Table A – List of high value knowledge to be generated by Measure [Table A should be as comprehensive as possible, clearly identifying the specific knowledge that the Measure will generate that will help improve the competitiveness and supply of renewable energy technology. It should also be as specific as possible. It may help to order this knowledge according to the Measure stage.] No. Category Area of operation Information to be shared Key audiences Dissemination Conditions (if any) Reasons for commercial sensitivity (if any) Public (unrestricted) Public (restricted) (Restricted Information) ARENA only (Recipient Confidential Information) Examples: Technical [Please choose from: technical, financial, regulatory, logistical, or societal] Life cycle analysis; technology performance; feasibility study plant design; performance data; construction and operating costs; map of supply chain; identifying technical barriers at varying levels of renewable penetration, etc mine site engineers Yes Public release for technical info; cost data only on aggregated basis with other ARENA projects Regulatory Grid connection Data on number and location of connections, identifying optimal areas for connection and upgrade work planned DNSPs, developers applying to DNSPs, regulators Yes Delayed release; aggregated Technical Solar PV cell Improvements made researchers, Yes
Table B – Data management and transfer Overview (description of data) Collection methodology considerations Data categories Sampling frequency Format (specific data units and components) Data provider and owner Data source Transfer process / how supplied to ARENA [Insert first critical question as listed in item 3 of this Knowledge Sharing Plan. Each critical question should be listed as a sub-heading in this table with the relevant data points listed under each one.] Example: Economic feasibility assessment AETA, LCOE cost breakdown table Subcontractors will provide spreadsheet of figures underpinning financial assessment List specific data points to be captured By sec, minute, month, quarter, annually, once only, end of Measure MWh, MW, DNI levels, $$$, labour hours, GIS data e.g. proponents, consortia member, BOM, technology supplier e.g. smart metering, asset specification sheet, asset operation records, asset metering, etc e.g. automated satellite upload on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Transmission line characteristics, including line impedance data, cable lay and ratings information Study case study data on minigrid performance Load demand profiles will be provided by grid operator – agreement in place Total energy demand Half hourly over 24 hours for a year GJ and kWh Grid operator (privacy conditions apply) Meter data and gas, diesel billing data form invoices Spreadsheet to be provided on DVD as so large Enabling data Resource information and data on biogas locations Based on test buoys and BOM data, using algorithms, with panning layers Naval hazards and boundaries data Updated quarterly Geospatial data in line with Office of Spatial Policy standards Recipient Geoscience Australia Via a cloud download [As well as describing high value knowledge items (in Table A), you will need to clearly specify your methodology for capturing, storing and assessing data from your Measure. This will include: defining the form and metrics for collecting the data/information (using Table B above); describing whether the item requires any specific processing, or handling; and
