ESIG (Energy Systems Integration Group)’s Post

"This study provides a nationwide assessment of current interregional transmission capability and offers planners a framework for (1) assessing transmission’s adequacy and resilience benefits at a national scale, and (2) prioritizing transmission investments that offer the greatest benefits for system resilience." 👇🏻

Very Detailed and intriguing read on present Transmission Portfolio Analysis and possible expansion scenario feasibility and viability. Also, on methodology part , how to foresee as a Planner and as an Investor or a Consultant. #hitachienergy #portfoliooptimization #capacityexpansion #productioncostmodeling

🚨 EXPLORE ESIG's LATEST REPORT 🚨 "Interregional Transmission for Resilience: Using Regional Diversity to Prioritize Additional Interregional Transmission" This report sets forth a methodology for assessing where additional interregional transmission capability can provide the greatest benefits for system resilience. Thanks to ESIG's Transmission Resilience Task Force for this timely and in-depth report. Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/eGNAPvKD

[REPLAY 📺] Last week, we had an exciting discussion hosted by the US Embassy Paris and Consulates about the concept of energy security from US-GER-FR perspectives: 📌 Here some take-aways: ➡ If each country has been affected differently by the energy crisis, conclusions are the same: there is a consens that energy security goes hand and hand with the support and further deployment of decarbonized energies. The consideration of the whole energy supply chain must be systematic, as well as the industrial related dimensions (ex: transportation capacity-building) ➡ Balance should be found: cooperation must be enhanced notably for energy supply, for NATO energy missions as well as for technological development, while rule-based competition should be supported for the deployment of decarbonized energies. ➡ The transatlantic cooperation remains important but not sufficient. Since energy security is a global issue, it must be addressed with other regions through existing international and diplomatic tools. The guarantee of a clear, fair rule-based coopetition is seen as essential, which might constitute a field of cooperation/coordination among the North-Atlantic countries that might be reinforced. ➡ In a NATO-UE cooperation framework, infrastructures used to be a field of cooperation with a dual use for civilians and military. Since energy technologies are by nature neither civilian nor military, a support for cross-investments between civil and military sectors could constitute an efficient way to actively support the efforts led towards the deployment of decarbonized energies. Want to know, how we came to those conclusions? I can only recommend to watch the replay...

Continued utilization and repurposing of infrastructure keeps the local economy going.

New Battlefields: Shift from Borders to Energy Infrastructures 17 billion cubic meters of natural gas was blown up near Lviv. Ukraine is "finished" from an energy point of view: 17 billion cubic meters of natural gas were blown up from an underground reservoir at a depth of 50 meters! At dawn, Russia achieved the largest strategic strike in Ukraine in history, when it destroyed the largest underground gas storage in Bilche-Volitsko-Uher in the city of Stryjak near Ľvov with Kh-47 Kinzhal supersonic missiles and Kh-101 cruise missiles, along with 17 billion cubic meters stored gas! The attack came from three different sides. The destruction of natural gas, means that Ukraine is "done" from an energy perspective. A total of eight MiG-31 fighters carrying Kinzhal and Kh-101 aircraft hit the stack, causing a nuclear-like mushroom cloud visible from Poland, 100 km from the Ukrainian border. The tank was located at a depth of 50 meters from the surface of the earth, which did not prevent Kinžal from going through the stony ground "like a knife through butter" and exploding into the tank! The country currently has less than half of its gas reserves, and after the destruction of the reservoir, it cannot even be supplied from the European market. Present day wars are being fought totally differently and instead of centres of military mights, the energy infrastructure are first and foremost targets. It cripples the Nation when it's energy security is compromised. Prof. SB Tyagi who is Chief Councillor of International Council For Industrial Security, Safety & Management is of the opinion that the new signatures of international battlefields will be on energy installations and their supply chain network. He has worked as Security Chief in GAIL India limited, an eminent world Gas Major and the one which has largest LPG pipeline network in the world. Through his long professional experience, he observes that oil and gas installations have very high degree of criticality, vulnerability and probability and resultantly they need highest grade of security which in any case cannot be impregnable because of the inherent nature of their processes and properties. The the new word has turned a corner and it has changed the entire nature, complexities and character of battles and battlecraft, strategies and tactics. https://lnkd.in/gR3ScqMv

Australian energy affordability, reliability and security should be the guiding principles in this space!

Thank you Roger Pielke for this excellent analysis from an economic perspective. Worth sharing! #Climatepolicy #Energyreality #Electricitygeneration #Energypolicy
