to new opportunities that will allow us to continue advancing innovative approaches to sustainable energy.
BeeGFS in Practice — Parallel File Systems for HPC, AI and Data-Intensive Workloads 6 Feb - This webinar introduces BeeGFS, a leading parallel file system designed to support demanding HPC, AI, and data-intensive workloads. Experts from ThinkParQ will explain how parallel file systems work, how BeeGFS is architected, and how it is used in practice across academic, research, and industrial environments.
When a production line knows what will happen in 10 minutes 5 Feb - Every disruption on a production line creates stress. Machines stop, people wait, production slows down, and decisions must be made under pressure. In the food industry—especially in the production of filled pasta products, where the process follows a strictly sequential set of technological steps—one unexpected issue at the end of the line can bring the entire production flow to a halt. But what if the production line could warn in advance that a problem will occur in a few minutes? Or help decide, already during a shift, whether it still makes sense to plan packaging later the same day? These were exactly the questions that stood at the beginning of a research collaboration that brought together industrial data, artificial intelligence, and supercomputing power.
Who Owns AI Inside an Organisation? — Operational Responsibility 5 Feb - This webinar focuses on how organisations can define clear operational responsibility and ownership of AI systems in a proportionate and workable way. Drawing on hands-on experience in data protection, AI governance, and compliance, Petra Fernandes will explore governance approaches that work in practice for both SMEs and larger organisations. The session will highlight internal processes that help organisations stay in control of their AI systems over time, without creating unnecessary administrative burden.
