.
.(* ). Dubai Electrical Energy and Water Authority( DEWA) has actually effectively introduced its 2nd nanosatellite DEWA SAT-2 aboard the Falcon 9 rocket of SpaceX from Vandenberg Area Force Base in California, U.S.A.. The nanosatellite was developed and established by Emiratis at DEWA’s Research study and Advancement Centre, in partnership with NanoAvionics in Lithuania.


.
. DEWA SAT-2, a 6U nanosatellite, includes a high-resolution cam( 4.7 metres )that will be utilized for Earth observation objectives. The high-resolution cam offers constant line-scan imaging in 7 spectral bands from an around 500km orbit. The brand-new satellite is likewise geared up with Infrared devices to determine greenhouse gases.

.
. His Excellency Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA, stated DEWA’s Space-D program, which was introduced by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, in January 2021, intends to enhance the operations, upkeep and preparation of DEWA’s networks through nanosatellites and remote picking up innovations. The program likewise looks for to train Emiratis specialised in using area innovations in electrical energy and water networks.

.
. Al Tayer kept in mind that DEWA intends to utilize nanosatellite innovation to support its cloud computing network, consequently boosting the digitisation of energy and water networks. The goal is to raise the effectiveness and efficiency of preparation, operation and preventive upkeep of the production, transmission and circulation departments, along with wise grids, power stations, and EV charging stations. This technique is anticipated to decrease expenses and enhance the financial investment of DEWA’s possessions. Furthermore, this will assist establish usage cases that add to updating the energy sector worldwide.

.
. The integrated usage of DEWA SAT-2 images and IoT measurements from DEWA SAT-1 will make it possible for DEWA to enhance the functional efficiency of power generation and water desalination plants by offering precise quotes of seawater temperature level, seawater salinity, detection of red-tide, along with fog tracking and forecasting.

.
. DEWA introduced DEWA SAT-1 in January 2022, ending up being the very first energy worldwide to utilize nanosatellites to enhance operations, upkeep and preparation of electrical energy and water networks. The nanosatellite was developed and established at DEWA’s Research study and Advancement Centre at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park.
