Position Qualifications:
Millions of decisions concerning the design, construction and operation of real-world assets will be taken based on their digital twins. Some digital twins in the energy industry represent a simple component. Others span entire facilities. The risk is that digital technology may not in itself guarantee higher returns.

The promise of digital possibilities can often drive decisions to buy digital twins instead of business needs. This can result in an incorrectly specified digital twin. Problems can also emerge during operation if the digital twins are not adequately maintained and updated as the real-world asset evolves.

Assurance of digital assets and systems is a core element of the DNV strategy. As response, DNV along with its strategic partners developed the industry’s first recommended practice for quality assurance of digital twins (DNV-RP-A204) to complement further recommended practices around Data Quality; Machine Learning Models and Algorithms; Simulation Models; and Sensor Systems. We also see growing demand for services linked to data assurance, with our energy system customers keen to build confidence around the policies, processes and people that govern access to data assets.
