For the safe and energy saving operation of long distance belt conveyors, the operation optimization method driven by digital twin is studied. Firstly, the framework of the operation optimization driven by digital twin is constructed, which includes digital twin models, model synchronization algorithms, control strategy, and realistic belt conveyors. Then, digital twin models are established, including the dynamic model of conveyor belt based on the variable quality Newton's second law and finite element analysis method, material flow dynamic model and dynamic energy model. Finally, the decision-simulation-correction (DSC) optimization method driven by digital twin is proposed, which can optimize the steady and transient belt speed of the belt conveyor to build a feasible speed setting curve. Experiments show that the operation optimization method driven by digital twin can result in a belt conveyor that is both safe and energy efficient. Compared with the traditional method, the proposed method can adjust the belt speed setpoint in real-time based on operating conditions, increasing the conveyor belt fill rate, which results in energy savings of 13.87%.
