Abstract

This paper examines specific applications and general prospects of digital twin technology, one of the core technologies of the fourth industrial revolution, in the fields of mineral and energy resource engineering. A digital twin system is a simulation system based on real-time measurements; it can be used as a tool for optimizing the development and production of resources. Currently, digital twin technology is being used in the detection of anomalies in processing plants, the optimization of mining and blasting processes, and the optimization and control of drilling. The scope of its application is expected to expand in the future. Digital twins can be built efficiently by combining various existing simulation techniques, and the potential field of application of such systems is expected to expand through their concurrent use with various information and communication technologies.
