INSPIRE Data specification on Energy resources (ER) Version 2.0

Thematic Working Group on Energy Resources

Temporary Facilitator: Martin Tuchyna & Editor: Diederik Tirry

Edinburgh, Scotland30 june 2011

2INSPIRE Conference, Edinburgh 2

Main aim:

…prepare data specifications ensuring exchange of spatial data in the energy resources domain…

TWG ERTWG ER

3INSPIRE Conference, Edinburgh 3

Basic facts:• One of the smallest TWG (few new experts joined recently)• 17 meetings so far: 3 physical, 14 teleconferences• Still waiting for facilitator

Profile of the group: • Coverage of 6 EU countries• Limited domain expertise (lack of renewables expertise)• Close connection with JRC Institure of Energy (Petten)• Representation of public, private and academic sector• Related EU funded projects representation (EuroGeoSource)• International and national domain networks coverage

OverviewOverview

• Definition: “Energy resources including hydrocarbons, hydropower, bio-energy, solar, wind, etc., where relevant including depth/height information on the extent of the resource [Directive 2007/2/EC]”

• Legislation:– Energy 2020 - A strategy for competitive, sustainable and

secure energy

– Overview of the secondary EU legislation (directives and regulations) that falls under the legislative competence of DG for Energy and that is currently in force

OverviewOverview

Two categories of Energy Resources:

OverviewOverview

• In scope of data specifications– geographical areas that have been,

are currently, or will be in the future mapped to indicate the presence and (potential) availability of Energy Resources.

– located in terrestrial, aquatic and/or marine environments, and may be under either public or private ownership

– focus to the resource aspect and the extent/distribution of the resources.

8

OverviewOverview

• Out of scope– Secundary Energy Resources (e.g.

Electricity)– Technical constructions for

abstraction, transport and treatment, these are largely covered by TWG PF

– Energy use, e.g. petrol consumption.– Fissile Minerals: U and Th– Raw data for non-renewable Energy– Anthropogenic energy e.g. Biogas

Main concepts of data modelMain concepts of data model

• 3 conceptual application schemas:

Base

•provides a core set of common Energy Resource types

Features

•Delimitation of renewable and non-renewable Energy Resources (horizontal/vertical extent)

•Classification and Quantification of Energy Resources

Coverages

•Focus on continuous variation of renewable energy properties (potential energy resources)•Generic modelling pattern•Variables: resource type and measure

Open issues – Discussion pointsOpen issues – Discussion points

• Scope– Bio-Energy– Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS)– Data quality & dataset/level metadata requirements– Annex I placeholders

• Technical implementation– Implementation on Coverages (Statistics, Multisurfaces, ...)– Encoding of Coverages– Choice of proper rangetype/measures– Portrayal
