Abstract

The U.S. operates and maintains a vast array of critical infrastructure (CI), from energy and water systems to transportation systems and communication nodes. Operating and maintaining this CI is a complex challenge, particularly as infrastructure continues to age and overall investments continue to decline. It is within this context that resilience is discussed.

Critical Infrastructure for Ocean Research and Societal Needs in 2030

Technical Report National Research Council

The United States has jurisdiction over 3.4 million square miles of ocean expanse greater than the land area of all fifty states combined. This vast marine area offers researchers opportunities to investigate the ocean's role in an integrated Earth system, but also presents challenges to society, including damaging tsunamis and hurricanes, industrial accidents, and outbreaks of waterborne diseases. The 2010 Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Horizon oil spill and 2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami are vivid reminders that a broad range of infrastructure is needed to advance our still-incomplete understanding of the ocean.

Sustaining the National Geothermal Data System: Considerations for a System Wide Approach and Node Maintenance, Geothermal Resources Council 37th Annual Meeting, Las Vegas, Nevada, September 29-October 2, 2013

Conference Allison, Lee ; Chickering, Cathy ; Anderson, Arlene ; ...

Since the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act the U.S. Department of Energy’s Geothermal Technologies Office has funded $33.7 million for multiple data digitization and aggregation projects focused on making vast amounts of geothermal relevant data available to industry for advancing geothermal exploration. These projects are collectively part of the National Geothermal Data System (NGDS), a distributed, networked system for maintaining, sharing, and accessing data in an effort to lower the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE). Determining “who owns” and “who maintains” the NGDS and its data nodes (repositories in the distributed system) is yet to be determined. However, themore »« less

High Temperature Reactor Research and Development Roadmap, Draft for Public Comment

Program Document Gougar, Hans D.

Nuclear power provides clean, reliable energy, contributing about 20 percent of the electricity generated in the United States. It supplies approximately 60 percent of our non-greenhouse-gas emitting power, making it our nation’s single largest contributor of carbon-free electricity. This vital component of the U.S. energy portfolio avoids hundreds of millions of tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year and supports hundreds of thousands of U.S. jobs, and yet is facing unprecedented challenges. Complex market factors, falling alternative generation costs and lower electricity demand forecasts have made operating nuclear power plants uneconomical in some parts of the country. The industry ismore »« less

Infrastructure Ecology for Sustainable and Resilient Urban Infrastructure Design

Conference Jeong, Hyunju ; Pandit, Arka ; Crittenden, John ; ...

The population growth coupled with increasing urbanization is predicted to exert a huge demand on the growth and retrofit of urban infrastructure, particularly in water and energy systems. The U.S. population is estimated to grow by 23% (UN, 2009) between 2005 and 2030. The corresponding increases in energy and water demand were predicted as 14% (EIA, 2009) and 20% (Elcock, 2008), respectively. The water-energy nexus needs to be better understood to satisfy the increased demand in a sustainable manner without conflicting with environmental and economic constraints. Overall, 4% of U.S. power generation is used for water distribution (80%) and treatmentmore »« less
Energy resiliency. Hearing before the Subcommittee on Energy, Nuclear proliferation, and Government Processes of the Committee on Governmental Affairs, United States Senate, Ninety-Seventh Congress, Second Session, May 21, 1982

Book

Nine witnesses, including William A. Vaughan of DOE, Robert H. Kupperman of Georgetown University, Donald G. Handy of the Illinois Alcohol Fuels Association, and Amory and Hunter Lovins addressed the question of the US energy infrastructure's vulnerability to terrorism or sabotage and the impact this has on national security. Some of the witnesses testified on the lack of consideration given to security as the US built up its energy systems. Vaughan proposed a program to identify key vulnerabilities, take corrective measures, encourage organizations to reduce the risks, and prepare an appropriate response if events exceed the energy system's resiliency.
