Podcast: Digital Tools to Shape Europe’s Energy Future

„Digital Twin technology itself is not automatically a solution. I can utilise a new tool in an appropriate way, or I can waste it” – said István Vokony, communication and dissemination leader of TwinEU in his latest interview with the ENLIT EU Projects podcast.

He added, the real value lies in deciding what data to collect and how to use it. Humans can process only a handful of information sources at once, but digital systems can handle hundreds. Done well, this means faster processes, lower costs, and decisions based on solid, real-time insights rather than guesswork.

This is where digital twins come in. Unlike traditional simulation models, which rely on assumptions, digital twins use live measurements. “The most important part is reaction time” – highlighted the Head of Department of Electrical Power Engineering of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. “With digital twins, I can react on the happenings on the network. It makes it more valuable and closer to reality.”
