Published purpose

The use of Digital Twins in managing assets for the power grid is becoming increasingly common. However, given the challenge of extracting data from inside these high voltage environments, most digital twins today are based only on a few points of data, combined with extensive extrapolation. For the first time, Hyperion’s tFITs distributed fiber sensing technology allows the creation of ‘true’ Digital Twins, using hundreds or thousands of actual data points to create a true representation of the asset in real time. The project aims to develop digital twin capability for our Helios software, allowing operators to simulate different loading conditions to determine the optimum use and maintenance program for these key grid assets.
