5 Intelligent Geospatial Data Collection for Energy Infrastructure > Alicia Farag > ASERTTI Webinar Series > May 29, 2013

6 Agenda >GTI Overview >Pipeline Infrastructure Overview >New and Emerging Regulations >New Technologies >GTI s Intelligent Data Collection Program >Cloud Computing >Funding Opportunities 2

7 GTI Overview > Not-for-profit research, with 70 year history > Facilities 18 acre campus near Chicago 200,000 ft 2, 28 specialized labs Offices in AL, CA, MA, PA TX, Wash DC > Staff of 250 > Technology licensing > 1,200 patents; 500 products Offices & Labs Pilot Scale Gasification Campus Energy & Environmental Technology Center 3

8 Pipeline Infrastructure Overview 4

9 Pipeline Infrastructure Overview > Complex and diverse > On-shore and off-shore > Above ground and underground > From 1 plastic distribution pipe operating at less than 10 psig... to 36 steel interstate pipelines operating at over 2000 psig 5

10 New and Emerging Regulations 6

11 New and Emerging Regulations > Oil, gas, liquids, nuclear, power > Better maps and records > More quality control > Enhanced integrity management > DATA QUALITY! > Current focus on fossil fuels, but renewables and water will be increasingly important 7

12 Think Geospatially! > Almost all data has a spatial component > Energy infrastructure analysis is time and space dependent Assets can last up to 100 years and deteriorate at different rates Developing data within a spatial context provides opportunities for deep analysis to identify trends and visualize change > New technologies are making it easy to think geospatially > Geographic Information Systems (GIS) 8

13 New Technologies 9

14 GTI s Intelligent Energy Infrastructure Program >Objective Develop technologies and workflows to transition from paper, manual data collection towards automated, geospatial data collection >Create an architecture that provides Low cost data collection devices Simple mobile GIS software Access to the most up-to-date information Real-time data submittal from the field Minimal back-office processing 10

15 Energy Infrastructure Applications >New construction mapping and documentation >Real-time remote quality control >Routine surveys and inspections >Threat identification >Risk modeling and consequence analysis >Asset tracking and traceability >Emergency planning and response 11

16 Asset Tracking and Traceability >GTI s Technology Solution Tablet device with GIS-based data collection software High accuracy GPS receiver Barcode integration Application to convert barcode into asset attributes to auto populate the GIS Real-time data transfer with cloud computing 12

17 Workflow >Automates the entire data collection process for documenting new installations >In less than one minute... Read and decrypt barcode on assets and create gas features in the GIS (main, service, valve, fitting, etc) Populate asset attributes from information in the barcode (material type, batch number, etc) Add additional asset information automatically to asset record from predefined job/work order Define asset position geospatially using decimeter quality real time GPS Post asset to version of asset system in GIS using cloud computing 13

18 High Accuracy GPS > Integrated external high accuracy GPS receivers with tablet computers 4-inch quality data in real time Real-time post processing via satellite or IP correction services Gas assets directly inserted into the GIS (with controls) Integrated receivers, so far... > Navcom > Geneq > Trimble 14

19 Data Collection Process >Legacy Bring Paper Records to the Field Hand Draw New Assets Use Relative Landmarks Manually Document Asset Properties Bring Paper Records to Office Manually Enter Data into GIS 15

20 Data Collection Process >Newer Collect GPS Data Hand Enter Asset Definition Bring Hardware Back to the Office Download Data Post Process Data Integrate Data into GIS System of Record >Geospatial Create Asset in Field Post to GIS Version Integrate Asset into GIS System of Record 16

21 Cloud Computing > Allows data to be stored outside a company s firewall Is this good or bad? > Operational efficiency Pilot projects and IT burden ios, Android... > Security Data sensitivity Contractors > Cyber Security in the energy industry 17

22 Opportunities >Reduce costs Hardware Back office processing >Decrease risk Data quality Situational awareness Trending and tracking Risk modeling 18

23 Funding Opportunities? >Federal DOT, PHMSA, DOE, ARPA-E, RPSEA, TRB, DHS >State CEC, NYSERDA >Private GTI, PRCI, EPRI, Water RF, ITF, NineSigma 19
