Australia wants 82% renewables by 2030. But building wind, solar, and batteries fast enough is a big challenge. One promising innovation to speed things up is “digital twinning” – using advanced simulations to test and optimise renewable projects before they’re built.

What is Digital Twinning?
Think of it as a virtual copy of the energy grid. Engineers can test new solar farms, batteries, or wind projects in a safe, digital environment before switching them on in real life.
✅ Reduces risks → Problems are solved before they happen on-site.
✅ Cuts costs → Less time and money wasted on trial-and-error.
✅ Faster connection → Projects can plug into the grid quicker.
✅ Boosts reliability → More chance of “first-time success.”
Real-World Wins
Potentia Energy + UNSW → Their digital twin testing is said to be 100x faster than standard modelling.
AGL’s Broken Hill battery → Validated in a lab before deployment, now storing renewable power and keeping the grid stable.
Global examples → UK and US already run large-scale national testing centres for this exact purpose.
Why Australia Needs It Now
Our coal fleet is ageing fast, and we need new renewables online without delays.
Current R&D funding is only 1.68% of GDP (well below the OECD average of 3%).
Without innovation, reaching net zero goals will be even harder.
