GEOSS AIP-2 Kickoff

25-26 September 2008

Scenario objectives

• Support the SBA Energy by developing services providing irradiance data among other parameters

• Simulating the case of the sitting of a solar power plant.

?

What we have in hands

Meteorological data

• Access through WSDL to databases:– Monthly means of solar irradiance

– Min, max and mean values of air temperature at 2 m

– Min, max and mean values of relative humidity at 2 m

– HelioClim 3 time series of irradiance (year 2005)

– Forecast of meteo data at surface for 3 days to 3 hours

– SOLEMI time series irradiance data

– NASA–SSE–HelioClim 1 times series of daily irradiance

• Other types of access

– Real time information meteorological data

• Providers: Mines ParisTech, NCAR, DLR, NASA, Rutherford Appleton Lab

Geographical Information

• Hydrological information for US from NOAA

• Worldwide Geographical information from USGS

Tools

• PV assessments through PVGIS Server (JRC)

• Stochastical generation of test datasets for modelling of PV system (MeteoTest)

• PV Production calculator (MeteoTest)

• Computation of renewable energy parameters (NASA)

What are the missing datasets ?

• Inventory is needed for having a worldwide coverage. Use of GEO Portals and Registry but also other portals (hydrological network, grids, local demand, roads, environmental and biodiversity information, risks and hazards maps, …)

• Help from the Data and Products team

In the Workflow domain, what do we need?

Workflow

• Help form the Workflow Team

• Enterprise modeling that will lead to the workflow design

• Information and Computational Technology views for linking to GEOSS

• Recommendations for the setting of the service

• Help on technical bottlenecks

AIP-2 Master Schedule

• Within the coming month:– Planned meeting between Workflow Team,

INCOSE and the Team

• For Nov 2008:– Key design decisions– Refined agenda for setting up the service
