The renewable energy sector (RES) is a fast-growing industry that provides sustainable
and clean energy. The adoption and integration of such technologies positively affect the
environment and boost the country's economy. The global trend for sustainability opens new
opportunities to integrate sophisticated technologies and improve existing energy infrastructure.
This project aims to propose a detailed Digital Twin (DT) framework indicating important
implementation steps and providing insights into DT technology that improves operational
efficiency, optimizes performance, and creates a user-friendly platform for real-time monitoring.
This study has produced several deliverables through collaboration with the domestic
company TechnoGroupService (TGS), which specializes in constructing and operating solar
power plants in Kazakhstan. Deliverables include a detailed investigation of the 50MW solar
power plant's operational process, infrastructure, and data transfer models. That detailed plant
information helped to build a strong foundation for a comprehensive DT implementation
framework that describes all the steps and procedures required to obtain a working DT platform.
The framework provides a DT architecture consisting of six main phases, from plant
infrastructure exploration to DT application description. The entire framework was then used to
create a detailed roadmap for the implementation of DT in the context of Kazakhstan, taking into
account the peculiarities of the region and adapting international standards to the realities of the
country. As one part of the development phase, an online web platform has been developed.
These include real-time monitoring indicating the current status of the solar plant which is
further used in reactive-maintenance capabilities. The results offered have been reviewed by
industry experts and capstone supervisors to ensure applicability, reliability, and actuality.
