The Key Role of Multi-Physics Simulations in the Energy Transition and Sustainability
Session organized by Polytechnic University of Turin Chair: Giulia MASSAGLIA, Polytechnic University of Turin
The increasing complexity of modern energy systems requires advanced tools to support their design, optimization, and real-time monitoring. Multiphysics simulations, which integrate various physical domains such as thermal, fluid dynamic, electrical, and structural behaviors, play a pivotal role in capturing the coupled phenomena that govern energy devices. These simulations form the foundation for the development of Digital Twins—virtual replicas of physical systems capable of mirroring their real-time state and predicting future behavior under different operational scenarios. By enabling high-fidelity modeling and dynamic updates through real-world data, Digital Twins can significantly enhance decision-making, predictive maintenance, and overall system efficiency. This work highlights the strategic role of multiphysics modeling in the development of reliable Digital Twins for energy applications, presenting key challenges and opportunities in this rapidly evolving field.
