Abstract
The technology of digital twins implements an approach [1–7] that enables digital representation of a physical object or process, specifically its past, current, and future state, behavior, characteristics, appearance, etc. According to the definition proposed by the authors of the digital twin concept, Michael Grieves and John Vickers, in [1], a digital twin is a collection of virtual information constructs that fully describes a physical object: from the micro level (level of an individual element) to the macro level (general appearance, geometric representation, general properties of the object as a whole). In other words, a digital twin is a model of a physical object or process (physical twin) that most fully reflects its characteristics in dynamics during a specific time. The concept of a digital twin involves the presentation, processing, and manipulation of all data that characterize a physical twin, as well as obtaining specific components of these data as the need for them arises when solving problems of analyzing and forecasting the state of a physical twin, optimizing procedures for physical twin control, etc.
