Supporting satellite-based DEM wind analysis for Gridraven

Gridraven is the world's largest Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) provider for high-voltage grids with 11,000 km grid covered based in Tallinn, Estonia. In the ESA funded project Gridraven studies the use of satellite based DEMs to enable high-accuracy wind predictions in regions lacking ALS DEM coverage,

Terramonitor is supporting project and will provide high-quality satellite-derived DEMs in Europe and North-America to be tested and analysed for further use. Third member of the project, the University of Tartu, contributes its expertise in remote sensing of canopies and forests.

Together, the partners will validate the use of satellite DEMs in Gridraven’s wind prediction models, which currently rely on Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) DEMs with proven success.
