Abstract:

Metaverse is a new internet application and social form of virtual reality integration which is produced by integrating a variety of new technologies. With the goal of “carbon peak and carbon neutrality” and the proposal of new power system, the construction of power system in metaverse is the trend in the future. Considering the application of metaverse applications in power systems, this paper used digital twin technology and internet-of-things technology to understand the metaverse, and then analyzed the power systems in the metaverse. Different from the current virtual reality, the metaverse has four characteristics: virtual fusion, diversification, immersion, economic system and civilization. Focusing on the above two means and four characteristics, this paper introduced the metaverse from the perspective of science and engineering, and expounded the framework and functions of power systems. Finally, this paper discussed the potential applications and prospects of metaverse in power systems.

Key words: metaverse, new power system, digital twin, internet-of-things
