I do think your point on pooling/aggregating information, and how we federate to be the most important. If you have a common language for inputs/outputs, an easy (conceptually at least) use case could be how has Covid-19 impact infrastructure energy usage? I can imagine querying each major infrastructure provider to understand where, when and how much energy is being drawn. I imagine the transport networks draw down will have dropped (significantly?) but there would be an uptick in draw from local substations. How does this balance? What does this tell us about the resilience of the network to major shifts?
Yes! Energy/Transport (and Energy/Housing) have been high on our list of sector crossovers and “linking” use cases for digital twins. I agree with you that the current situation provides a powerful incentive to seriously explore them.
