Using a Digital Twin in Ultra-Large-Scale System

The article is devoted to the study of the possibility of using digital twin in Ultra-Large-Scale System (ULSS) on the example of the dynamic system “Intelligent electronic hitch”. ULSS it combines big data, complex algorithms for their processing and dynamic control processes of various levels in real-time. The sustainable development of ULSS depends on the effectiveness of the organization of interaction between its components, taking into account the properties of heterogeneity and self-organization. The capabilities of digital twin ensure the successful solution of modeling, analysis, management and forecasting tasks in ULSS. The application options of digital twin are considered on the example of the dynamic system “Intelligent electronic hitch”. The application of digital twin is considered in the following aspects: the realization of the possibility of forecasting and optimizing tasks for the implementation of the main activity of the control object; the realization of the possibility of issuing recommendations for control actions based on predictive analytics data obtained in real time; the realization of the possibility of making functional and structural changes to the life cycle of a physical object. The article proposes the implementation of types digital twin: component twin, asset twin, system twin and process twin at different levels of integration of smart-controller and “Intelligent electronic hitch” in ULSS.
