1. Demand response could provide flexibility to help balance the electricity system as renewable generation increases, but its implementation requires careful coordination. 2. As more renewable energy is added, the system will need more flexible supply and demand to balance forecast errors and output fluctuations. Demand response is well-suited to provide this flexibility if barriers can be overcome. 3. Coordination is needed for demand response to serve multiple purposes for transmission system operators, distribution network operators, suppliers, and wind plant operators. Synergies and conflicts between these groups' demand for flexibility must be addressed.

FWP 2017 l Pierre PEYSSON, WPD Offshore France

Bluesign

This document discusses how to optimize the development and structuring of offshore wind farms (OWFs) in order to minimize costs. It examines different spatial planning and development processes used in Europe. The optimal process balances minimizing development risks and contingencies during the tender with efficient timelines between tender award and final investment decision. Processes that involve securing permits after the tender carry more risk, while those involving preliminary technical studies before the tender help reduce development timelines and costs. The document analyzes examples from France, the Netherlands, Denmark, and the UK to determine the most effective approach.

Robert Bolton

A case study in how to connect people and processes to deliver product and customer value, plus material and information flow. A holistic approach to improving flow in a complex mineral sand operation - Iluka South West Operations Robert is pioneer of the ToC approach in mining, oil and gas, capital infrastructure and financial markets. He has developed and implemented the Theory of Constraints (TOC) concepts in mining and resources capital planning and business execution business systems. This case study is the turnaround story at the Iluka South West operations in Capel WA. This operation is large and complex operation with 4 separate mining operations feeding a large process plant with many dependent process and common resources. The Throughput Focused Mining (TFM) approach improved the planning and execution processes to improve the product flow and operation performance. This turnaround was rapid. This operation achieved record production rates. Operational revenue increased significantly. The additional operating capacity released due to the “Mine to Market” initiative, led to the stopping of a significant capital project. This capital project was to increase operating capacity. The Theory of Constraints (ToC) concepts, simulations models and education tools, were key element s of this business system solution. Short-term planning and new scheduling methods was an element of this “Mine to Market” approach. This combined with collaboration in the form of weekly meeting, scheduling tools, common terminology and various discussion groups across the business teams, enabled the business transformation to be rapid and sustaining.

Synthetic biology may be able to create new transparent composite materials inspired by biology with enhanced properties for armor applications.

Beyond battery power: future autonomy

Defence and Security Accelerator

The document discusses the limitations of battery power for small autonomous robots and soldiers. While smaller robots are safer and more practical for defense applications, current battery technology only allows for an hour or two of operation, which is not enough. Batteries are also limited in their energy density and unlikely to improve much in the next 10-20 years. The document proposes potential alternative power solutions that could be explored, such as photovoltaic energy capture from flames, novel engine/generator combinations, or single-use power sources that last a day or two before recycling. It concludes that long-endurance power sources for smaller robots present an opportunity for defense applications if technical challenges can be addressed.

Beyond battery power - CDE themed competition part 2

Defence and Security Accelerator

The document discusses the limitations of battery power for small autonomous robots and soldiers. While small robots are attractive for defense applications like reconnaissance and patrolling, battery technology cannot provide enough energy density for more than an hour or two of operation. Fuel cells and generators are not feasible options at small scales either. However, the document suggests some potential solutions being explored, such as photovoltaic energy capture from flames, novel engine/generator combinations, or single-use power sources that could operate for a day before recycling. The goal is to develop alternative power sources that would enable the widespread use of smaller autonomous robots in defense applications.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024

Hiroshi SHIBATA

I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems. The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS. Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application. I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse

Federico Razzoli

Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you. A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services. But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts. We will discuss these topics: - How to gather information about a business; - Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities; - Dimensions and facts; - Setting a table granularity; - Types of facts; - Types of dimensions; - Snowflakes and how to avoid them; - Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
