Building Industrial Digital Twins

Chapter 6: Building the Digital Twin Prototype

In Chapter 5, Setting up a Digital Twin Prototype, we discussed the enablers for building the prototype of the Digital Twin. We looked at the required capabilities of the Digital Twin that can be met by the public cloud and IoT platforms, as the underlying technologies. We further investigated Digital Twin platforms and looked at the configuration and setup details. We discussed the data considerations and the overall solution architecture for the Digital Twin.

In this chapter, we will investigate the development process of the Digital Twin prototype of the identified industrial asset, which is a wind turbine and a fleet of turbines at a wind farm.

Figure 6.1 shows the conceptual view of the Digital ...
