Digital Energy Twins are IT systems, interconnecting sensor data, simulation models and user interfaces to formulate a virtual representation of the behavior of real energy systems. Digital Energy Twins are useful to predict the behavior of energy systems under varying boundary conditions and to optimize their operation considering economic and ecologic impact. Two different concepts of Digital Twins applicable to industrial energy systems were demonstrated: Digital Energy Twins and Digital Energy Shadows. While in literature, the term “Digital Twin” is widely used as synonym, for rather different applications involving simulations and virtual models connected to real-world data, this paper elaborates on the differences between digital twins and digital shadows in more detail. Given by the complexity of real-world energy systems (heat and electricity) and their implications on real time simulation, the concepts are demonstrated on different TRL levels. The results show the benefits and limitations of Digital Energy Twin and Digital Energy Shadow applications in relevant environments.
