DIPS Digital Twin Technology

<p>The <a href="https://energy.erc.monash.edu/2022/07/05/the-ambition-for-smart-energy-cities-and-the-modern-role-of-universities-in-getting-there/" target="_blank">Monash Smart Energy City project</a> provides a lens into the Clayton campus of Monash University, where distributed energy resources (DERs) appear as if they were instruments in a research laboratory.  An outcome of the project is the Distributed and Intelligent Power Systems (DIPS) platform (<a href="https://energy.erc.monash.edu/2022/07/05/data-engineering-the-distributed-and-intelligent-power-system-in-sec/" target="_blank">see our recent announcement</a>). DIPS brokers the large volume of data from sensors in a dynamic power environment, enabling predictive analysis and archiving for later use. </p> <p><br></p> <p>This blog is about the Digital Twins aspect of the Monash Smart Energy City Project, an initiative building on DIPS to develop a simulated replica of the campus microgrid to enable data analytics (power data forecasting and fault detection) closer to the edge devices by implementing machine learning algorithms </p>
