The SAT-Guard project is motivated by the transition towards a sustainable energy system in the UK, which requires a comprehensive, equitable, and inclusive strategy that considers the environmental, economic, and social aspects of future energy systems. The power grid is increasingly vulnerable to climate and weather-related hazards such as storms, which pose a significant risk to the continuity of power supply and our communities.
The SAT-Guard project aims to address multifaceted challenges by developing innovative Satellite-aided mechanisms designed to manage power grids proactively. The system will enable flexible and socially conscious energy management, and ensure swift and efficient power supply restoration following climate and weather-related hazards. SAT-Guard seeks to pioneer a path towards a resilient, equitable, and sustainable energy future for the UK.
