Overview

Case analysis reveals predominant hardware-in-the-loop integration across international electrical laboratories, highlighting a scalable four-stage architecture for cyber–physical testing.

Key Points

To establish a conceptual architectural framework for a digital twin laboratory dedicated to electrical networks based on current international standards and practices.
Analyzed twelve representative case studies of internationally recognized digital twin laboratories.
Evaluated facilities using a technological integration scale to benchmark common technological trends and experimental maturity.
Most analyzed facilities operate at Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL) maturity stages, primarily targeting smart grids and distribution networks.
Developed a conceptual laboratory architecture structured into four functional stages to deliver a scalable cyber–physical environment for testing and workforce training.
