Digital Twins Rise to “Power” (Download)

Read this article online.

Digital twins have the potential to play a major role in power electronics by speeding up prototyping, optimizing designs for higher power density, and enabling preventative maintenance for higher reliability.

A digital twin is a digital replica of a machine, device, or any other physical system, and it uses vast amounts of data to track its characteristics, properties, conditions, and behaviors. Central to any digital twin is a high-fidelity, interactive model running in real-time. The model is constantly updated based on feedback from multiple sensors in the system, while the data can also be used to provide analytical and statistical insights.
