Digitalization and robotization in the automation of energy facilities

Abstract

The paper presents the typical technologies of Industry 4.0. The results of a study of publications and materials on the use of digital twins, virtual reality and robotization in energy are presented. The digitalization of energy is considered on the example of the use of digital twins, virtual reality simulators and being developed robotic solutions. Presented the position of the authors on the conceptual combination of these technologies and, as a result, the renewal of classical dispatching in automated control systems of energy facilities in accordance with the ideology of the Industry 4.0.
