Summary
Fortum has agreed to support the development of Finnish technology company Steady Energy's district heating nuclear reactor with its simulation expertise. The goal is to create a comprehensive digital twin for Steady Energy's LDR-50 reactor using Apros software.
Apros, the result of decades of development work by Fortum and Finland's state-owned VTT Technical Research Centre, is an advanced software product for modelling and dynamic simulation of power plants, energy systems and industrial processes. Apros products and services have been sold in more than 30 countries around the world to a wide range of users: EPC project suppliers, equipment manufacturers, energy companies, engineering firms, research institutes and universities.
Fortum will use this software to create a digital twin - or simulation model - of the LDR-50 to enable Steady Energy to carry out comparison analyses related to the licensing of district heating reactors in Finland. In addition, the Apros model will be used to solve technical issues related to the functionality and dimensioning of the new plant type.
