In 2020, NYSERDA performed the geophysical survey of two study areas in the Atlantic Ocean:, the Hudson North and Hudson South. This will further the understanding of site conditions to support offshore wind energy development. A knowledge of the physical and environmental conditions in these areas reduces risk for developers, increases safety and efficiency, and provides a starting point for project development. Information collected includes geological structure, lithology, and soil characteristics within the draft Wind Energy Areas (WEAs), from the seafloor to approximately 100 meters (m) (330 feet) below seabed (bsb). The goal of this project is to publicize high-quality seabed soil data sufficient for reducing lease holder uncertainty.

Two multi-year contracts were awarded to study the meteorological and oceanographic (“metocean”) conditions using LiDAR (light detection and ranging) technology in the waters off the Atlantic coast of New York, called the New York Bight. Metocean buoys were deployed for two years in multiple locations (Hudson South and Hudson North) to measure turbine hub-height wind speed and direction, wave and current measurements, as well as other environmental data.

Executing this multi-year project advances and supports New York’s Green New Deal, a nation-leading clean energy and jobs agenda that puts New York on a path to carbon neutrality through a globally unprecedented ramp-up of renewable energy including an increase of New York’s offshore wind target to 9,000 megawatts by 2035, up from 2,400 megawatts by 2030.

The Kids’ Well-being Indicators Clearinghouse (KWIC) contains county-level health, education and well-being data for children and youth and is used as a tool to advance policy development, planning and accountability. KWIC users are able to create: pre-built and custom indicator and county reports; motion charts; custom regions with aggregated data; presentation-ready data snapshots (KWIC Views); MyKWIC accounts to save frequently used queries and custom regions; and color-shaded maps using KWIC data — users have the ability to display community assets and district overlays on the maps as well as compare maps over time. Narratives and data source information are available for every indicator and all data on KWIC are exportable

High resolution (1-2m spacing) digital elevation models (DEMs) covering portions of the state. The DEMs are derived from LIDAR data and depict the bare earth terrain in raster format. Multiple agencies (Federal, State, and County) provided the data. The DEMs can be downloaded through the NYS Orthos Online app (http://orthos.dhses.ny.gov/).

This data set features a hyperlink to the New York State Department of Transportation’s Posted Bridges web page, which includes a link to the Posted Bridges interactive map. The interface provides up-to-date information for locating Load-Posted, R-Posted and Other-Posted bridges throughout New York. This site has been developed as a reference tool for operators of Commercial Vehicles to identify and locate structures in New York State where access and use is limited based on the vehicle's weight. Legal weights are established in Section 385 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law. All trucks operating over legal weight pursuant to a Divisible Load Overweight Permit are prohibited from crossing all R-Posted Bridges.

The Geographic Information Gateway (Gateway) is a state-of-the-art website providing public access to data, real-time information, interactive tools, and expert knowledge relevant to the Office of Planning and Development’s activities throughout New York State. Interactive map viewers enable users to easily download, visualize, and explore geographic data. A Latest Conditions page provides access to real-time information across the State, such as water quality, tide levels, and beach conditions. Also included on this site are illustrated stories, which highlight case studies, showcase community success stories, and demonstrate how the Office uses available geographic information to improve planning and decision-making. The Gateway’s suite of information and tools serves as a valuable resource for New York communities, an educational resource for schools and universities, and a guide for the responsible development of the State’s resources.

The NYSERDA-funded Integrated Energy Data Resource (IEDR) provides a single statewide platform to securely collect, integrate, analyze, and make accessible a large and diverse set of energy-related information from New York's electric, gas, and steam utilities and other sources. Useful access to useful energy data provided by the IEDR enables analyses that informs investment decisions, identifies operational inefficiencies, monitors the effectiveness of policy objectives, promotes innovation, and encourages new business models.

The IEDR includes analytic tools to enable energy stakeholders to design and run useful queries and calculations that can operate across all data types in the IEDR. Those tools' number and functionality should increase over time to align with, and support the use cases, that become operational as part of the IEDR. Additionally, relational information that describes the relationships among the various data elements in the IEDR materially affects the depth potential of users' ability to find, analyze, and generate useful information. User access to the IEDR data and analytic tools will be governed by the access controls that reflect and align with each type of user's legitimate needs while preventing unwarranted access to information that does not serve those legitimate needs.

Public, utility-managed, and commercial datasets processed by the platform and made available or planned to be made available to approved users in various forms include:
• Feeder and sub-feeder hosting capacity
• Installed and queued DER projects
• Utility Rates and Tariffs
• Customer billing and usage
• Aggregated building usage
• Disadvantaged Community Characteristics
• Land, Parcel, and Terrain attributes

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) hosts a web-based Distributed Energy Resources (DER) integrated data system at https://der.nyserda.ny.gov/. This site provides information on DERs that are funded by and report performance data to NYSERDA. Information is incorporated on more diverse DER technology as it becomes available. Distributed energy resources (DER) are technologies that generate or manage the demand of electricity at different points of the grid, such as at homes and businesses, instead of exclusively at power plants, and includes Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Systems, Anaerobic Digester Gas (ADG)-to-Electricity Systems, Fuel Cell Systems, Energy Storage Systems, and Large Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Electric Systems (larger than 50 kW). Historical databases with hourly readings for each system are updated each night to include data from the previous day. The web interface allows users to view, plot, analyze, and download performance data from one or several different DER sites. Energy storage systems include all operational systems in New York including projects not funded by NYSERDA. Only NYSERDA-funded energy storage systems will have performance data available. The database is intended to provide detailed, accurate performance data that can be used by potential users, developers, and other stakeholders to understand the real-world performance of these technologies. For NYSERDA’s performance-based programs, these data provide the basis for incentive payments to these sites.
