Transitioning to sustainable and resilient energy generation presents challenges in optimizing resource andstorage utilization, reducing operational costs, and addressing environmental impacts within renewable energypower plants. The shift away from fossil fuels in the energy sector requires innovative solutions to enhancesustainability and resilience. This study aims to explore the role of Digital Twin (DT) technology – a digitalreplica of a physical object or process with bidirectional communication – in promoting sustainability withinpower plants, an area that remains underexplored. Using a Sytematic Literature Review (SLR) of 61 peerreviewedpapers, this research examines six key categories of DT application: predictive analysis, performanceoptimization, risk assessment, model evaluation, process traceability, and human–machine interaction. Thefindings indicate that DT holds significant potential to improve power plant sustainability by enabling costreductions, optimizing energy usage, and minimizing environmental impact through waste reduction andcarbon emission management. This study underscores DT’s importance in supporting the energy sector’stransition towards sustainable practices and enhancing the resilience of renewable energy systems.
