Energy Infrastructure Tools

By ·

Here users will find web-based tools and publicly accessible models to help understand, analyze, and assess vulnerabilities and resilience of the energy sector and critical infrastructure to climate variability, global climate change, and compounding stressors. Tools include interactive mapping applications as well as navigable libraries containing scientific and technical publications, additional datasets, or models. Please let us know if there are other tools that should be listed here.

Energy Resources #

  • Bioenergy Knowledge Discovery Framework : The Bioenergy Library contains hundreds of publications, data sets, and models specifically related to bioenergy production, distribution, delivery, and end use. Many of the Bioenergy Library publication records include abstracts and links to full-text content, while certain data sets can be added to and visualized on the KDF Map. Users also have the ability to comment on entries and share links with others via email and social networking sites.
  • BioFuels Atlas : Built into Google Maps, BioEnergy Atlas includes two interactive maps, BioPower and BioFuels. These maps allow you to compare and analyze biomass feedstocks, biopower and biofuels data from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
  • BioPower Atlas : BioPower is an interactive map for comparing biomass feedstocks and biopower by location. This tool helps users select from and apply biomass data layers to a map as well as query and download biopower and feedstock data. The analysis function offers common conversion factors that allow users to determine the potential biopower production for a selected feedstock in a specific area.
  • Geothermal Prospector : NREL developed Geothermal Prospector, a web-based geographic information system (GIS) application, to support resource assessment and data exploration for the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Geothermal Technologies Office.
  • HydroGIS Viewer : The HydroGIS Viewer is a geographic information system (GIS) web map service that allows registered users to view select key information from the NHAAP. Geospatial information that can be visualized through HydroGIS Viewer include: Geospatial distribution and characterization of existing hydropower plants, dams, and generators; Environmental mitigation layers; Geospatially summarized New Stream-reach Development (NSD) potential and environmental attributes from the ORNL NSD Resource Assessment; Geospatial distribution of Non-Powered Dam (NPD) potential from the ORNL NPD Resource Assessment; Streamflow and climate time series information; Geographic reference layers.
  • Solar Roadmap : Map of the United States which contains the latest information about efforts underway and access comprehensive resources on local programs and activities by state.
  • North American Atlas of Unconventional Hydrocarbon Sources : Interactive map/tool which allows users to visualize locations of unconventional hydrocarbon sources as well as production boundaries.
  • U.S. Energy Mapping System : Interactive map with multiple layers on various aspects of U.S Energy infrastructure including energy conversion sites, transmission pathways, and various energy reserves.
  • USGS Energy Data Finder : USGS Energy Data Finder allows one to find, map, and download GIS and tabular data, databases, geospatial web services (ArcGIS, WMS, KML).
