  • Publication number: 20250029433
    Abstract: A device obtains modelling data associated with energy consumption of a model vehicle. The modelling data are generated by a digital model of the vehicle in operation. The device obtains operating data associated with energy consumption of the vehicle in operation. The device compares the operating data to the modelling data. Based on a result of the comparing, the device detects a discrepancy between the operating data and the modelling data and associated with the energy consumption. The device evaluates the detected discrepancy associated with the energy consumption. The device triggers an operation when the discrepancy has been detected.

  • Publication number: 20240410529
    Abstract: A storage facility includes a tank for transporting and/or storing gas in a liquid state, the tank including at least one insulation layer, a gas-consuming device, and one device for suctioning the gas present in the insulation layer. The suction device includes a primary branch fluidly connected to the gas-consuming device, at least one secondary branch fluidly connected to the insulation layer of the tank and through which the gas from the insulation layer flows, and at least one suction member configured to suction the gas flowing through the secondary branch.

  • Patent number: 11879598
    Abstract: A method of determining an optimum value of at least one first parameter of execution of a process for cooling an internal space of a tank, including testing a plurality of different values of the first parameter, each phase of testing one of the values of the first parameter including cooling the internal space of the tank, the cooling power Pf or the setpoint final temperature Tc being representative of the tested value of the first parameter. The steps include loading liquefied gas into the internal space of the tank after cooling, measuring a variable P1 representative of the pressure inside the thermal insulation barrier and comparing it to at least one particular threshold, and detecting a fault if the variable P1 crosses the at least one particular threshold, and choosing, among the plurality of values tested, the optimum value of the first parameter during the corresponding test phase.
