Description
The grid of today is one that is complex, unpredictable, and dynamic. These traits will be exponentially exacerbated, and new challenges will arise for the grid of tomorrow. The processes and technologies internal to electric utilities must adapt and evolve to prepare for these challenges and even enable utilities to improve their KPIs compared to today. This presentation will highlight Southern California Edison's vision and progress relating to digital twins. The presenter will define digital twins, the proposed architecture and implementation considerations, existing digital twin efforts within the company, and potential collaboration opportunities with industry to achieve this vision.
