SunFlower - Data centres and ICT sites to provide flexibility to the electric...Alessandro Bogliolo
ICT is playing an important role in the reduction of CO2 footprint, both because of the technologies adopted to manage smart grids and because of the power savings that ICT is bringing in all other sectors. On the other hand, ICT is also responsible for a sizeable share of electricity consumption and carbon footprint (about 8% and 4%, respectively, in EU).
Increasing the share of renewable energy sources promises to decouple energy consumption from CO2 footprint, contributing to environmental and energetic sustainability. The intermittent and unpredictable nature of renewable sources, however, gives rise to stability and management issues that limit their actual exploitation and imposes huge investments in distributed auxiliary systems providing flexibility to the power transmission and distribution networks. Additional flexibility can be provided by the loads, in case they are able to react dynamically to specific control signals by adapting their power demand to the actual conditions of the electricity system.
Data centers and, in general, ICT sites (including radio base stations and Telco central offices) are ideal candidates to provide flexibility to the electricity system, in that: i) they have their own energy resources to meet continuity requirements and reduce energy costs, ii) they are everywhere, iii) they are able to migrated data and tasks in ways the energy cannot be migrated, and iv) their energy demand matters!
20 European partners, including academic institutions, research centers, Telco's, and energy operators, are working together to create the technical, regulatory, and market conditions to exploit the flexibility potential of data centers and ICT assets in the electricity system. Most important, the SunFlower project is aimed at making it profitable for data center operators to enter the energy flexibility market.

In less than 40 years, 70% of the world’s population will reside in our cities. This rapid
migration will push both current and future urban centres to their seams and expand industrial
and residential infrastructures beyond their breaking points.
This eye-opening fact raises important questions that must be considered by cities around the
world. Can this growth be done in a sustainable way? Will cities be able to reduce their
environmental impact and carbon emissions? Will we be able to meet the sustainability
challenges brought on by regulation and the impact of this massive growth? And, will we
expand in ways which ensure communities are enjoyable places to live and promote social
equality?
We can answer affirmatively to these concerns, and re-design our cities with these thoughts
in mind. With the movement towards smart cities, the urban centres we live in can become
more efficient, livable, and sustainable in both the short and long term, thanks to involvement from city, citizens, and businesses.
Éco-quartiers et réseaux de chaleur : une solution pour les villes de demain ...LIEGE CREATIVE
Les villes de demain seront en première ligne pour faire face à des enjeux sociaux et environnementaux de grande ampleur… notamment pour atteindre les ambitions de réduction d’émissions de CO2 aux horizons 2030 et 2050.
Pour y arriver, une transition doit être amorcée dès maintenant en imaginant le développement de nouveaux systèmes collectifs et d’écoquartiers qui présentent un intérêt en termes d’optimisation des ressources et de l’organisation de la ville.
D’un point de vue énergétique, les solutions collectives s’imposent en permettant le foisonnement des besoins et l’accès à des sources d’énergie plus vertueuses. Ces solutions contribuent alors à une transition vers un mix énergétique global plus décarboné.
Composants essentiels de ces écoquartiers et solutions collectives, les réseaux de chaleur et de froid sont néanmoins soumis à des contraintes pratiques, juridiques, économiques et techniques freinant leur développement.
Les écoquartiers et réseaux de chaleur sont-ils donc une solution viable pour les villes de demain ?

Investigations into the lifetime of gas meter batteries in the NetherlandsMachiel Joosse
At 2020 there will be about seven million smart gas meters installed in the Netherlands, using batteries that are supposed to last for about 20 years. The long lifetime of the batteries is crucial, because an operation to replace them would be on a large scale and therefore expensive. Distribution System Operators (DSO’s) have to be able to rely on a lengthy lifetime. The Dutch DSO’s Netherlands (within Netbeheer Nederland), joined forces to carry out a unique study of the predicted and actual battery lifetime. In this study, batteries were examined from gas meters that had already been operating for 4-5 years. The results were promising: after 4-5 years: the actual (practical) lifetime of the batteries examined turned out to be in line with the predicted (theoretical) values.

2012 Tutorial: Markets for Differentiated Electric Power ProductsSean Meyn
ACC 2012 Tutorial
http://accworkshop12.mit.edu
The talk will review the many services needed in today's grid, and those that will be more important in the future. It will also review recent competitive equilibrium theory for the highly dynamic markets that may emerge in tomorrow's grid. In particular, to combat volatility from increasing penetration of renewable energy resources, there will be greater need for regulation services at various time-scales. There is enormous potential to secure these ancillary services via demand response. However, there is an obsession today with the promotion of real time prices to incentivize demand response. All evidence strongly suggests that this is a bad idea: 1) In 2011, massive price swings in the real-time market generated anger in Texas and New Zealand 2) Our own research shows that this is to be expected: in a completive equilibrium real-time prices will reach the choke up price (which was recently estimated at 1/4 million dollars). With transmission constraints, our research concludes that prices can go much higher. 3) A recent EIA study shows that consumers are scared of smart meters - they do not trust utility companies to experiment with their meters, or their power bills. We must then ask, is there any motivation to focus on markets in a real-time setting? The speaker believes there is none. Explanations will be given, and alternative visions will be proposed.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

– Close connections between Industry, Research &
Education.
• Ex : SolarDecathlon Canopea Project.
– Close connections with politics : Links between the City &
the CEA impact
• A strategic vision :
– A focus on three social stakes : ICT, Health & Energy
– Institutionnal Entrepreneurs & Political sponsorship
• A good location too !
– Close to Downtown,
– Close to the Alps
– Quality of life…
> 50
52. Recommandations
• Political & strategic vision for our civilization.
– A collective strategy with citizens, locally and at national and regional level (EU / KIC
InnoEnergy)
• Political stability & regulation
– « Do you want to know what keeps me up at night? Not my programmers. Not my
investors. Not my health care costs. It’s state regulators »
CEO of Smart Grid Leading firm. In Peter Fox-Penner, Smart Power.
Climate Change, the Smart Grid, and the Future of Electric Utilities
• Start with University Campus.
– Develop Living Labs.
– Learn & Build up on experiments & R&D
• Crossing the Chasm (G.Moore) Niche strategy.
• Involve the « Prosumer »
– from energy consumer to > e-aware >
e-manager > energy partner
– Develop Living Labs.
53. Conclusion
• The « Smart Gird » & the « Smart City » are not
« markets » with « customers ».
• They are « Political Choices » and « Policies », with
« Citizens »,…
… that will have to pay, for these infrastructures.
– It will be too difficult to build it on individual choices and
consummer needs.
– It will be fixed by laws and regulations, taxes & incentives.
• But it should be fun and attractive !
