“…The two stages may each take several years. Politicians and the Federal Network Agency expect there to be a greater acceptance of power pylons by local citizens if they are involved in the planning procedures, but there is no proof of this so far, and some serious doubts can be raised (Kubicek 2014a;Schweizer et al 2014).…”

Public Administration and Information Technology publishes authored and edited books that examine the application of information systems to common issues and problems in public administration. This series examines both the successes of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) adoption and some of the most important challenges to implementation. The books published in this series will address all areas of public administration, through the use of information technology adoption in the public and nonprofit sectors, and in the private sector where important lessons can be learned for public managers and policy analysts. New and emerging technologies that will have a lasting impact on public administration will be featured in this series. Both developed and developing countries will be examined in this series. The series particularly welcomes books that cover international dimensions of public administration and information technology. The research in this series will be able to bridge both theory and practice to provide relevance to public managers. The series will cover all aspects of e-governance/e-government research, and new and emerging trends and issues in this research. The series publishes edited books, monographs, upper-level textbooks and research handbooks.

“…Hierbij komt nog dat er (te) weinig nieuwe governance structuren zijn geïntroduceerd om met eenzelfde mate van stabiliteit en helderheid te regelen wie er verantwoordelijk is voor onderhoud en vernieuwing van de infrastructuur. Ook is er tijdens deze verschuiving meer aandacht nodig voor het betrekken van de nieuwe opwekkers bij het aanpakken van deze vraagstukken (Schweizer et al, 2016).…”

De crowd speelt steeds vaker een sleutelrol in innovaties. Dergelijke 'crowd-based innovaties' bieden veel kansen voor vernieuwing in socio-technische systemen, bijvoorbeeld doordat meer mensen, makkelijker mee kunnen doen. Tegelijkertijd brengen zij belangrijke uitdagingen met zich mee doordat deze nieuwe praktijken plaatsvinden in een gevestigde institutionele en governance context. Deze dynamiek is te vangen in het idee van een 'institutional void': de spanning tussen (radicaal) nieuwe initiatieven en de geijkte structuren, regels en routines. Dit roept vragen op over het waarborgen van (publieke) waarden bij crowd-based innovaties. In dit artikel betogen we dat dit fenomeen vraagt om meer, gedegen empirisch onderzoek maar dat ook normatieve kwesties moeten worden meegenomen. Aan de hand van een typologie en drie voorbeelden wordt deze dynamiek beschreven en komen we tot een multidisciplinaire onderzoeksagenda voor andere governance structuren, waarbij innovaties niet voor de voet gelopen worden maar er wel aandacht blijft voor de waarde van bestaande instituties. English summary: Crowd-based innovations: shifting responsibilities in an institutional voidThe crowd increasingly plays a key role in facilitating innovations in a variety of sectors, spurred on by IT-developments and the concomitant increase in connectivity. Initiatives in this direction, captured under the umbrella-term 'crowd-based innovations', offer novel opportunities in socio-technical systems by increasing the access, reach and speed of services. At the same time, they signify important challenges because these innovations occur in a context of traditional, well-established institutional and governance structures and practices. This dynamic is captured in the idea of the 'institutional void': the tension between traditional structures and (radically) new initiatives. Existing rules, standards and practices are challenged, which raises questions about the safeguarding of public values such as quality, legitimacy, efficiency and governance of crowd-based innovations. This article argues that understanding these tensions requires supplementing empirical research with an explicitly normative dimension to reach thorough and balanced conclusions to facilitate innovation while protecting the valuable elements in existing rules and regulations. Illustrated by a number of short examples, we propose a multidisciplinary research agenda towards formulating appropriate governance structures.

“…A sustainable approach to subsurface use therefore requires spatial planning for minimized competition and maximized synergies (ARL 2012;Gerling 2010;Bovet 2014). Bauer et al [at http:// angusplus.de/en/publications/journal-articles (doi:10.1007/ s12665-013-2883-0)] qualitatively demonstrated the expectable mutual effects of different subsurface applications on each other and identified a need for site-specific process quantifications.…”

“…Data availability in turn contributes to the transparency of subsurface uses. As the public concern over and involvement in subsurface operations has become a major issue (e.g., Bleicher and Gross 2015), public information and participation are increasingly required (Ashworth et al 2010;Friedl and Reichl 2016;Schweizer et al 2014). To this end, communication and visualization tools (e.g., Zehner et al 2010) are valuable media for knowledge transfer in energy infrastructure projects.…”

Energy storage in the geological subsurface: dimensioning, risk analysis and spatial planning: the ANGUS+ project

et al. 2016

New techniques and methods for energy storage are required for the transition to a renewable power supply, termed ''Energiewende'' in Germany. Energy storage in the geological subsurface provides large potential capacities to bridge temporal gaps between periods of production of solar or wind power and consumer demand and may also help to relieve the power grids. Storage options include storage of synthetic methane, hydrogen or compressed air in salt caverns or porous formations as well as heat storage in porous formations. In the ANGUS? project, heat and gas storage in porous media and salt caverns and aspects of their use on subsurface spatial planning concepts are investigated. The optimal dimensioning of storage sites, the achievable charging and discharging rates and the effective storage capacity as well as the induced thermal, hydraulic, mechanical, geochemical and microbial effects are studied. The geological structures, the surface energy infrastructure and the governing processes are parameterized, using either literature data or own experimental studies. Numerical modeling tools are developed for the simulation of realistically defined synthetic storage scenarios. The feasible dimensioning of storage applications is assessed in sitespecific numerical scenario analyses, and the related spatial extents and time scales of induced effects connected with the respective storage application are quantified. Additionally, geophysical monitoring methods, which allow for a better spatial resolution of the storage operation, induced effects or leakages, are evaluated based on these scenario simulations. Methods for the assessment of such subsurface geological storage sites are thus developed, which account for the spatial extension of the subsurface operation itself as well as its induced effects and the spatial requirements of adequate monitoring methods.
