| description | Industry 4.0 is in continuous technological growth that benefits all sectors of industry and society in general. This article reviews the Digital Twin (DT) concept and the interest of its application in photovoltaic installations. It compares how other authors use the DT approach in photovoltaic installations to improve the efficiency of the renewable energy generated and consumed, energy prediction and the reduction of the operation and maintenance costs of the photovoltaic installation. It reviews how, by providing real-time data and analysis, DTs enable more informed decision-making in the solar energy sector. The objectives of the review are to study digital twin technology and to analyse its application and implementation in PV systems. |
