Technology Thursday - Using satellites 🛰 to detect methane emissions There are several satellites 🛰 that track worldwide methane emissions: 🛰 GHGSAT - manages a constellation of satellites with high-resolution remote-sensing of greenhouse gas from space providing emissions monitoring optimized for methane. It provides actionable data to accelerate decarbonization 🛰 MethaneSAT - launched by the Environmental Defense Fund, this satellite will locate and quantify methane emissions from oil and gas operations worldwide. Because of its high global warmer potential, reducing methane emissions provides a quick short-term solution to preventing global temperature rises in the next decade. Data from these satellites provide companies and countries an opportunity to manage and reduce their emissions. #climateaction #ghgemissions #methane

1️⃣0️⃣1️⃣ in 101 Words: Methane-Detecting Satellites Satellites are used to detect and quantify emissions. There are dozens of greenhouse gas-detecting satellites in orbit today, with plans to launch more underway. “𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬” of satellite methane detection combines three parameters into one metric to quantify the share of detectable global methane point source emissions: 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲: emissions threshold that can be detected by the satellite 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞: geographic area covered by the satellite 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲: how often a satellite successfully completes an observation of an area Satellite observations are instrumental in detecting super-emitters, such as leaking oil and gas production equipment, venting coal mines, or landfills and waste sites. #methanedetection #satellites #oilandgasindustry

Intense geomagnetic storms associated with solar activity (we call magical northern Lights 😊) can induce electric currents in power lines. These geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) can overload and damage transformers and other electrical equipment, potentially leading to power outages and disruptions in the power grid. Therefore, during severe geomagnetic storms, power grid operators take precautions to mitigate the effects of GICs, such as reducing power transmission or temporarily shutting down certain systems.

What is a magnetic storm A magnetic storm is a temporary disturbance of the Earth's magnetosphere caused by a solar wind shock wave. It is driven by a solar coronal mass ejection (CME) or a high-speed stream of solar wind originating from a coronal hole. The storm results in variations in the Earth's magnetic field, which can have significant impacts on technological infrastructure, including satellite communications, air travel, and the power grid

The theme from the 2024 #Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) Symposium: "Essential in all domains and dimensions." This resonates a ton with what we are seeing at Prius Intelli, from O&G pipeline projects to municipality drainage studies to utility grid modernization programs. This sector is experiencing rapid innovation through capabilities like gas mapping and digital twins that are surpassing the buzz word phase and becoming more practical in commercial applications. #AerialIntelligence is a game-changer and the possibilities are exciting!

The distance of exoplanets (planets outside our #solar #system) from us makes them hard to study. But revised theories, aided by next-generation #supercomputers, have enabled researchers to see further into the void. https://lnkd.in/dr8Ywi27

We engineers love non-dimensional quantities. They show how a given technology scales. In conventional wind energy, the key non-dimensional quantity is the power coefficient. It is defined as the ratio between the generated power and the wind power passing through a reference area, which is the disk with the blade span as the radius.  What about the power coefficient for airborne wind energy systems? We could simply take the ratio between the generated power and the wind power passing through the disk with the wing span as the radius. While refining Loyd’s power equations with a vortex wake model, we define this power coefficient and find that optimal quantities, such as the aspect ratio, are finite! In my Ph.D. thesis, to be defended in February, I intensively use this power coefficient to study optimal designs. #windenergy #AWES #windplanes

📢Introducing Astronergy ASTRO N7 High Hail Resistance PV Modules' outstanding performance in rigorous conditions! When operating outdoors, PV modules face challenging conditions such as heavy snow and strong winds, making mechanical strength critical. The Static Mechanical Load (SML) Test evaluates the ability of PV modules to withstand static loads, including wind, snow, and ice. 🚀We put our ASTRO N7 High Hail Resistance PV Modules to the SML test with front pressure at 6000Pa and rear pressure at -4000Pa. After the test, ASTRO N7 passed AI Detection of EL Defects with no damage at all, proving their exceptional durability and high resilience. 📽Check out the video to explore why ASTRO N7 High Hail Resistance PV Modules are ideal choices for reliable solar energy solutions. #solarpower #Astronergy #reliability #quality #durability #pvmodule
