Bayesian Integration for Marine Spatial Planning and Renewable Energy Siting
نویسندگان
چکیده
The primary goal of the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) study, BAYESIAN INTEGRATION FOR MARINE SPATIAL PLANNING AND RENEWABLE ENERGY SITING is to develop a multicriteria decision support tool that improves the quality of information upon which marine spatial planning decisions are made. The project team’s goal is to develop a decision support tool that integrates scientific, economic and physical information associated with ocean conditions and activities with uncertainty values and critical stakeholder input to better inform the decision maker in siting renewable energy project on the Pacific coast of the United States.

Interactive Marine Spatial Planning: Siting Tidal Energy Arrays around the Mull of Kintyre
The rapid development of the offshore renewable energy sector has led to an increased requirement for Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) and, increasingly, this is carried out in the context of the 'ecosystem approach' (EA) to management. We demonstrate a novel method to facilitate implementation of the EA. Using a real-time interactive mapping device (touch-table) and stakeholder workshops we gathe...
متن کاملSiting Renewable Energy Facilities: A Spatial Analysis of Promises and Pitfalls
Recent efforts to site renewable energy projects have provoked as much, if not more, opposition than conventional energy projects. Because renewable energy resources are often located in sensitive and isolated environments, such as pristine mountain ranges or coastal waters, siting these facilities is especially difficult. Moreover, the viability of different renewable energy projects depends n...

Many nations have expanded their national energy portfolio to ameliorate the effects of climate change and to ensure the security and certainty of energy availability. These efforts have led to scrutiny of marine renewable energy (MRE) as one of several viable new renewable energy sources. In addition to the need to prove the reliability and efficiency of current and wave energy converters, eff...

Concern over global climate change as a result of fossil fuel use has resulted in energy production from renewable sources. Marine renewable energy devices provide clean electricity but can also cause physical disturbance to the local environment. There is a considerable paucity of ecological data at potential marine renewable energy sites that is needed to assess potential future impacts and a...
