SECURE Project - Security of Energy Considering its Uncertainty, Risk and Economic implications
WP 5.0 Co-ordination of  model and tool development and analysis by energy source/technology/sector for energy security including impacts of accidents and terrorist threats

Introduction

WP5 regroups six sectoral sub-work-packages (WP5.1 through WP.5.6) which each develop and apply specific tools (models, instruments, methods) for measuring energy security by energy source and technology (oil, gas, coal, nuclear, renewables, electricity) as well as two transversal sub-work-packages, one developing and applying methodologies for assessing the impacts of severe accidents and terrorist threat on energy security (WP5.7) and one integrating the demand dimension and reactiveness of demand (WP5.8).


Work Package 5.1: Development and application of specific tools for energy security in the Oil Sector (Upstream, transport, refining, distribution).


Work Package 5.2: Development and application of specific tools for energy security in the Gas Sector (Upstream, transport/LNG, storage, distribution).


Work Package 5.3: Development and application of specific tools for energy security in the Coal Sector (Upstream, transport, distribution).


Work Package 5.4: Development and application of specific tools for energy security in the Nuclear Sector (Upstream and transport).


Work Package 5.5: Development and application of specific tools for energy security in the Renewable sector (Hydro, wind, solar, biomass).


Work Package 5.6: Development and application of specific tools for energy security in the Electricity Sector (Generation, Transmission, Distribution and Distributed Generation).


Work Package 5.7: Development and application of methodology for assessing impacts of severe accidents and terrorist threat on energy security.


Work Package 5.8: The Demand Dimension of energy security.

The analysis will address separately energy security issues occurring outside the EU and inside the EU (according to the pathway developed in WP1: Risk characterization, Impact assessment, Estimated values of energy security measures), both in short and long term perspectives.

Objectives

WP5, with all its Sub-Work-packages, is very complex and it is therefore crucial to:

  • assure coherence in the activities of the sub-work-packages WP5.1 through WP5.6 (oil, gas, coal, nuclear, renewables, electricity) ; and to
  • assure strong communication and proper integration between the horizontal WP5.7 (accidents and terrorist threats) and WP5.8 (demand dimension) on the one hand, and the vertical sectoral sub-work-packages (WP5.1 through WP5.6) on the other hand.
  • assure proper communication and integration between all WP5 sub-work packages (WP5.1 through WP5.8) and all other SECURE work-packages (in particular WP1 as an input; WP 4 as an input and interaction; WP6 as an output).

This is the role of WP5.0

Description of work
 
Task 1:

Verify that the overall methodological framework elaborated in WP1 is applied and taken into account in the different WP5 work-packages. (OME with all WP5 leaders)

Task 2:

Identification of crucial relationships among sectoral WP5 work-packages (WP5.1 through WP5.6) and between these and the two transversal work-packages (WP5.7 and WP5.8). Organization of meetings/information exchanges to assure a coherent and integrated execution of all WP5 work-packages. (OME and all the WP5.0 participants)

Task 3:

Ensure consistency and organize proper communication between quantitative analysis of WP4 and quantitative and qualitative analysis if the different WP5. Indeed the global models of WP4 are both used as an input (scenario framework) as well as a specific tool to measure specific risks identified in the WP5 work-packages. (OME and all the WP5.0 participants)

Task 4:

Preparation of final WP5 output report (including main results from all WP5 work-packages) useful for policy recommendations to be used in WP6. (FEEM with input from all WP leaders)

Workpackage 5.0 is carried out under the co-ordination of FEEM
