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. European Space Agency

Pylon movements and ground displacement → GridWatch: project example European Space Agency Distribution tower collapsed because of the wind Credit: GridWatch IAP project https://business.esa.int/projects/gridwatch

Pylon movements and ground displacement → GridWatch: project example SAR images are used for the detection of small and slow movements of pylons and ground Displacement map using satellite SAR data European Space Agency Credit: GridWatch IAP project https://business.esa.int/projects/gridwatch

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. European Space Agency

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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HO4NUzTsE78 European Space Agency

Point 4 project → European Space Agency

Assets maintenance and recovery → Sharper Shape project example 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: Ø Identification of clear cuts near power line corridors Ø Vegetation clearance supervision (VHR) Ø Trigger UAV inspection European Space Agency Credits: Sharper-Sat ESA IAP feasibility study https://business.esa.int/projects/sharpersat

Assets maintenance and recovery → Sharper Shape project example • 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) European Space Agency Credits: Sharper-Sat ESA IAP feasibility study https://business.esa.int/projects/sharpersat

RENEWABLE ENERGY → WHY 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. European Space Agency

Wind / wave forecasting for offshore wind farms → ISSWIND project example Wind 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 European Space Agency Credits: ISSWIND ESA IAP project https://business.esa.int/projects/isswindemo
