The Place and Role of Digital Twin Applications: Directions for Energy and Education Sector
Today’s many challenges include low productivity, a lack of R&D, and poor technical advancements faced by many industries. Digital twins (DT) applications are used in both the energy and education sectors to tackle challenging problems. For instance, future complex power plants will need DT technology to achieve high availability, dependability, and ease of maintenance at lower costs. On the other hand, DT can help institutions create simulation models based on course requirements and make the ultimate immersive learning experience achievable. By using DT technologies in Augmented Reality (AR) or Virtual Reality (VR) simulated learning experiences, students can learn abstract concepts in their learning style. In this way, the employment of DT technologies in higher education can improve learning outcomes, enhance understanding, and promote student motivation for a better learning experience. The opportunity to combine the physical and digital worlds is provided by DT applications, and DT technology has the potential to address challenges in the energy and education sectors. As a result, the idea of DT draws a great deal of enthusiasm and is the step of development. The current chapter’s main aim is to thoroughly analyze the concepts, technologies, and applications of DT in the energy and education sectors. This study demonstrates that DT has a significant potential to address a range of issues in the energy and education sectors. As a result, the degree of awareness and necessity for the implementation of DT in the energy and educational sectors is raised by the current research.
