Evaluating the first Digital Twin in the full system
In Chapter 7, Deployment and Value Tracking, we discussed functional testing of the Digital Twin of the wind turbine. This included testing the Digital Twin infrastructure as well as testing the Digital Twin application. Such testing precedes the pilot rollout of the Digital Twin. In Figure 7.12, we showed the success criteria for the pilot of the Digital Twin. Furthermore, Figure 7.17 to Figure 7.19 showed how to capture and present the KPIs in this context. Finally, we discussed the two rollout approaches:
- The big bang approach
- The phased approach
The big bang approach works well for mature technologies such as the rollout of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, where technology and functionality are very well understood by the stakeholders. The big bang approach for emerging technology adds more risk from technology, adoption, and economic perspectives. We will look at a phased approach here for the...
