        <description><![CDATA[IntroductionDigital twin (DT) technology has gained significant relevance and application in electrical engineering due to its capabilities in simulation, real-time monitoring, and system optimization. Although DT research has demonstrated benefits across multiple engineering disciplines, a focused synthesis of research specifically within electrical engineering remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to systematically review the application of DT technologies in electrical engineering research, map the current state of knowledge, and identify future directions for integration and scalability.MethodsA systematic literature review was conducted following predefined eligibility criteria. A total of 84 publications published between 2015 and 2025 were selected for the final review. The studies were analyzed and categorized into seven major themes: power and energy systems applications, electric machines and transportation, fault diagnosis and condition monitoring, real-time control and hardware-in-the-loop implementation, modeling and simulation, IoT and computing platforms, and cybersecurity and lifecycle management.ResultsThe review findings indicate a steady increase in scholarly attention toward DT technologies over the examined period. The literature showed strong emphasis on applications in power systems and IoT-supported platforms, while also demonstrating the relevance of DTs across a broad range of electrical engineering domains. The thematic analysis highlighted the diverse functionalities of DTs in improving system performance, predictive maintenance, operational efficiency, and real-time decision-making.DiscussionThe study demonstrates that DT technology has become an important research area within electrical engineering and continues to expand into multiple application domains. However, the review also identified the need for more robust, scalable, and standardized frameworks to support wider implementation and interoperability. Future research should focus on addressing challenges related to integration, cybersecurity, standardization, and lifecycle management to enable broader adoption of DT technologies in electrical engineering systems.]]></description>
