5th LF Energy Power Grid Model Meet-up SlidesDanBrown980551
5th Power Grid Model Meet-up
It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

47. CONCLUSION:
APPLE’S CHINA SERVICES ECOSYSTEM IS VERY WEAK WHEN COMPARED WITH
OTHER MAJOR MARKETS. THEY HAVE CONSISTENTLY FAILED TO LOCALIZE THEIR
OFFERINGS TO LOCAL TASTES.
2 SERVICES (ITUNES, IBOOKS) HAVE BEEN OUTRIGHT BLOCKED, MOSTLY LIKELY
DUE TO INABILITY OR UNWILLINGNESS TO MEET LOCAL GOVERNMENT
REQUIREMENTS. THE DATA SHOWS THAT NEITHER OF THESE SERVICES HAD ANY
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE LOCAL MARKET DURING THEIR TIMES OF
OPERATION.
THE SINGLE BRIGHT SPOT SEEMS TO BE IN APP PURCHASE REVENUE FROM APPS
DOWNLOADED THROUGH THE APP STORE.
IT’S CLEAR THAT A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION OF APPLE’S STRONG CHINA
SERVICE GROWTH IN 2017 IS BEING DRIVEN BY TENCENT’S MOBILE GAMES SUCH
AS THE SMASH HIT TITLE ‘HONOR OF KINGS’.

APPLE DISALLOWED WECHAT TO CONTINUE USING THE FEATURE
THROUGH WECHAT PAY, INSISTING THE REWARD SHOULD GO

61. CHINACHANNEL.CO

AFTER WECHAT’S ANNOUNCEMENT TO DISABLE THE REWARD FEATURE FOR
IOS USERS, CONTENT CREATORS SIMPLY SWITCHED TO USING QR CODES TO
GET AROUND PAYING THE 30% TO APPLE.
63. CHINACHANNEL.CO
APPLE ESSENTIALLY SHOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT
1. IT MADE THEM LOOK GREEDY.
2. THEY PISSED OFF THOUSANDS OF INFLUENTIAL

AVOID USING IAP.

71. CONCLUSION:
APPLE HAS BLUNDERED RECENTLY AND DAMAGED THEIR IMAGE IN CHINA.
THE MOVE TO BLOCK REWARD FEATURES REVEALED THEM TO BE OUT OF
TOUCH WITH THE LOCAL MARKET. APPLE’S OFFICIAL RESPONSES TO
CRITICISM WERE POOR.
CHINESE USERS ARE FAR MORE LOYAL TO LOCAL PRODUCTS SUCH AS
WECHAT THAN APPLE. WECHAT IS CONTINUING TO EXPAND BEYOND
MESSAGING INTO DIRECTIONS THAT IN THE LONG TERM MAY POTENTIALLY
PLACE IT INTO COMPETITION WITH THE APP STORE.

108. CONCLUSION:
APPLE IS UNQUESTIONABLY DOING VERY WELL GLOBALLY BUT CHINA POSES A TOTALLY
DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT. CHINESE SEE THE IPHONE AS A LUXURY PHONE RATHER THAN
AN ECOSYSTEM, WHICH MAKES IT MUCH HARDER TO LOCK THEM IN. THIS IS REFLECTED IN
POOR CHINA IPHONE RETENTION RATES.
APPLE’S SERVICES ECOSYSTEM IS WEAK WITH REVENUE GROWTH MOSTLY BEING DRIVEN BY
A 30% CUT FROM IN APP MOBILE GAME PURCHASES THAT ARE DEVELOPED BY LOCAL
PLAYERS SUCH AS TENCENT.
THE PERCEPTION OF APPLE’S BRAND IS SHIFTING, THEY ARE INCREASINGLY BEING
PERCEIVED AS ANTI-INNOVATORS: A COMPANY ABUSING THEIR PRIVILEGED POSITION OF
POWER TO BULLY OTHERS.
LOCAL SMART PHONE BRANDS ARE CLOSING THE GAP THROUGH BETTER AND BETTER
HARDWARE TOGETHER WITH EXCEPTIONALLY STRONG MARKETING AND SALES.
WE CAN STILL FORESEE A SALES SURGE ON THE RELEASE OF THIS YEAR’S HOTLY
ANTICIPATED NEW ANNIVERSARY IPHONE. HOWEVER, IF THIS HARDWARE CENTRIC
BUSINESS PATTERN DOESN’T CHANGE, CONTINUED TURBULENCE IN CHINA FOR APPLE IS A
CERTAINTY. MUCH DEEPER LOCALIZATION OF FEATURES IS A MUST FOR APPLE TO COMPETE.
