论文摘要
数字双胞胎是一个虚拟系统,可以完全描述一个物理的系统。它不断从同行传感器中接收数据,咨询外部来源,并从利益相关者那里获得手动输入。 DT使用所有这些信息来进行各种计算,例如分析,预测和仿真,然后可能将结果发送回物理系统。 Domotics或Smart Home Technologies通过自动化其一些功能来为房屋带来智力和舒适感。尽管对这两个主题的研究都很广泛,但基于数字双技术技术的智能家居的实现很少,这项工作旨在证明住宅也可以从这个概念中受益。我们实施了两个不同的用例,表明房屋及其虚拟对应物之间的双向连接可以为其所有者提供分析和基于仿真的自动化。第一个研究案例允许用户可视化其家用电器关于其能耗的过去和现在状态。根据加热模拟,第二个决定了打开加热器以增加房屋的热舒适度并减少能源使用的最佳时间。
A Digital Twin is a virtual system that can fully describe a physical one. It constantly receives data from its counterpart's sensors, consults external sources, and obtains manual inputs from its stakeholders. The DT uses all this information to make various computations, such as analyses, predictions, and simulations, and then possibly sends the results back to the physical system. Domotics, or Smart Home Technologies, brings intelligence and comfort to a house by automating some of its functions. Although the research on both themes is vast, there are few implementations of Smart Homes based on Digital Twin technologies, and this work aims to prove that residences can also benefit from this concept. We implement two different use cases showing that a two-way connection between a home and its virtual counterpart can provide its owners with analyses and simulation-based automation. The first study case allows the user to visualize their home appliances' past and present state concerning their energy consumption. Based on heating simulations, the second determines the best time to turn on a heater to increase the home's thermal comfort and reduce energy usage.
