The document discusses distributed generation projects for public agencies. It provides an overview of the Center for Sustainable Energy California (CCSE), which helps public agencies implement clean energy projects. CCSE has worked with over 50 public agencies on distributed generation projects. The document outlines the complex financial and technical analysis required to properly evaluate distributed generation projects and argues that independent, third-party consultants lower project risks for agencies by conducting unbiased assessments.
The document discusses a proposal submitted to the Self-Generation Incentive Program Working Group to add Advanced Energy Storage (AES) technologies as an eligible technology for incentives under the program. AES technologies can store and dispatch large amounts of energy on demand. Vanadium redox battery energy storage systems were highlighted as an example AES technology. Some members of the working group recommended not including AES due to the technologies not meeting the definition of self-generation, while other members recommended including AES due to the potential benefits to utilities and customers from load reduction and peak shaving capabilities. The document provides rationale from both perspectives.

(Structural) Feature Interactions for Variability-Intensive Systems Testing Gilles Perrouin
Presentation given in the "short talks" session in the Dagstuhl seminar 14281 on "Feature Interactions - the Next Generation" , Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany, July 2014.
This document summarizes several use cases for customer-sited distributed energy storage in California. It describes how energy storage could be used to manage customer bills, allow market participation, and provide utility control. Key uses include reducing peak demand and energy costs for customers and helping utilities manage intermittent renewable generation and distribution grid operations. Policy changes around incentives, rates, and demand response programs could encourage more coordinated use of energy storage by both customers and utilities.

A high-resolution 3D seismic velocity model of the 2010 Mw 8.8 Maule, Chile e...Stephen Hicks
Knowledge of the spatial distribution of seismic properties within an earthquake rupture zone is essential to our understanding of rupture mechanics. Following the Maule earthquake, there was an international collaborative effort to deploy a dense network of seismic instruments in order to record the aftershock sequence; this means a large dataset is available to perform seismic velocity tomography in the area of the rupture zone. Since most co-seismic slip occurred in the offshore region, it is important to interpret the velocity structure of the marine forearc and the underlying oceanic crust. However, since many aftershocks are located offshore, and thus outside of the land network, both the offshore velocity structure and the location of these aftershocks are inherently poorly resolved. During the period July - December 2010, The National Taiwan Ocean University and The University of Liverpool each deployed ocean-bottom seismometer (OBS) networks in the northern and southern ends of the rupture zone, respectively, comprising a total of 43 stations. We use a catalogue of ~500 seismic events recorded at both land and OBS stations, containing ~60000 hand-picked P- and S-wave travel-times. We use a staggered 1D inversion scheme, which initially incorporates a separate velocity model for the marine forearc in order to form better hypocentral locations for the offshore events. Based on previous estimates for slab geometry, we find that the location of offshore seismicity is more tightly constrained along and above the interface. Taking these improved locations into account, we then re-invert for a new 1D model with station corrections. We present a 3D local earthquake tomography model based on manually-picked arrival times. The incorporation of OBS picks into the inversion elucidates better both the up-dip geometry of the subducting plate and the structure of the marine forearc. Beneath the low vp marine forearc (vp < 6.0 km/s), at depths of 7-15 km, we infer the presence of a high velocity structure (vp > 7.0 km/s); the upper interface of which dips at 10-15°, interpreted as the top of the downgoing oceanic crust. These first-order features are in accordance with results from previous active source studies in the region. We continue to analyse the nature and geometry of velocity anomalies along and around the megathrust, and their relation to rupture models and aftershock distribution.

Most people blink every 2-10 seconds, closing their eyes for 0.3 seconds each time which means eyes are closed for 30 minutes a day from blinking. Owls can see mice moving over 150 feet away with light no brighter than a candle. Cats and dogs eyes glow at night because of silver mirrors in the back of their eyes called the tapetum which helps them see better at night.
Anatomy of a Megathrust Earthquake Rupture - The 2010 M8.8 Chile QuakeStephen Hicks

Abstract: In February 2010, a magnitude 8.8 megathrust earthquake struck the Maule region of Central Chile - the sixth largest earthquake ever recorded. It is fast becoming one of the best-studied megathrust ruptures, allowing us a unique insight into the inner workings of subduction zone earthquakes. In the earthquake’s immediate aftermath, an international group of research institutions deployed geophysical instruments in the rupture area. A network of ~160 seismic stations on the forearc recorded over 50,000 aftershocks in the first 10 months following the earthquake.
I have used observations of P- and S-waves from aftershocks to derive a high-resolution seismic travel-time tomography of the rupture zone. Observations from ocean-bottom seismometers further improve image sharpness in the offshore portion of the seismogenic zone, where most slip occurred during the earthquake. The tomographic images reveal the distribution of P-wave velocity and Poisson’s Ratio within the earthquake rupture zone. Based on accurate aftershock locations and moment tensors, I have defined a new 3-D plate interface geometry to infer the physical structure and composition along the plate interface. I compare these velocities with the mainly geodetically observed behaviour of the fault throughout a cycle of seismic behaviour (preseismic locking, coseismic slip, postseismic deformation). This comparison allows us to understand some of the physical properties that may govern seismogenesis along the megathrust. I will reveal how both the long-lived geological structure of the forearc and the composition of the subducting oceanic plate may influence the rupture behaviour of large megathrust earthquakes. An understanding of seismic velocities along the megathrust may therefore be used to constrain the seismogenic potential of subduction zones worldwide.

The document discusses the 2015 M7.8 Nepal earthquake. It was the largest earthquake in Nepal in over 80 years and caused around 8,000 fatalities due to strong shaking and secondary effects like landslides. The earthquake occurred along the collision zone between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. Analysis of seismic and satellite data provided insights into the earthquake's effects, aftershocks, and rupture process, but further research is still needed to fully understand the regional seismic hazard in this area of high seismic activity.
