“Demistifying Digital Twins” Course

Developed in partnership with Karmous-Edwards Consulting, SWAN, and Julius Education, this course offers insights into the fundamental components, practical applications, and ultimate benefits of digital twins within the phases of design, construction, and operation. Beginning with the definition of a digital twin, this course serves as a roadmap guiding learners on a journey from basic digital transformation concepts to an industry accepted Digital Twin Architecture. Supported by utility case studies and actionable implementation strategies, this training provides tangible steps utilities can follow to bridge the gap between theory and practical application.

The course is divided into the below six modules, each with a video chapter and slides.

  • What is a Digital Twin?
  • Digital Transformation
  • Virtual Sensors
  • Components of a Digital Twin
  • Implementation
  • Conclusions and Next Steps

In very little time, the course hits the nail on the head of all key principles of what a Water Digital Twin is, and is not. It is explained in plain English, no jargons, with easy analogies. It also highlights how and why the modelling component is important, as too often ‘AI’ is thrown around without understanding how it adds value on top of engineering fundamentals.
