TwinEU – Digital Twin for Europe
The TwinEU project develops and implements a federated ecosystem of digital twins of different stakeholders of the European electricity system, as well as their interaction protocols and methodologies. This collaborative architecture facilitates the interaction between the different actors and advances the interoperability and digitization of the European electricity system.
Further developments towards a self-sufficient unified European electricity system necessarily requires increasing the penetration of renewables while aiming at making the infrastructure more resilient and cost-effective. In this context, digital twins (DT) build a key asset to facilitate all aspects of business and operational coordination for system operators and market parties. It is of fundamental importance to now start a process of agreement at European level so not to develop isolated instances but a federated ecosystem of DT solutions. Each operator should be able to make its own implementation decisions while preserving and supporting interoperability and exchange with the remaining ecosystem.
In this context, ETRA coordinates the implementation of the Iberian Pilot, with the participation of Red Eléctrica, REN, Iberdrola (i-DE), Enel-Endesa (e-Distribución), Estabanell or OMIE, among others. As technology provider, develops, based on its ÉTER tool for the management of electrical distribution networks, the distribution system digital twin.
TwinEU has a budget of 25.2 M€ (co-financed by the EU under the HORIZON EUROPE program). It has a duration of 36 months and a consortium of 73 partners. The project is validated in 8 large-scale demonstrators, in Spain-Portugal, Greece-Cyprus, Bulgaria, Hungary, Germany, Italy, Slovenia and the Netherlands-France.
