GLOBAL ATLAS: CONTEXT

What is the Global Atlas? A freeopen standards Global Spatial Data Infrastructure
• A global ‘public library’ of renewable resource maps – 300 + datasets
• The information is not copied or duplicated, and existing services are integrated
• Data owners use freely the platform to disseminate and reference their own datasets
• Depending on the IP restrictions, the links can be used by the Atlas online GIS, the data owners and their project partners, and the general public
The GIS interface is online and freely accessible. Basic users can access information and perform basic analyses.
‘Advanced’ users can create their own online project maps, embed those in their webportal, and use the online tools on their own datasets.

Global Atlas Institutional Structure

Global Renewable Energy AtlasSteering Committee
Secretariat and coordinationIRENA
Solar and Wind Technical GroupCEM, 2010
Bioenergy Technical GroupGBEP, 2013
Geothermal Technical Group2013
Hydropower Technical Group 2013
Marine Energies Technical Group2014
End-user network2012
How is the work organized?
The Steering Committee meets during the IRENA Assembly. Intermediate meetings
are organized at IRENA Councils and other ministerial events – CEM, GBEP.
The Secretariat is made of a team of 3 persons in IRENA Abu Dhabi.
The working groups meet twice a year, during expert meetings or workshops . Experts
are designated by the participating countries, and invited by the Secretariat. The end-user group is constantly kept informed of the developments – newsletter,
website, and can contact the Secretariat at any time. The end-user network meets once a year in Abu Dhabi WFES.
Additional ad hoc task forces are created for a temporary issue – ex data quality for
solar and wind, capacity building for solar and wind.
Participation is voluntary. Financing is shared between country contributions and
IRENA’s core budget.6

WHAT IS THE GLOBAL ATLAS?
Part I - Data Infrastructure and Sharing
9
Three main systems for the Global Atlas Data
Infrastructure
1) Geoserver is operated by data provider
2) Catalog – references the information hosted by the
geoservers. Catalog is interoperable with other initiaitves.
3) Interface can search into the catalog
10
Step1: Registering the Data on a Geoserver (open source)
11
Step 2: Remote Registration to the Catalog
12
Full description, ownership and references are preserved
Consequence 1: Data appear in Atlas interface library
13
Consequence 2: larger data dissemination
14
Consequence 3: Links can be used by third parties, other projects and initiatives with desktop GIS
15
Intellectual property?
If the data has IP restrictions – signature of a data sharing agreement with IRENA
IP remains with the data owner
Data sharing and download can be limited on demand
Service can be modified or stopped from data owner’s end
The catalog can handle private and public data16

Part II - Data visualization and analysis
17
Create your own project

19
Example 1: Wind speed, population density, protected areas
20
Example 2: Detailed site information
Example 3: Country map based on the project
21
First thematic maps are available

Example 4: Using the interface in your own website
23
Data are promoted in an interactive manner without having to develop an online GIS.Just add 1 line:
<iframe style="border: none;" width="512" height="256" src="http://irena.masdar.ac.ae/?map=299&mode=static"></iframe>
Or <iframe style="border: none;" width="512" height="256" src="http://irena.masdar.ac.ae/iframe.html?map=299&mode=static"></iframe>
Ongoing work and next steps
Integration of Countries’ solar and wind data – display, point
data Additional datasets coming online:
CENER – wind energy, global, 10 km Private companies – solar, wind, global, 5km DTU – wind energy, global, 3/5 km NASA – solar, global, 10 km
Significant improvements to the Atlas GIS, data display and
analysis tools Expansion ongoing to other renewable energy sources
