Electrical digital twin

Why Electrical digital twin?

The Siemens Electrical Digital Twin provides utilities with a single source of truth to model data across their entire IT landscape. This optimizes grid performance by simplifying data maintenance and reducing errors. Its unique value is the creation of a single, vendor-neutral model for integrated transmission and distribution analysis across all utility domains.

Industry applications include:
Transmission network model management across planning and operations
Protection data management
Streamlined renewable integration analysis using GIS data
Automated operations planning case creation
Data management and integrated T&D analysis
Distribution planning model creation and synchronization with GIS, ADMS and MDM data

Key benefits

Increase efficiency and optimize processes

Eliminate duplicate processes and facilitate automation. Unify the modeling process and data governance across different functions.
