TwinTalks: Energy Utilities

Utilities are dealing with multiple business challenges around sustainability, resilience, and decentralization. Facing increased pressure to optimize the performance of existing assets, coupled with the need to modernize the grid for the future, utility owner-operators are embracing digital twin workflows, as they look to gain or retain competitive advantage – all while ensuring minimum disruption to existing operations.  Terrence O’Hanlon explores how digital twins provide insights to the physical and digital environment of utility assets to deliver real-time simulations and analysis as well as richer, immersive experiences for faster and more-informed decision-making.
