As the demand for sustainable energy solutions grows, there is a critical requirement for continuous innovation to optimize the performance and safety of renewable energy systems (RESs). Closed-loop digital twins (CLDTs)—synchronized virtual replicas embedded with real-time data and control loops to mirror the behavior of physical systems—have emerged as a promising tool for achieving this goal. This paper presents a systematic literature review on the application of digital twin (DT) technology in the context of RESs with an emphasis on the impact of DTs on the efficiency, performance, and safety assurance of RESs. It explores the concept of CLDTs, highlighting their key functionalities and potential benefits for various renewable energy technologies. However, their effective implementation requires a structured approach to integrate observation, orientation, decision, and action (OODA) processes. This study presents a novel OODA framework specifically designed for CLDTs to systematically identify and manage their key components. These components include real-time monitoring, decision-making, and actuation. The comparison is carried out against the capabilities of DT utilizing the OODA framework. By analyzing the current literature, this review explores how DT empowers RESs with enhanced efficiency, reduced risks, and improved safety assurance.

“…The link between the attribute-based identities and the device and user identity can be done using different approaches, such as digital twins for IoT devices [12] to create digital representations of resource devices based on their attributes and features, or authentication or identity managers such as Azure Active Directory [13]. This link is created based on information on the new data source or user.…”

Data sharing is becoming increasingly important as organizations seek to improve their operations and gain a competitive advantage. The data sharing between organizations, stakeholders, and even internal teams requires access control policies that define who can access what data, under what circumstances, and for what purposes. Attribute-based access control (ABAC) provides a flexible and fine-grained mechanism for enforcing such policies, preventing data leakage, and improving security and compliance. A challenge is that these policies should be able to support the agility and adaptability of constantly evolving modern industrial systems, where new data sources, services, and users are frequently added and removed. As the number of data sources and associated policies grows, the manual management of ABAC policies in evolving systems becomes a bottleneck, which prevents the adoption of fine-grained access control mechanisms. This paper presents a model based on tagmatching to automate the process of connecting new data sources and users to existing access control policies. In the proposed model, tag-matching means matching metadata elements to policy attributes to reduce the administrative work of managing access policies. The model takes advantage of the identity abstraction of ABAC policies to connect existing rules between attributes and the target resource or user. We present a proof-of-concept implementation of the tag-matching model in Eclipse Arrowhead and provide an evaluation of the proposed solution.

In the realm of Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems (ICPS), Digital Twins (DTs) have revolutionized the management of physical entities. However, existing implementations often face constraints due to hardware-centric approaches and limited flexibility. This article introduces a transformative paradigm that harnesses the potential of distributed Digital Twins as proxies, enabling software-centricity and unlocking composability and flexibility for purpose-oriented digital twin development and deployment. The proposed microservices-based architecture, rooted in service-oriented architecture (SOA) and microservices principles, emphasizes reusability, modularity, and scalability. Leveraging the Lean Digital Twin Methodology and packaged business capabilities expedites digital twin creation and deployment, facilitating dynamic responses to evolving industrial demands. This architecture segments the industrial realm into physical and virtual spaces, where core components are responsible for digital twin management, deployment, and secure interactions. By abstracting and virtualizing physical entities into individual digital twins, this approach establishes the groundwork for purpose-oriented composite digital twin creation.Our key contributions involve a comprehensive exposition of the architecture, a practical proof-of-concept (PoC) implementation, and the application of the architecture in a usecase scenario. Additionally, we provide an analysis, including a quantitative evaluation of the proxy aspect and a qualitative comparison with traditional approaches. This assessment emphasizes key properties such as reusability, modularity, abstraction, discoverability, and security, transcending the limitations of contemporary industrial systems and enabling agile, adaptable digital proxies to meet modern industrial demands.
