Construction and Application of a Low-Carbon Energy Management Platform Based on Digital Twin Technology

This paper introduces the architectural design of a low-carbon energy management platform based on digital twin technology and its application in low-carbon communities. Through this platform, real-time monitoring, simulation, and optimization of physical energy systems can be achieved, enhancing energy utilization efficiency and significantly reducing carbon emissions. The paper details the platform’s three-tier architecture design and, using the demonstration case of the South Lake Red Ship, explores the platform’s effectiveness in clean energy consumption, real-time simulation, and carbon neutrality management. Practical results show that the platform not only improves the operational efficiency of energy systems but also significantly reduces CO<inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> emissions, promoting the intelligent and sustainable development of energy management systems.
