Webinar: Harnessing the Power of Destination Earth – Part 2: Digital Twins Driving the Future of Energy Risk Management

EO4ER has been selected by ESAEuropean Space Agency in the framework of the Destination Earth (DestinE) flagship initiative to develop a Digital Twin Component (DTC) prototype for the energy sector. The EO4ER consortium brings together OHB Digital Services, THU’s Smart Grids Research Group, and Reuniwatt.

In this exclusive webinar, we will showcase a live demonstration of our DTC for Network Operators, illustrating how it can support grid planning and optimization as well as risk assessment and climate risk analysis.

Webinar Highlights:

• Scientific Overview: Prof. Heilscher, our scientific lead and expert in energy data management of decentralized renewable energy, will provide a comprehensive introduction to the DTC.
• Live Demonstration & Results: Dr. Ingo Schoolmann will present the latest results and showcase the DTC in action.
• Interactive Hands-On Session: Dr. Kaouther Belkilani will guide participants with live polls and questionnaires to gather feedback and insights.
• Moderation: Marion Lafuma will moderate the session, highlighting the practical benefits and applications of the DTC.

After this webinar, you will have a better understanding of:

• How the Destination Earth initiative is advancing the energy sector by developing a Digital Twin Component prototype under ESA’s Destination Earth initiative.
• The use of the Digital Twin Component to support grid planning, optimization, climate risk analysis, and risk assessment for network operators.
• Insights on managing decentralised renewable energy data through the Digital Twin Component.
• Real-world application and latest results of the Digital Twin Component.
• Interactive feedback during the webinar, including live polls and questionnaires to enhance the Digital Twin Component’s development.
