Course Description

 This course specifically looks at one segment of the energy sector, but the concepts learned here can be transferred to siting gas and oil pipelines, wind and solar farms, and conventional energy projects. Geographic information systems (GIS) are used to help maintain these far-flung and extremely expensive energy infrastructures. GIS is also used to help determine optimal routes for pipelines and transmission lines as energy demand and production increase, and as the grid is extended to connect to new energy sources and consumers. The course provides hands-on experience with a common decision support technology and considers how the technology may be used to facilitate public participation in siting decisions. Participants will learn what type of data is required to do a siting study using GIS, where to find the data, what kind of spatial analysis can use for energy industry and how can use those. Participants will also learn the importance of using metadata, or data about data, to determine data usability, accuracy, and relevance.

Course Objectives

• Citing case studies of ways in which GIS is used in the energy industry for facilities management and decision support;
• Explaining how GIS can be used to facilitate public participation in facilities siting decisions;
• Identifying the criteria that must be considered, identifying optimal routes for energy delivery and transmission networks;
• Creating a routing analysis for an electricity transmission project using GIS; and
• Critiquing a routing analysis and propose alternative criteria and/or solutions.
