Abstract
The purpose of the study presented in the article was to develop a method for the formation of digital twins for distributed generation plants operating as part of cyber–physical power supply systems. A method of forming a digital twin for a system for automatic regulation of the voltage and rotor speed of a synchronous generator is considered. The structure of a digital twin is presented in the form of a multiply connected model using experimental data. The possibility of using a fuzzy inference system, artificial neural networks, and a genetic algorithm for solving the problem is shown. As a result of the research, neuro-fuzzy models of the elements of the distributed generation plant were obtained, which are an integral part of the digital twin. Based on the simulation results, the following conclusions were drawn: the proposed method for constructing an optimized fuzzy model gives acceptable results when compared with experimental data and shows practical applicability in constructing a digital twin. In the future, in order to simplify the model, it is necessary to solve the problem of optimizing the number of rules in the fuzzy inference system. It is also advisable to direct further research to the formation of a complete hierarchical fuzzy system that connects all elements of the digital twin.
