GEOSPATIAL RESILIENCE, INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSTICS FOR TRANSMISSION GRIDS USING ADVANCED EU SPACE DATA

Objectif

High-voltage transmission networks are a critical component of Europe’s energy system, yet they are increasingly exposed to higher power flows, renewable integration, extreme weather events and environmental pressures. Transmission System Operators (TSOs) rely on consolidated inspection practices such as helicopter patrols, LiDAR surveys and ground inspections, which are effective but inherently periodic and sometimes constrained in remote, mountainous or densely populated areas.

GRIDGUARD360 proposes a market-ready, space-enabled service that complements existing TSO practices by providing continuous, wide-area monitoring of transmission assets and corridors. The project integrates Copernicus Earth Observation data, Galileo and EGNOS high-accuracy positioning services, UAV-based inspections and AI-driven analytics into an operational Transmission Grid Digital Twin.

The service addresses two priority operational needs for TSOs: (i) early detection of emerging risks such as pylon instability, terrain deformation, vegetation encroachment, conductor degradation and fire susceptibility; and (ii) rapid localisation and situational awareness in emergency scenarios, including line interruptions and conductor drops. By delivering timely, actionable information between periodic inspections, GRIDGUARD360 supports predictive maintenance, faster intervention and improved prioritisation of field activities.

Demonstrated through real-world pilot deployments, GRIDGUARD360 aims to reduce fault localisation time by 30–50%, increase monitoring frequency by a factor of 5–10 and lower reliance on helicopter inspections, contributing to reduced emissions and operational costs. Fully aligned with the Horizon Europe EUSPA Space Data Economy programme, the project accelerates the uptake of EU Space assets in the energy sector and delivers a scalable downstream service strengthening the resilience, sustainability and competitiveness of Europe’s electricity transmission networks.
