GEOSS AIP5 Architecture Implementation Pilot Phase 5 Energy

GEOSS AIP-5 Architecture Implementation Pilot, Phase 5 - Energy Session KO Summary Lionel Ménard - Session Lead - MINES Paris. Tech Kick-off Meeting May 2012

Participants • • • Lucien Wald (MINES Paris. Tech) Larry Mc Govern (INCOSE) Hervé Caumont (Terradue) Steve Browdy (OMSTech) George Percival (OGC) Lionel Menard (MINES Paris. Tech)

The proposed Energy scenario: “Generation of local atlases for decision-support in solar energy policy planning and private investment ”

Issues tackled Targeted users: Policy planners, consulting companies Decision making – Potential Area of Interest – Precise Site selection • Improve accuracy from existing databases to assess the potential of solar energy in a focused area of interest (improvement range from 3 km to 200 m) • Relate this information to other types of geographical information, e. g. , physical and administrative • Provide computer-aided method for decision making, (eg. desktop or Web based GIS applications) • Cope with GEOSS recommendations on Interoperability • Develop a replicable and scientifically-validated methods for creation of such atlases within the European FP 7 funded ENDORSE project (GEOSS 2012 -2015 EN-01 Contribution).

Contributed services and components Map layers (OGC WMS/WFS) • • MINES Paris. Tech – Irradiation maps (GHI, DNI, BHI) (GEOSS Data Core) – Elevation and Slopes from SRTM DEM French Ministry in charge of environment – Land Cover from Corine Land Cover 06 (CLC 06) – Wind speed classification (10 meters high mean speed) French Mapping Agency (IGN) – Natural and protected areas, administrative limits Università degli Studi di Genova (UNIGE) – Air temperature at 2 -meter height. Point-wise uncertainty in air-temperature mapping

Contributed services and components GEOSS/GCI compatible components • Geo. Server for map layers: OGC Web services (WMS, WFS) • OGC CSW Catalogue (Geo. Network) • ISO 19119 Metadata – Harvest catalogue via GEOSS Discovery & Access Broker • Web GIS Client to support easy visualization (Open. Layers) • �Possible support from other clients Pyxis, TU ( Dresden, …)

Modeling Activity • Energy scenario wishes to contribute to modeling activity • Expectations: – Model the AIP-5 Energy Scenario – Get expertise – Support efficient dissemination of GEOSS in the Energy Community

Work Plan • June: Finalize scenario data layers inputs (WMS) • July: Finalize Metadata creation and CSW Catalogue • September: Finalize the Web. GIS Client – Client ready for testing – Demo capture
