Abstract

This paper aims to address key considerations in building digital twins for some of the most commonly used electrical machines, including the Induction Machine with a Squirrel Cage Rotor, DC Machine with Linear Electrical Excitation, DC Machine with Permanent Excitation, Synchronous Machine with Electrical Excitation and Damper, and Synchronous Machine with Permanent Excitation and Damper. These machines, critical across various industries, require precise modeling and real-time monitoring to optimize their performance and lifespan. The development of digital twins for these machines involves creating virtual representations that dynamically mirror their physical counterparts, using real-time data from sensors and advanced simulation techniques. Each machine type presents unique challenges for the digital twin, such as accurately capturing the electromagnetic interactions in the squirrel cage rotor or modeling the excitation systems in synchronous and DC machines. This paper investigates the methodologies for overcoming these challenges, focusing on data acquisition, mathematical modeling, real-time analytics, and predictive diagnostics. The paper also highlights the benefits of digital twin technology, including enhanced operational efficiency, reduced downtime through predictive maintenance, and optimized control under varying load conditions. Additionally, it discusses the integration of digital twins into broader Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) frameworks, paving the way for more connected and autonomous industrial environments. The findings in this paper provide valuable insights for both researchers and engineers seeking to implement digital twins in electrical machine systems, contributing to improved industrial automation and machine lifecycle management.
