EU Webinar – Nov 8

Initial arrangements - Carl Zichella
90 minute webinar, about 15 on EU side, 8 on EDWG side
EU side led by Antonella Battaglini and Theresa Schneider,

Renewables Grid Initiative, Laurent Schmidt, CEO, ENTSO-E

ENTSO-E = European Network of Transmission System Operators for

Electricity

– 43 TSOs in 36 countries – Manages grid codes (standards) and 10-year Network Development Plan (TYNDP)

ENTSO-E interested in progressing a similar GIS-based

environmental data effort for transmission planning

Presenters: Fred (overview), Byron (program background), Carl

(EDWG process, building blocks, environmental and cultural risk layers and risk scoring), Nate and Jon (Data Viewer demo)

together. We received very positive feedback, in particular from ENTSO-E who are

keen on developing something similar in Europe. During the webinar, you said that you would record the session. Could you provide us with the file/ link, so that we can distribute it to the participants and our Members? That would be very helpful, thank you! We will certainly get in touch again when progressing with our plans. Best regards, Theresa Theresa Schneider Senior Manager – Communication Renewables Grid Initiative Krausenstrasse 8 | 10117 Berlin | Germany

Hazard/Dynamic Landscape Mapping

Recent western wildfire events and interaction with the bulk transmission system raised two questions:

1. Could the EDWG data assist utilities and others with a

need for landscape and habitat data during extreme events?

2. Could hazard data sets (seismic, flood, wind, fire) be

useful for transmission planning and inclusion in the EDWG data viewer? but first, some show-and-tell . . .

Nice image, but nothing in the text about actual

transmission. Distribution is

indeed where many outages

ccur, but it doesn’t matter if

transmission isn’t working.

Lots about protecting Portland’s famed Bull Run water supply and the “transmission” (big pipes) from the slopes of Mt. Hood to the city. No discussion about electric transmission needed to provide power to run water pumps.

High Wind / Windstorm Hazard Maps ??

no major mapping programs found
technical and possible liability issues
considered a subsidiary aspect, but in fact

windstorms are the prime factor for firestorms

effects may be worsening with climate change factors

enhancing windstorm severity

Hazard/Dynamic Landscape Mapping

Open discussion

Should EDWG form a subgroup to investigate the potential for incorporating data sets relevant to transmission planning?

Geohazard (earthquake, tsunami, landslide)
Flood
Windstorm
Wildfire

EDWG Data Open Season

EDWG is always ready to accept new and updated

GIS data sets

Should EDWG include an open data season during

Q1 2019 in our revised 3-year work plan and action items?

What steps did we take last time and what were the

results?

EDWG User Survey

EDWG has conducted mini-surveys in the past (Data

Viewer usability, etc.)

We have discussed a more general user survey but

have not proceeded

Is this the right time to commit to a survey? If so,

items to address include:

– Purpose, timing, sample frame, survey instrument, analysis, report-back – Oversight, development, testing, staff and contractor resources

Should EDWG form a sub-group to oversee a survey?
