Program Overview

Digital Twinning for PEMD (Power Electronics Machine and Drives)

Overview

This CPD course provides a baseline for business competency in digital twin skills for PEMD (Power Electronics Machine and Drives) applications. It aims to develop awareness, knowledge, know-how, and increased confidence to design solutions using digital twins. Created for junior/design engineers, senior engineers, sustainability leads, and everyone who is engaged in roles that will influence technical decision-making, Digital Twinning for PEMD will help those in industry to realise digital transformation and organisational change.

Learning Outcomes

• Understand the basics of digital twins, digital twins platform, and ecosystem
• Learn the implementation of digital twins in PEMD, the corresponding business values, and risks
• Get to know the future trends of digital twins
• How to appraise a digital twin approach and lead or enable sustainable transformation
• How to see digital twins as solutions to drive efficiencies and increase productivity
• An understanding of the data management basis for digital twins
• Learnings from best practice examples
• Assess the performance using a variety of real-world case studies

Course Agenda

The CPD course is structured to span two full days, with four sessions each day: two in the morning and two in the afternoon. On the first day, students will learn about the fundamentals of Digital Twin, followed by hands-on hardware experiments. The second day will cover design of PEMD digital twinning with some practical examples. The course will conclude with a group project, where students will work on real-world case studies followed by discussion on future trends and summary with further advance courses.

First Day Sessions
