The concept of digital twins has been discussed across the energy sector for years. From city-wide grid systems to individual wind turbines, creating a virtual copy of an asset to assess its performance is gaining traction. However, for many, it remains an abstract idea.

In the latest episode of Energy Enablers, David Weston is joined by Fergal Burke, Chief Revenue Officer of Siemens Grid Software, to demystify digital twins, particularly within the context of grid systems and their role in the energy transition.

Burke sheds light on the tangible impact of digital products on our lives and their potential to drive decarbonisation. He uses the analogy of comparing a paper map to Google Maps to illustrate the workings of a digital twin. Burke also emphasises the critical importance of data quality, "Your network is only as good as its data."
