Feasibility studies for sitting and sizing solar power plants
1.

3.
Investors and electricity producers willing to invest in solar plants need precise and
thorough information to support decision-making.
On their behalf, consulting companies perform feasibility studies in order to decide
where to sit power plants and which technology to use ensuring a profitable return on
investment.
To reach that goal, consultants need a single, easy and unified access to data sets.
Such data sets include meteorological, geographical and environmental
parameters.
“Interoperability is a key point for the success of the scenario”
Input parameters & output result
•
Inputs:
– bounding box (lat., lon.), dates, scale, optional layers, valid email address
•
Output results:
– the geo-referenced layers (GeoTIFF, shape files) should be provided as a
downloadable archive
Irradiance, slope, shadow, elevation
Hydro corridors, electricity, land use, risk and hazard
Summary Issues
• Relation with ADC to integrate the Web service client
– Integration on the portal
– Consider other clients (portlet, autonomous client)
– Help of the SIF for registry
– Position paper of RAL need to be explored (
Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Science and
Technology Facilities)
