Understanding Digital Twin Technology

The document discusses digital twins, which are virtual representations of physical objects that can mimic the object's performance. Digital twins allow designers to test designs virtually and predict aging. They monitor physical objects throughout their lifecycles. Digital twins have characteristics like connectivity, reprogrammability, and ability to generate digital traces. They are used in applications like manufacturing, healthcare, robotics and more to improve design, detection, and post-manufacturing visibility. Underlying technologies include IoT, data science, AI and AR/VR.

What are Digital Twins ?

 A digital twin is made up of data sets and it

is a virtual representation of a physical object


which can accurately mimic the performance
of the physical object in a virtual platform.

The concept of Digital twin was first used in


Davin Gelernter’s 1991 book called mirror
worlds.
 Michael Greaves of Polida
Institute of technology implemented
the concept of digital twin in
manufacturing.

 later NASA implemented this


concept in the 2010 roadmap report
WHY DO WE NEED DIGITAL TWIN
According to the Wind Turbine

 It helps in designing and optimization part

 It helps to predict the aging effect

 It is capable of monitoring the performance of the

wind turbine throughout the whole life cycle


CHARACTERISTICS OF DIGITAL TWIN
Digital technologies have certain characteristics that distinguish them from
other technologies.

 Connectivity

 Homogenization

 Reprogrammable and Smart

 Digital Traces

 Modularity
