A digital twin is a virtual and evolving representation of a real system (component, infrastructure, or even territory), continuously fueled by heterogeneous data feeding numerical models. It enables analysis of past behavior, simulation of future scenarios, and real‑time performance optimization.

CENAERO provides high‑performance computing and AI capabilities to support digital twins. Using the LUCIA Tier‑1 supercomputer, it enables large‑scale data processing, AI model training, and high‑fidelity multiphysics simulations. The infrastructure supports real‑time analysis, scenario simulation, and optimization of complex systems such as urban environments and energy communities, contributing to sustainable decision‑making and climate resilience.
