This document provides guidelines for designing sustainable product-service systems (S.PSS) applied to distributed renewable energy (DRE) systems. It suggests 6 areas to focus on: 1) Optimizing DRE system configurations, 2) Complementing DRE offers with lifecycle services, 3) Offering ownerless DRE systems with full services, 4) Offering ownerless DRE systems as an enabling platform, 5) Adding ownerless energy-using products to DRE offers, and 6) Delinking payments from pure watt consumption to make costs more affordable. The overall aim is to provide sustainable energy access through optimized DRE system designs coupled with comprehensive lifecycle services.

PV/Diesel Hybrid System for Fuel Production from Waste Plastics RecyclingIJMER
The treatment of wastes has become one of the most important concerns of modern society.
Converting waste plastic into gasoline and diesel fuel through a highly effective low-cost pyrolysis
process is a promising technology. In this paper PV/Diesel/Battery hybrid system is suggested to fulfill
the load demand of waste plastic recycling pyrolysis process. A Mathematical and simulation models
using MATLAB/ SIMULINK software for the hybrid PV/Diesel/Battery system components have been
developed. Also, this paper presents a control strategy using Artificial Neural Network Controller
(NNC) technique for coordinating the power flow among the different components of the
PV/Diesel/Battery hybrid system. The results indicate that the proposed control unit using NNC can be
successfully used for controlling the power system for the waste plastic recycling pyrolysis process.

Flinders Island Isolated Power System (IPS) Connect 2016 T MAHMOUD Western Powerjames hamilton
The energy industry is rapidly evolving to take advantage of renewable resources and Western Power is embracing new technologies that will improve service and reliability to our customers. New and improving technologies such as solar, wind, wave and most importantly batteries are changing the way we think about the delivery and storage of electricity. One of these developments is the microgrid, which is essentially a small scale power grid that can operate independently (in ‘island mode’) or connect with the main electrical grid – think of a small suburb, or estate, that shares electricity and the cost of the infrastructure. A microgrid needs to control the flow of electricity of low or medium voltage, but does not need connection to a centralised generation or transmission network. Western Power has trialled the world’s first microgrid project that combines wave energy, solar (photovoltaic) energy, a desalination plant, and energy storage that connects to our large electricity network.
Thair demonstrates extensive engineering experience focused on power systems planning and real-time operation. This includes experience in load, generation and microgrids grid connection, renewable energies, transmission networks planning and stability. This experience is supported by his academic research at the University of Tasmania and Edith Cowan University, including invitation to review international journals and conferences in the field of Energy Systems and Artificial Intelligence. Thair has previously held roles with Canegie Wave Energy and Deng Kai.

NanoGrids for Home Application in a Power Cloud Framework Alessandro Burgio
Thanks to recent innovations driven by European Union and national policies, lately it has been possible to see the realization of effective renewable energy technologies, for both large and small-scale use, alongside considerable cost reductions for customers. As a result, businesses and households can increasingly produce and consume, some or all, their own electricity, either instantaneously or in a deferred manner through decentralized storage, behind the connection point with the grid (i.e. the meter). In such a way, it is possible to maximize self-consumption in order to increase their efficiency of energy use and reduce their exposure to electricity prices. In the paper, the use of the so-called Nanogrid for Home Application is proposed to achieve the result of the self-consumption maximization. Moreover, a framework of exchanging energy among Prosumers (Power Cloud) is illustrated to promote the use of Nanogrids for Home Applications.

How to Deploy Energy Storage Technology at the Enterprise Level – Case StudyEMEX
The financial justification for the roll out of battery based storage technology to large and medium sized companies is becoming increasingly compelling. Such systems will allow time shifting of demand enabling an enterprise to take advantage of low priced electricity as well as avoiding expensive electricity and surcharges during periods of high network usage. These benefits can be enjoyed by the enterprise without the need to resort to demand reduction which could impact on the operation of the business. This session focusses on the choices and options concerning the deployment of battery based storage systems and how this new technology can be cost effectively rolled out, at enterprise level, illustrated with some case studies of deployed systems.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
