Abstract:
Future reliability and resiliency of the power grid is dependent upon the collaboration between distribution and transmission planning organizations on ensuring that the increasing penetration of distributed energy resources (DER) is accommodated. The large-scale power system planning challenges that system planners are currently confronting will become more pressing and widespread in the future.
An electrical digital twin is the foundation to this integrated planning function. The digital twin models and simulates network performance so owner-operators can understand the potential impacts and risks that confront electric utilities. Technology innovation is evolving the digital twin from a moment-in-time snapshot to a just-in-time forecast where both distribution and transmission planning engineers can look 10 to 20 years in the future to simulate "what if?" scenarios and plan demand. Using the digital twin foundation, the models will be continuously updated to near real-time status using multiple data sources that enable the visualization of assets, status checks, and analysis to predict and optimize network performance.
During this webinar, you will hear from our panel of experts from Siemens, Bentley, SEPA and SAS Institute on how technology innovation is evolving the digital twin that will enable transmission and distribution planners to leverage an integrated planning approach and address the expansion of distributed energy and the transformation of the power grid. These visionary leaders will address various questions around the electrical network digital twin and explain how technology is helping to evolve the digital twin foundation.
