A new digital framework to improve the energy market

TwinERGY incorporates Digital Twin intelligence for optimising demand response for residential buildings while having a positive impact on the well-being of consumers and on their ordinary activities. 

The Digital Twin technology consists in creating a digital copy of a physical asset, process or system. Connecting a physical asset with its Digital Twin enables testing new ideas or model scenarios in real time without interrupting the physical asset operations and users’ practices. 

A better energy market is possible if all the implicated agents work closely.

How does the system work?
