Abstract

Digital Twins are virtual plants with an architecture and functionalities that make them actual useful tools for improving many aspects related to process operation, from its control to optimization. Nevertheless, there are several open problems that demand additional research before Digital Twins can be used in real-time as useful tools in decision making. Among them we can cite those related to model updating in real-time and the explicit consideration of uncertainty in models and processes. This paper discusses its architecture and role in the context of Industry 4.0 and, at the same time, analyzes one case study referred to the hydrogen network of an oil refinery that illustrates the possibilities of industrial use of digital twins, as well as the open problems associated to its implementation in the process industry.
