摘要

Conventional digital twins (DT) for critical infrastructures are widely used to model and simulate the system’s state. But fundamental environment changes bring challenges for DT adaptation to new conditions, leading to a progressively decreasing correspondence of the DT to its physical counterpart. This paper introduces the DiTEC system, a Digital Twin for Evolutionary Changes in Water Distribution Networks (WDN). This framework combines novel techniques, including semantic rule learning, graph neural network-based state estimation, and adaptive model selection, to ensure that changes are adequately detected, processed and the DT is updated to the new state. The DiTEC system is tested on the Dutch Oosterbeek region WDN, with results showing the superiority of the approach compared to traditional methods.
