Introduction
Modern energy ecosystems require intelligent orchestration of multiple energy sources, storage systems, and grid interactions. Traditional systems lack the flexibility to manage decentralized and hybrid energy environments. This case study highlights how a Digital Twin–driven energy management platform enabled real-time control, optimization, and scalability for a complex urban microgrid.
