Additionally, the recent increase in energy demand for data centers, catalyzed by the expanded use of artificial intelligence, is leading to an expectedBut the energy sector isn’t only experiencing challenges when it comes to an increased global demand for energy. Logistical challenges driven by climate requirements, government responses to climate change and social pressures remain.
This allows engineers greater visibility into where improvements can be made or how they can make a plan more efficient and sustainable, work better within a network of systems and so on. This means that digital twins can connect all aspects of the energy grid through a so-called"digital thread." Digital twins also open up possibilities for incremental infrastructure investments, prioritizing areas of highest need. The insights and projections that digital twins provide can help energy operators learn more about their systems and what is going to fail or need replacement first. Essentially, this takes all the guesswork out of modernizing the grid and gives clarity as to what needs to be handled first.
