Abstract

Digital-twin platforms are increasingly adopted in energy infrastructure management for smart grids. Novel opportunities arise from emerging artificial intelligence technologies to increase user trust by enhancing predictive and prescriptive analytics capabilities and by improving user interaction paradigms. This paper presents a novel data-driven and knowledge-based energy digital-twin framework and architecture. Data integration and mining based on machine learning are integrated into a knowledge graph annotating asset status data, prediction outcomes, and background domain knowledge in order to support a retrieval-augmented generation approach, which enhances a conversational virtual assistant based on a large language model to provide user decision support in asset management and maintenance. Components of the proposed architecture have been mapped to commercial-off-the-shelf tools to implement a prototype framework, exploited in a case study on the management of a section of the high-voltage energy infrastructure in central Italy.
