Creating Cities of the Future with Digital Twin Technology Figure 4: Renewable Energy Asset Identifiers, Enlarged View Here, the example is an urban six block setting of an actual neighborhood in the city of Los Angeles. It is envisioned that the digital twin mapping function may be changed to feature the geographic coordinates of any area of interest. At the bottom of the screen is a toolbar where the drag and drop enabled objects reside; solar panels, solar arrays and batteries. Figure 4 demonstrates how the details of each digital twin representation can be displayed by a cursor rollover. These digital twin objects are drag and drop enabled so the user can place them, as needed, on the map as shown in Figure 5.
