Researchers from the University of Bari in Italy and the University of Sharjah in the UAE have conducted a review of digital twin technology for renewable energy infrastructure, highlighting its current benefits and identifying untapped opportunities for future exploration<\/h2>\n

The review, titled\u00a0“Harnessing the future: Exploring digital twin applications and implications in renewable energy<\/em><\/a>,” found that the technology is being utilised across wind, solar, hydropower, geothermal, and biomass technologies for different purposes, including:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Digital twins are effective at monitoring the condition of wind turbines, predicting damage and making recommendations to improve turbine performance.<\/li>\n
  2. Analysing solar photovoltaic systems is simplified, and digital twins can be used to simulate the output of solar panels as well as detect faults.<\/li>\n
  3. Hydropower systems use digital twins to forecast system behaviours and maintain a watch for structural issues within the renewable energy infrastructure.<\/li>\n
  4. Digital twins are useful for modelling drilling in geothermal technologies and heat pump systems.<\/li>\n
  5. In biomass technologies, digital twins can simulate boiler operations and use data to improve plant performance, boosting manufacturing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The research also analysed when digital twins are usually employed, finding that the design phase is a popular time for them, as they can model the system virtually to identify potential issues that can be remedied before physical implementation.<\/p>\n

    During the production and service phases, they are used to monitor real-time performance of renewable energy infrastructure, and simulate behaviour to help guide decision-making.<\/p>\n

    There are still some issues in using digital twin technology<\/h3>\n

    However, despite the myriad uses for digital twins<\/a> in this sector, the research found that there is a lack of standardised architectures across energy systems, potentially causing delays as each digital twin is built from the ground up to have the same basic architecture: the physical layer (real world system and sensors), the network later (communication systems to transmit data), and the digital later (virtual model for simulation, AI, analytical tools, etc.).<\/p>\n

    There is also a limited amount of research and literature on the topic, especially regarding tidal, ocean thermal, wave energy, small-, and micro-hydro, as DT technologies for these systems are relatively new. Furthermore, the integration of digital twins with renewable energy infrastructure can often be difficult due to the sheer diversity of function, and a lack of a stable reference point, coupled with the need for large amounts of historical and current data.<\/p>\n

    The report states: \u201cFew studies have been published on incorporating digital twin technology throughout all stages of a physical asset\u2019s lifecycle. To fully utilise the capabilities of digital twin technology in the future, collaboration between stakeholders and decision-makers is necessary to explore its potential in the production phase. This will allow for a comprehensive, real-time simulation of processes to meet the necessary requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n
