[Mind Map.pdf](https://t90151962997.p.clickup-attachments.com/t90151962997/2303a3ad-4803-40b7-a6a1-f63bbe14ef0f/comments.pdf)

**Team Discussion**
Task: Wednesday discussion
Purpose:
*   Discuss current plans.
*   Clarify the next direction.
*   Arrange a working session/evening to align the simulation work.
**Emails and External Guidance**
Current status: 3 replies received
Actions:
1. Read the assigned paper.
2. Send emails to arrange a call or meeting. - DONE
3. Send slides when required.
Purpose:
To seek guidance from people with experience in digital twins, microgrids, hybrid energy systems, and simulation-based implementation.
**Current Status of Simulation Work**
Component Development:
*   Separate component models are mostly completed.
*   Current progress is around 75% done. - We can move on to next step . 75% ( Grid is not ready thats all)
**Next Step:**
The next major step is to combine all separate components into one integrated system-level model.
Planned Workflow:
1. Arrange a work session.
2. Combine all components into one Simulink model.
3. Test whether the combined model runs correctly.
4. Data Generation
→ Main Idea for Simulation Work
The hydrogen digital twin paper is being used as the main inspiration.
Core Idea:
*   The paper shows that a digital twin model can be built using component-based models.
*   Based on this idea, our combined components can be used to produce simulated data.
*   The end goal is to generate data from the integrated simulation model.
Key Point:
Data production from components is the final goal.
Proposed Simulation Steps
**Step 1 — Combine Components**
Connect all individual models into one complete system.
Components may include:
*   Solar PV
*   Battery
*   Electrolyzer
*   Hydrogen tank
*   Fuel cell
*   Hospital load
*   Grid - towards the end
**Step 2 — Define Inputs and Outputs - (Completed)**
Each component should have clearly defined inputs and outputs.
Inputs may include:
*   Solar irradiance
*   Hospital load demand
*   Battery state of charge
*   Hydrogen tank level
*   Grid availability
Outputs may include:
*   PV power
*   Battery power
*   Electrolyzer hydrogen production
*   Hydrogen tank volume
*   Fuel cell power
*   Grid import/export
*   Unserved load

**Step 3 — Data Generation**
Once the combined model runs, use it to generate simulation data.
Requirement:
A basic workability check is needed first.
Check that:
*   All components are connected properly.
*   Signals flow correctly.
*   No unrealistic values occur.
*   The system produces reasonable outputs.
After basic check:
The model can be improved and refined.

**Research on Hospital Data**
Hospital data is still under research.
Current Findings:
1. A 2025 hospital load / energy audit paper may be useful for Step 3, especially for creating or validating hospital load profiles.
2. Hospital load website -- that produces data -- its working - but requires looking into it
3. More data research is still needed and is currently in progress.
