Digital Twin for Operational Optimization of High Voltage Electrical Substations

The operational management of high-voltage electrical substations faces the challenge of interpreting large volumes of technical and operational information that, in many cases, is fragmented across different platforms. This condition limits the ability to comprehensively analyze assets and makes it difficult to anticipate special conditions. In this scenario, digital twins are presented as an alternative for consolidating information and supporting operation and maintenance processes. This paper describes an applied experience in which a digital twin is used as an operational support tool in a high-voltage electrical substation, based on a previously structured digital model. The approach focuses on defining a realistic, operationoriented functional scope and on the progressive…
