Digital Twin Technology for Renewable Energy, Smart Grids, Energy Storage and Vehicle‐to‐Grid Integration: Advancements, Applications, Key Players, Challenges and Future Perspectives in Modernising Sustainable Grids

ABSTRACT To address the challenges faced by modern power systems—such as efficiency, dynamics, reliability, control, stability, economy and planning—significant efforts have been made to develop advanced techniques, tools and scientific innovations across various disciplines. Among these, the ‘digital twin’ (DT) has emerged as one of the most reliable and rapidly evolving technologies, now widely integrated into diverse applications. The incorporation of DT technology into energy systems marks a paradigm shift in achieving sustainable, efficient and resilient modern power grids. Although considerable research has been conducted on DT applications in the power sector, comprehensive reviews of its role in…
