For a blog that claims to be about pictures showing the UK energy situation, you would be forgiven for thinking that this blog has not lived up to its name.
So I shall correct this right away with a round up of the UK energy visualisations I’ve found.
Energy Plan Maker by Barnaby Kent
It shows two bars, one for consumption one for demand. The visualisation allows the user to choose what each of the bars is made up from.
Typically used to show the flow of resources from source to sink where the width of a stream is used to convey its magnitude.
The e-sankey website shows a number of examples of its use.
The example above is from this site and shows US greenhouse gas emissions by source.
This software is commercial and currently licenced at $99 per seat.
Renewables Map
This is a website that plots sustainable generators on a UK map and allows the user to drill down for more data on specific sites. Data comes from miscellaneous sources and its provenance is not shown. This technique could be used to cover energy sources more comprehensively.
There are more projects I could add now, and I will cover these projects soon, but this gives you some idea of the energy visualisation projects out there. If you have other projects you think should be added them please let me know in the comments.
