Digital twin concept for renewable energy sources

Abstract

In this study, research has been conducted on how to adapt the digital twin concept on wind and solar energy systems, which are alternatives to existing energy sources and have the largest share compared to other alternative energy sources. Predictions have been made on possible benefits provided to these energy sources by the digital twin concept, which is one of the popular study topics today. For this purpose, firstly, the concept of the digital twin is introduced and information about its recent applications is given. Then, information is given about how the digital twin concept can be adapted to alternative energy sources, as suggested within the scope of the study. In addition, academic studies in the field of renewable/alternative energy resources are examined and evaluations are made on the findings.
