SP4GO: space-based services for smart grid & electricity grid O&M

Smartgrid 

Our Software as a Service products introduce intelligence in the management of the grid, improving resilience and stability, and optimizing infrastructure maintenance. These services offer a Decision Support System and an infrastructure management tool, empowered by satellite communication and Earth observation.

SMARTGRID

Management

The Smartgrid Management service is meant to support users in optimizing the performance of the grid, by visualizing substations statuses and warnings concerning both consumption and generation. The dashboard shows an interactive map with ticketing capabilities.

Features

  • Consumptions and distributed generation analysis at substation level
  • Warnings related to forecasted overloads or unbalances on power system
  • Ticketing platform to manage critical events

Benefits

  • Ensure grid stability
  • Congestion management
  • Peak shaving

SMARTGRID

Electrical consumption monitoring

This service allows users to check directly on an interactive map the electrical consumption estimation, intuitevely shown with color. This service also includes a warning list tab for the suspiscious areas that need to be checked.

Features

  • Big data Analytics applied to several data sources including space assets derived data
  • Look for specific behavior patterns and trigger operators’ inspections when anomalous situations are identified.
  • Ticketing service to support operator’s decision

Benefits

  • Mitigate Problems related to non-technical losses
  • Optimize inspections activities
  • Increase the energy efficiency for electricity distribution and revenue protection for utilities.

SMARTGRID

Vegetation Management

This service provides users with a vegetation status overview dashboard, which shows the areas requiring maintenance activities and the urgency of these needs. Vegetation Management includes an interactive map and a clearance warnings tab, which shows all the alarms and ticketing about the interested areas.

Features

  • Detect and predict (growth prognosis) risk areas where vegetation is too close to powerlines
  • Change detection (new objects & buildings identification)
  • Disaster management (abrupt damages/anomalies detection)

Benefits

  • Optimize helicopter Inspection scheduling
  • Minimize vegetation management costs
  • Reduce new object near the line risk and reduce time to restore critical situation
