Digital twins beyond the industrials

How AI-based virtual replicas can help financial institutions better predict customer behavior. Ever since wind farms became part of the US energy market in the 1980s, operators have worked hard to compete with more established energy providers. And they've found that when you're trying to improve operational efficiency, manually inspecting broken parts on a wind turbine just won't cut it. Instead, wind farm owners use artificial intelligence (AI) to find ways to produce more energy with less wear and tear on their equipment. Meet digital twins: models that are virtual replicas, or "twins," of each physical asset (the wind turbine), the underlying parts (the rotors), and the entire system (the fleet of wind farms).
