The study focuses on the development of a digital twin of a coal-rock mass for comprehensive modeling of subsoil development in the Kuzbass region. The primary focus is on the technology for creating a digital model of the geological structure of deposits, incorporating the integration of diverse data, including geophysical, geological, and technogenic parameters. The application of the digital twin is considered a key tool for enhancing the efficiency of mining operations and deepening the understanding of geological processes occurring in the deposit.
The methods of data collection and analysis, including seismic and electromagnetic surveys, are described, ensuring the model’s reliability. The use of modern geographic information systems (GIS) allows for the integration of spatial and attribute data within a unified virtual environment, facilitating the creation of three-dimensional models that represent the structure of the rock mass and its physical characteristics. These models enable the analysis of various development scenarios, prediction of the stress-strain state of the rock mass, and risk management.
The role of the digital twin in optimizing equipment selection processes, ensuring safety, and minimizing the environmental impact of mining is highlighted. The potential for modeling various scenarios to assess impacts, forecast changes, and rationalize technical solutions is discussed. Additionally, the digital twin is proposed as a platform for data integration, implementing innovative approaches, and training personnel.
