Table A – List of high value knowledge to be generated by Project [Table A should be as comprehensive as possible, clearly identifying the specific knowledge that the Project 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 life-cycle stage (see below).] 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
[The knowledge identified in Table A is to be shared throughout the Project’s life-cycle. Figure 1 provides an outline of a life-cycle for a typical large-scale renewable energy project. Figure 1 – Project life-cycle The purpose of this diagram is to identify the most relevant stages for knowledge sharing (both reports and activities) to assist completion of Table C.] Knowledge Sharing Activities The Recipient must undertake Knowledge Sharing Activities as outlined in Table C by the completion date for the corresponding Milestone as specified in Schedule 2. Table C – Detailed program of Knowledge Sharing Activities Corresponding Milestone Number and type of Knowledge Sharing Activity High value knowledge to be shared and provided to ARENA Intended audience Further information (optional) Related No. in Table A Examples: (note not all examples may be relevant to your Project) Milestone 1: Plant design Three roundtables Details of site operating plan including key design challenges overcome and an overview of the integration system ARENA Government Regulators Milestone 2: Feasibility study completed Two reports – one technical for engineers and developers; one higher level for senior managers Details of the optimal plant design including the issues identified (supply chain, integration, etc) and the solutions proposed ARENA Developers Financiers Governments Milestone 3: Construction Webinar with other funding recipients in the Emerging Renewables Program Logistical challenges encountered with remote installation and the solutions adopted Project managers within project developer and construction companies Webinar to be hosted by ARENA Milestone 4: Operation and maintenance Two site visits – one for financiers and energy users; one for Government, NSPs Overview of the plant (design, construction) and technology performance Financers Regulators NSPs To be held once 6 months of performance data has been
and regulators Energy users Government collected Milestone 5: Plant performance Two reports on first 12 months of operation – one at a higher level for managers; one at a more detailed technical level Performance of the plant against forecasts and correlated to seasons, temperature, rainfall, and atmospheric pressure records NSPs Energy users Government Milestone 6: Project completion Two presentations at industry conferences Details of experimental results including key design challenges overcome Researchers Research institutions Milestone 6: Project completion Public impact report Potential market for technology, standard of research compared to international competitors, international collaboration and ARENA Government Early-stage investors Researchers General public [Knowledge sharing activities may take a variety of forms. Some examples include expert roundtables or peer-assist workshops, public forums, presentations or participation in conferences, site visits, webinars, reports posted online or emailed to stakeholders, data sets, data visualisations and web-based tools, websites or social media platforms, journal articles or posters, models, and staff exchanges/secondments. If the same knowledge is being shared through several different activities (e.g. a report and a presentation) each activity should be listed separately. Table C should be completed with the audience in mind – e.g. are they a senior executive, a technician, or member of the public.] Schedule of standard metrics The template for the schedule of standard metrics referred to in Schedule 3 is set out below. [At Project inception, this table should be completed using Project forecasts. Ongoing reporting should report actual recorded costs or performance data. This is a standard requirement across all projects. The Project-specific data will be kept confidential, but may be used publicly in an aggregated form (e.g. total MWs generated by all ARENA-funded projects or by all projects within a particular technology category). In particular, information provided under 'Finance costs' will be for ARENA and Commonwealth use only, unless otherwise agreed in the Knowledge Sharing Plan.]
