2 Why Resilience? 75% of world s cities located in exposed coastal zones Source: Center for Climate Science Research Hazard Exposure Page 2

3 Why Resilience? Fast-growing cities are expanding into risk zones Ho Chi Minh City and other fast-growing urban zones are developing into risk areas million million million Hazard Exposure Page 3

5 Frequency of Occurrence Projected Future Past ( ) Changing Hazards For the New York Metropolitan area Flooding Events Drought Heat Wave Wind events (Nor easter, Hurricane) 1 in 100 years 1 in 100 years 2 per year 1 storm per 3 years 1 in 15 years Unclear 8 per year More frequent Source: NYC Panel on Climate Change, 2009; ClimAID, NYSERDA, Page 5

6 Protection and Resilience Actions & Investments Short-term Medium-term Longer-term Technology & Investment Flood defences Gas-insulated switchgear Undergrounding Manual demand management Decentralized generation Smart grid ready appliances Smart meters & IT infrastructure Relocating installations Automated demand management EV to grid Enabling actions Assessment of critical systems Building codes Integrated control centers Reg. reform GIS asset monitoring Communication with customers Real-time pricing Integrated development & energy planning Page 6

7 US$Billions Action Plan With cost-benefit $6 $4 Do Nothing Anticipated damage to the power grid over 20 years: USD 1-3 bn $2 $0 Protection only Investment pays back through reduced damage But city still has net losses ($2) ($4) Years No Action Partial Investment Full Implementation Page 7 Full Grid Resilience Protection PLUS system resilience, reliability and efficiency Net benefits

12 Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communications Houston, Texas, USA Page 12 Pilot project in Harris County, Texas, in response to Hurricane Ike Traffic lights & vehicles communicate in real time Data from smart phones in vehicles are aggregated to produce real-time estimates of numbers of vehicles on the road, & their speeds Data mapped in a database accessible to drivers via smartphone During evacuation, allows drivers to choose route with shortest travel time Traffic lights can detect emergency vehicles & turn green to facilitate rapid response

15 Automation and remote control Sao Paolo, Brazil Page 15 The growing population of the São Paulo metropolitan region in Brazil requires an ever increasing supply of water The water utility, Sabesp, has introduced a new Water Supply Operation Control System (Nova SCOA) to manage critical pressure points in the water supply network Automation and remote controls improve reliability of drinking water distribution Daily operation plans can be adjusted according to demand, which helps to avoid the risk of water shortages and increase operating efficiency by pumping water only when it is needed

17 3D simulation of human behavior enables advanced evacuation planning London, UK Page 17 The behavior of building occupants during an emergency can be modeled prior to an event, using advanced 3D simulation software The software enables movement through a building or space to be forecast up to ten times faster than real time with relative accuracy, including places where blockages may occur This tool improves human preparedness, coordination and response. With a faster than real time reaction, this technology also helps to gain valuable time in a situation where every second counts

18 Action points Resilience is a must to become and remain competitive Resilience should be an integral part of planning and can be achieved through normal operational investment cycles Resilience provides additional benefits, e.g. energy efficiency, safety & security etc. Intelligent, automated, infrastructure is a major lever for resilience Page 18
