Overseas energy storage site layout atlas

What is the North Sea Energy Atlas?

The international North Sea Energy atlas provides an overview of a range of important activities at the North Sea in the field of energy, transport, ecology, fishery and defense.

What is the DOE carbon storage Atlas?

The DOE Carbon Storage Atlas provides a coordinated update of CCS potential across the U.S. and other portions of North America. DOE has released five versions of the atlas, with the most recent being Atlas V, made available in 2015.

How many PHES sites have energy storage potential?

A recent study by the authors found 616,000 potentially feasible PHES sites with storage potential of about 23 million GWh by using geographic information system (GIS) analysis (Figure 2). Identified sites have energy storage potential in the range 2-150 GWh. The latitude range covered in the survey is between 60 degrees North and 56 degrees South.

How much energy storage does a country need?

Energy storage potential by UN geo region in units of Gigawatt-hours (GWh) per million people. A rough approximation of the storage required to support 100% renewable electricity for an advanced economy is 20 GWh per million people. Melanesia (42,000) and Canada (25,000) are off scale. How much storage is needed?

What is the Global Atlas Platform?

Currently, the Global Atlas platform allows users to access more than 1 000 renewable resource datasets and ancillary information at diferent scales – global, regional and country-specific – from 50 leading international technical institutes and private companies as partners or data contributors.

What is included in the global irradiation Atlas?

The atlas includes the global horizontal irradiation, difuse horizontal irradiation, global terrain elevation, global optimum tilt for equator-tilted PV modules, global potential PV electricity production, global irradiation at optimum tilt, and global air temperature at 2 m height.
