Chapter 8: Enhancing the Digital Twin
In Chapter 7, Deployment and Value Tracking, we discussed how to perform functional testing and then planned the deployment and rollout of the pilot for the Digital Twin. We looked at the ways to track the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and the overall value of the Digital Twin of the wind turbines. A successful pilot deployment of a Digital Twin often leads to rollout at scale to achieve the targeted business goals.
In this chapter, we will look at ways to enhance the Digital Twin beyond the pilot phase. We will consider the perspective of different organizations to drive economic outcomes. We will cover the following topics in this chapter:
- Defining the Twin of Twins
- Evaluating the First Digital Twin in the Full System
- Identifying related Twins
- Planning Composite Twins
- Enhancements and next steps
Let's start with the digital "twin of twins" concept.
