Abstract
Methods and systems for managing systems are disclosed. To manage the systems, potential changes to the system may be simulated. The numbers and types of changes to be simulated may be selected to reduce computational expense while maintaining coverage to evaluate impacts of different types of changes on operation of the system. Once selected, a digital twin model may be used to simulate potential operation of the system as modified by the potential changes. The resulting simulation results may be analyzed to identify significance of different potential changes to the system.
