Definition of pan-European use cases was in the focal point of the 5th General Assembly of the TwinEU. The event, which marks the start of the 3rd and final year of the project focused on mapping out the remaining tasks to ensure that TwinEU will have an impact not only on a local and regional, but also on a European scale.
During the General Assembly, taking place in Delft, the Netherlands on 27-28th January 2026 the TwinEU consortium agreed on 6 pan-EU scenarios. These use cases are identified throughout the 8 demonstrators of the project, digital twin solutions which are to be tested and validated in other scenarios than their original demo site. This includes:
- A grid hosting capacity map
- Co-optimization of the energy and balancing capacity market coupling with dynamic flow-based auction
- High accuracy forecasting
- Flexibility management & frequency support
- System security & stability
- Digital twin for power line monitoring
Mapping these scenarios will ensure that the solutions resulting from the demos will be tested and validated on different European areas, thus providing outcomes that are scalable and deployable accross the interconnected power system.
Besides this, the consortium mapped out the remaining steps for the project, specifically focusing on the TwinEU core platform, which aims to federate the various digital twins applied on the level of TSOs, DSOs or other players of the electricity value chain. In the last 12 months the work will focus on the validation and integration of the solutions from the demos to the platform.
Hosted by Delft University of Technology, this general assembly meeting provided the consortium an opportunity to visit the „Control room of the future”, which is at the core of the Dutch-French demo of TwinEU, concentrating on how digital twins can enhance cyber security of the system.
