Caribbean Electrical Transmission Risk Analysis Web-Map Project
This project aims to analyze the risk factors associated with electrical transmission in the Caribbean region, focusing on Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. By integrating data on the electrical grid, natural disasters, and asset information, the project seeks to provide insights for disaster preparedness and resilience. Advanced spatial analysis and open data sources are utilized to enhance the project's effectiveness. Various tools and resources such as GIS software and JavaScript APIs are employed to create a comprehensive web-map for visualizing and assessing risks. The project also emphasizes the importance of combining different spatial datasets to improve the efficiency of risk assessment and response strategies.

OUTLINE Goal & Objective GOAL & OBJECTIVE Definition How Will This Improve ? Methodology Reason for this Topic Review of the POWER LOST Report: Sizing Electricity Losses in Transmission and Distribution Systems in Latin America and the Caribbean. Current Target Site Location: Puerto Rico and US Virgin Island Reason for Site Location: High Potential of a Natural Disaster Event (Hurricanes Territory) Main Goal: Complete the initial web-map displaying the required data sources Target Site location, Electrical grid, Natural disasters, and all the important asset data information Maintain that the software and datasets are all based on an open data source Future Goal: Add advance spatial analysis (i.e. hotspots) involving the connections between the natural disaster dataset and the electrical grid Proof of Concept: Present a formal example of code with open-sourced datasets Full Demo (Web-Map Design) Deliverable Results Acknowledgement Resources Questions
OUTLINE Goal & Objective DEFINITION Definition How Will This Improve ? Methodology Electric Transmission System: An Electrical Grid Setup Powerplants, Distribution Systems, and Sub-Stations FEMA: Federal Emergency Management Agency FERC: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission OOCUR: Organization of Caribbean Utility Regulators Geany: free software is to be a lightweight stable programmer s text editor (run on windows) CodePen:A social development environment that allows the ability to write code into the browser and see its results throughout the process. Focuses on (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) QGIS:Quantum GIS; User friendly Open Source (GIS) Runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, and Windows. Esri JavaScript API version 4.17:It is an application program interface that allows code that allows two software programs to communicate with each other. This focuses on the Esri Program Full Demo (Web-Map Design) Deliverable Results Acknowledgement Resources Questions
OUTLINE HOW WILL THIS IMPROVE ? Goal & Objective Definition How Will This Improve ? Methodology Current Information Process: Separate Electric Transmission Spatial Information Separate Natural Disaster Hotpot Spatial Information Limited Spatial Analysis Examples of Caribbean Islands in relations towards the Grid System Three (3) Data Elements to Analyze Connection Full Demo (Web-Map Design) Deliverable Results Acknowledgement Resources Caribbean Islands (Potential High-Risk Locations) Questions Potential Improvements of the Process: Providing a singular geospatial platform to combine the three main components Quicker Interactivity with risk assessment analysis based on the site location, natural events, and electric grid detail Electrical Transmission Grid System (Analysis of Potential Weaknesses) Natural Disaster (Measurement of the Level of Impact)
