Energy critical infrastructure monitoring

WHY DOES SPACE DATA MATTER?

An overview of localised conditions and changes throughout vast land areas or cities over time is vital in the continuous maintenance and operation of these services. This is only possible as a result of satellite technology.

Vegetation monitoring

WHY DOES SPACE DATA MATTER?

Earth Observation optical and Earth Observation SAR data provide information on: tree species & height estimation, determination of the position of trees with respect to power lines. By knowing the tree specie and environmental condition (including weather), a prediction of vegetation growth can be modelled.


→

Vegetation Monitoring

Point 4 project example

• The project intends to provide a real-time auditing service, checking on the spot of trees have been pruned to specification prior to moving to the next one.

• Space assets allow to:• Satellite telecommunications: communication

from those places without other terrestrial means.• EO data: vegetation status / evolution to assess

the risk

Assets maintenance and recovery

Sharper Shape project example

• Objective: improve maintenance and recovery of their overhead assets and reducing related operational costs.• rapid recognition of damages after storm• clearance need detection and prioritization of areas• supervision of vegetation clearance• cost efficiency of new methods

Sharper Shape uses EO supported by airborne data gathered by RPAS and its own software solutions which provide a new level of accuracy and faster time-to-results.

RPAS and SatEO for maintenance and

recovery of electricity grid

Sharper Shape uses EO data to

detect vegetation change near

power lines.

Use of EO change detection:

�Identification of clear cuts near

power line corridors

�Vegetation clearance supervision

(VHR)

�Trigger UAV inspection



→



• Sharper Shape UAV’s are capable Beyond Visual Line Of Sight fights with up to 1 hour flight time and up to 8 kg payload.

• Sharper Shapes UAV’s are equipped with high performance LiDAR, High resolution cameras, onboard computer and storage unit and high precision IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit)

RENEWABLE ENERGYWHY DOES SPACE DATA MATTER?

The weather plays a huge role in the level of energy produced from renewable sources. This is where Earth orbiting satellite data can be utilised for maximum effect. Highly accurate weather forecasting will help solar, wind and hydro energy output predictions.

Wind / wave forecasting for offshore wind farms

ISSWIND project exampleWind resource maps: estimate wind farm potential revenues (bankability)

Wind and wave hindcast databases (for site selection)

Short term weather and wave forecasts in support to wind farm maintenance and operations

Wind Power production forecast

EO provides weather observation services (e.g.: EUMETSAT products)

GNSS near real time observations to extract atmospheric parameters (e.g. stratified relative humidity) to improve weather forecasting models

Water flow monitoring and prediction serviceINTOGENER project example

• Develop an advanced water flow monitoring and prediction service, mainly aimed at hydro power production companies (Water and Energy management authorities as secondary market).

• The service is based on Satellite-based EO data, and in-situ data from GNSS-R (Refloected GNSS signals) and other conventional instrumentation transferred via satellite communications to the processing centre. A hydrological model assimilates all the data for the proper water flow forecast.

ESA Downstream Business Applications

→Energy to boost socio-economic development

Integrated applications for microgrids in developing economies

Background

© Vivek M. / Greenpeace© Vivek M. / Greenpeace

Global access to electricity still far from achieved

• 1.2 billion have no access to electricity

o 95% in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia

o 80% in rural areas

• An additional 1 billion people lack access to reliable electricity supply

Microgrids offer an attractive solution to achieve energy access in rural and developing areas

Challenges remain that are restraining microgrid development

- Data acquisition/monitoring

- Lack of accurate energy forecasts hinders financial analysis and investment

Duration: 9 months

Selection process on going

Space tech and services potential contribution

� Satellite Communication (SatCom):

� to provide seamlessly connectivity to (typically) remote microgrid sites (monitoring

and maintenance).

� Enabler of spin-off services (e.g.: tele-education)

� Earth observation: socio-economic information energy load

forecasting and planning, environmental information / landscape

and land use to optimise the selection of microgrid sites and

assessment of their power potential.


THANK YOU




� Automatic load balancing/self-healing of the

electricity grid, which increases the cost efficiency

of grid management.

� Virtual Power Plants (VPP): VPPs operate

portfolios of distributed energy generators and

operate them as one flexible energy source, to

maximise the use of the energy assets while

balancing the grid.




� Demand Response (DR): DR is enabled by real-time

dynamic pricing for households and enterprises.

� Smart meter enabled services: home automation /

AMI.

� Predictive outage and maintenance.

� Integration of Electric Vehicle (EV) fleet into the

energy system.

� Distributed energy storage (DES) systems.

� AI / Big Data IoT services.




� Other AI / Big Data IoT services

� Maximize the use of renewable power
