Webinar Series Part 23 and 24:

Harnessing the Power of Destination Earth – applications for DSOs and network operators
This two-part webinar series focuses on how advanced Digital Twins can help transform solar energy forecasting and risk management. Organized by EO4ER’s consortium, the sessions showcase innovative ways to anticipate solar energy variability, optimize grid operations, and improve the resilience of energy systems facing climate-related challenges.
Topics discussed in Part 1: Harnessing the Power of Destination Earth: Anticipating Solar Energy Risks Using Europe’s Massive Digital Twin
The first session introduced the EO4ER (Earth Observation for Energy Risks) Digital Twin Component prototype for DSOs, developed as part of ESA’s Destination Earth program.
- How a Digital Twin Component can support decentralized energy networks
- How satellite data can help anticipate the impact of solar energy on low voltage networks
Language: English
Initial broadcast date: October 16th, 2025.
Topics discussed in Part 2: Harnessing the Power of Destination Earth – Digital Twins Driving the Future of Energy Risk Management
The second part extended the discussion toward the operational and strategic use of energy risk prediction tools for the evolving renewable energy market. Experts from Reuniwatt and their partners explored how combining EO data, probabilistic forecasting, and machine learning supports data-driven risk management and decision-making for network operators.
- The use of the Digital Twin Component to support grid planning, optimization, climate risk analysis, and risk assessment for network operators.
- Insights on managing decentralized renewable energy data through the Digital Twin Component.
Language: English
Initial broadcast date: November 27th, 2025.
