Regular use of flow series
•Every autumn reservoir content is
forecasted one year into the future
•When designing or reviewing design of
new units. Reservoir size and installed
capacity are based on reservoir inflow.
•For long term contracts a due diligence
study is performed
•Larger research projects. For instance
connecting Iceland to Europe with a
submarine power cable.

to climate change impacts. Although a
significant share of the weather impacts is already today taken into account in the
design, a change in the strength and/or frequency of damaging impacts may cause a
need to change road structures [3]. For example, trenches and bridge and culvert
structures of smaller roads have not been designed for high precipitation.

Focus in the CES project is on conditions for production of electricity from wind energy in the Nordic
area and how they might change due to global warming during the next decades. This relates both to
the production potential and especially design conditions for wind farms and their sensitivity to

may have caused preseismic velocity changes in the crust. The original design of the network had a
high clock accuracy (±1 ms). S-waves tend to be very clear, and successful 1D velocity model (SIL
model) has been used to locate earthquakes in the area, suggesting relatively simple velocity structure
in spite of active tectonic setting.

In such a scenario, the design of the participatory process itself becomes crucial to the success of
the process as well as maintaining the interest of stakeholders all through the process. One way to
avoid burn out may be to control and design the flow of information between and to stakeholders in
such a way as to avoid information overload. Another way to avoid loss of interest would be to
