Application and Exploration of Digital Twin Substation in Xiong’an New Area

The digital solution more in line with the era should be sought by the traditional mode of production in traditional industries. The digital twin technology has the potential to break the boundaries of time and space for the key scenarios of safety and cost, but no-depth research has been conducted on this. To carry out the exploration on the practical application of digital twin in the operation and inspection of transformer substation, the Xiong'an Digital Twin Transformer Substation is taken as a case, and the pain points are summarized by combining with the actual operation and maintenance of transformer substation repair. Besides, it is proposed that the practical abilities of fast scanning modeling, physical engine base, and virtual and real two-way interaction should be possessed by the mature digital twin. The purposes of standardization and practicality should be closely followed by the relevant technical research, in which the applicable applications such as migration and extension should be done on the basis of existing technologies.The great potential of digital twin technology has been embodied in the operation and inspection of transformer substation. Although the relevant theories have been applied in various fields, the further systematic and standardized research is still required for the implementation of practical demonstration projects.
