Construction of a WebGIS Tool Based on a GIS Semiautomated Processing for the Localization of P2G Plants in Sicily (Italy)

Abstract

The recent diffusion of RES (Renewable Energy Sources), considering the electric energy produced by photovoltaic and wind plants, brought to light the problem of the unpredictable nature of wind and solar energy. P2G (Power to Gas) implementation seems to be the right solution, transforming curtailed energy in hydrogen. The choice of the settlement of P2G plants is linked to many factors like the distances between the gas grid and the settlement of RES plants, the transportation networks, the energy production, and population distribution. In light of this, the implementation of a Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) into a Geographic Information System (GIS) processing represents a good strategy to achieve the goal in a specific territorial asset. In this work, this method has been applied to the case of study of Sicily (Italy). The paper shows in detail the geomatic semi-automated processing that allows to find the set of possible solutions and further to choose the best localization for new P2G plants, connected to a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) and integrated with a WebGIS visualization for real-time analysis. This system is useful for the management, the development, and the study of hydrogen technologies, in order to link the electrical network and the gas network datasets with economical and infrastructural assets through GIS processing. In the future new factors will join in the process as policies on hydrogen take shape.

Pemanfaatan Sistem Informasi Geografis Berbasis Web Dalam Meningkatkan Akurasi Informasi Terkait Rekam Jejak Sumur Minyak Dan Gas Bumi Di Pulau Madura

“…Penggunaan webgis saat ini telah berkembang untuk berbagai sektor seperti pemanfaatannya dalam pembangunan wilayah seperti smart city (Hari Ginardi et al, 2017), pendidikan, integrasi basis data biota laut (Agurto et al, 2018), integrasi dengan sistem cloud computing (De Lázaro Torres et al, 2017;Fortunato et al, 2017;Helmi et al, 2018;Piragnolo et al, 2021;Sciacca et al, 2022;Xia et al, 2015), kesehatan (Barik et al, 2019;Mooney & Juhász, 2020), bibliografi dalam penelitian (Howell et al, 2019), manajemen mitigasi kebencanaan (Capolupo et al, 2021;Fauzia et al, 2021;Feng et al, 2012;Franceschini et al, 2022;Gang et al, 2016;Gebreegziabher et al, 2021;Xianfu et al, 2012), forecasting (Fortunato et al, 2017), pariwisata (Klug et al, 2012), minyak dan gas bumi (Abdunaser, 2020;Khan & Hasan, 2020;Li, 2020;Russell et al, 2015;Valensise et al, 2022), hingga dalam memberikan solusi kebijakan dalam penentuan lokasi pembangkit listrik power to gas (La Guardia et al, 2021).Penggunaan perangkat lunak dalam bidang geospasial sangat disarankan sesuai dengan amanat UU No 11 Tahun 2011 tentang Informasi Geospasial pasal 31 yang menyatakan bahwa pengolahan data geospasial dan informasi geospasial dilakukan dengan perangkat lunak yang berlisensi dan/atau bersifat bebas dan terbuka (Mary Fargher, 2018;Serrano-Estrada et al, 2021).…”

“…Webgis juga dapat dilakukan dalam pengambilan keputusan oleh pemerintah, maupun perencanaan kedepannya untuk memberikan langkah strategies terhadap pembangunan (Grecea et al, 2016). Solusi untuk pengelolaan sumber energi terbarukan yang menghubungkan relational database management system (RDBMS) dengan webgis sehingga dapat memberikan saran kepada pemangku kepentingan nantinya (La Guardia et al, 2021).…”

Possibilities for Assessment and Geovisualization of Spatial and Temporal Water Quality Data Using a WebGIS Application

“…As digitalization accelerated, the ability to navigate in the digital space and on the digital map also became important in the information society, which were gradually included among digital competences, confirmed by numerous multidisciplinary research projects [44][45][46][47][48]. Of course, the geovisualization procedures found in scientific publications are not limited to spatial data or databases alone, as these techniques aim to develop visualization techniques via the use of maps, enabling them to effectively serve different disciplines involving a number of other data sources [49][50][51][52][53].…”
