Implementation - Challenges & best practices

✏️Course in Development

Just a heads-up—this section is still a work in progress! I’ll be revising and expanding it soon to make sure it’s as useful as possible. Curious about what’s already done or currently in the works? Check the changelog for updates.

Developing and successfully deploying a fully functional live modeling system or Digital Twin is a significant and complex undertaking, presenting a range of both technical and organizational hurdles that utilities need to navigate. This section will provide a realistic overview of these common technical challenges.

These can include the sheer complexity of integrating disparate information technology (IT) systems (like your GIS or asset management databases) with operational technology (OT) systems (like your SCADA network and field sensors), ensuring robust and secure data communication, and managing the potentially significant computational demands of running frequent or continuous hydraulic simulations.
