摘要

The future of the energy sector is in the digitalization of energy systems, with Digital Twin technology emerging as a key contributor. Integration of Digital Twin, a virtual representation that functions as a physical object’s real-time digital equivalent, with advanced technologies, such as 5G, Internet of Things, Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence frameworks, and hybrid Cloud/Edge computing architectures, can speed up the digital transformation in numerous application domains, including the energy industry. Digital Twin, and in particular Digital Twin with 5G assistance, has the potential to revolutionize the energy landscape in many meaningful ways. With the help of 5G-powered Digital Twin, entire energy grids can be simulated, hence providing a comprehensive view of energy production, distribution, and consumption. Motivated by the transformative potential of 5G-powered Digital Twins in different facets of energy systems and smart grids, this paper provides a comprehensive presentation of the significance of 5G-enabled Digital Twin implementation within the energy domain, identifies key trends, and reveals areas and aspects that require further research. 5G-powered Digital Twin in the energy sector facilitates applications like real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, dynamic load management, and integration of renewable energy sources. While 5G-powered Digital Twin usage in the energy domain offers key advantages like enhanced efficiency and reliability, it also faces challenges, including integration complexity, infrastructure limitations, data privacy and security concerns, high implementation costs, and lack of standardization. Summarizing existing knowledge and providing a clear understanding of the significance of 5G and Digital Twin synergy in the digitalization of energy systems, highlighting advantages and identifying challenges and limitations, this research further contributes to the understanding of the emerging concept of the Energy Metaverse, which promises to make the energy sector more efficient, resilient, and sustainable.
