What are the applications of digital twins in the construction of new smart cities?

In the construction of new smart cities, digital twins can be used in application scenarios such as digital twin watershed construction, digital twin drainage pipe networks, and digital twin bridge anti-collision command, and perform digital, refined, and visualized management.

1. Digital twin watershed policy environment:

On December 23, 2021, the Ministry of Water Resources held a work meeting to promote the construction of digital twin watersheds. Li Guoying, Minister of Water Resources, proposed: “Digital twin watersheds are With the physical watershed as the unit, spatiotemporal data as the base, mathematical model as the core, and water conservancy knowledge as the driver, digital mapping and intelligent simulation of all elements of the physical watershed and the entire process of water conservancy management and management are implemented to achieve synchronous simulation operation and virtual-real interaction with the physical watershed. , iterative optimization", while emphasizing that digitalization, networking, and intelligence are the main lines, digital scenarios, intelligent simulations, and precise decision-making are the paths, and the construction of data, algorithms, and computing power is the support to accelerate the construction of digital twin river basins. , to realize the functions of forecast, early warning, preview and plan.

2. Current status of water conservancy informatization development:

① Insufficient ability to thoroughly perceive:

The coverage and elements of water conservancy perception are incomplete. For hydrological information and environmental information , engineering information and other aspects of monitoring capabilities can no longer meet the needs of existing business development and management. Although information collection can now be carried out through ground, water, aviation, aerospace and other technologies and equipment, the overall level of intelligence is still relatively low. degree. There is still a long way to go in terms of the requirements for the digital twin watershed system to be built. Internet of Things technology and equipment have not been fully utilized, and the basic communication capabilities are relatively weak, and there are deficiencies in network bandwidth and emergency measures.

② Lack of "computing power" of information infrastructure:

Among the existing water conservancy business networks, only 6 provinces (autonomous regions) have water conservancy business networks that can reach township-level water conservancy units , for project management units, the connectivity rate is even lower, which seriously hinders the development principle of "three-level deployment and multi-level application" for water conservancy business applications. The backbone network cannot meet the existing needs of data transmission and service invocation. Faced with the rapid growth of more and more images, images and other data, there is a lack of big data processing, cloud computing and data storage capabilities.

③The development and utilization of information resources needs to be improved:

The internal information system of water conservancy lacks integration, resulting in incomplete basic information of existing water conservancy facilities, low accuracy, inconsistent basic data, and object codes There are issues such as inconsistency and inconsistent data standards, and there is a phenomenon of data "re-acquisition and re-storage" among various businesses and departments at all levels. At the same time, there is a lack of sharing of closely related external information such as geological information and insufficient linkage.

④ There is a large gap in the intelligent level of business applications:

In the existing water conservancy information system, water conservancy projects, water resources development, flood and drought prevention, soil and water conservation and other businesses all have business and The integration of information technology is not deep, the level of intelligence is insufficient, and emerging technologies such as 5G, AI, big data, and the Internet of Things are not fully applied, which ultimately leads to the problem that the information system is weak in supporting business development.
