Digital Twins bonds society with cyber-physical Energy Systems: a literature review

The current study is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) that investigates how digitization reforms the traditional complex systems approaches: engaging the public in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) evolves the paradigm in Cyber-Physical-Social Systems (CPSS). The scope of the study is Energy Systems and the main motive is to survey the Digital Twin (DT) as a digitization tool for integrating society in energy CPS. Currently, Cyber-Physical-Social Energy Systems (CPSES) are configured by means of involving end-users in the Energy ecosystem. The SLR discloses the significant application of DT in forecasting energy demand and consumption patterns by end-users, along with dispatchable generation scheduling out of fluctuating renewable energy sources on demand. The secondary outcome of the study emphasizes the main features of CPSES and the role of DT in supporting them.
