Digital twin technology has gone from a futuristic ideal to a present-day reality for data centre developers and operators . This highly specialised virtual modelling can impact the entire data centre lifecycle , beginning with site due diligence and moving into design and construction , as well as measuring sustainability objectives and creating tools for operational excellence .
Black & Veatch is using its internal resources to develop real-time modelling for global clients . Digital twin technology eliminates geographical barriers in initial site due diligence and design phases . The entire team can virtually walk the “ completed ” project without leaving their desks . This provides great convenience , but the real value is evolving .
Digital twins are not simply simulation tools because they also provide a previously inaccessible depth and breadth of exploration of data . It allows clients to review a project in a virtual world before implementing it and allows developers to sell the project to stakeholders earlier .
The digital twin can also support operations of the data centre , where monitoring and other tasks are done remotely and the ops officer can review issues from any location to make decisions that have a significant impact on the enterprise .
