A technical milestone: Digital Twin applied to power system protection

The accepted paper, titled:

“Performance Comparison Between Digital Twin IEDs and Physical Devices Through Closed-Loop Testing,”

delves into a comparative study between virtual IEDs (Intelligent Electronic Devices) based on Digital Twin and their physical counterparts, using advanced closed-loop testing methodologies.

The work highlights significant contributions:

Performance assessment between digital and physical IEDs
Application of Digital Twin environments in testing, simulation, and validation processes
Closed-loop tests with dynamic behavior analysis
Impacts on commissioning, maintenance, security, and modernization of protection systems
Technical benefits supporting the power sector’s digital transition

This approach demonstrates how digital environments can complement—or even partially replace—traditional testing, increasing efficiency, reducing costs, and expanding flexibility for validating complex schemes.
