Développement de la cogénération en europeCOGEN Europe
Presentation by COGEN Europe on the development of cogeneration and micro-cogeneration in Europe at Journée de la micro et mini-cogénération ATEE in Paris
The EU must decide as soon as possible on an energy and climate policy framework for 2030. This is so investors continue to invest, wind energy continues to grow and deliver all its benefits, and the EU can meet its greenhouse gas reduction commitments of 80-95% by 2050 in the most cost-efficient way.
Access to energy is at the heart of the economic development of any country. This slide shows the fundamental differences between renewable and non-renewable energy sources. To cope with climate change and to guarantee the planet survival, the world needs to take urgent action. In this scenario, solar energy is leading the energy shift. Furthermore, with declining investments cost, producing solar electricity for the purpose of self-consumption is on the rise. A solar self- consumption installation uses the PV electricity generated on-site to meet the energy needs of the consumer while minimizing or excluding the use of electricity from the utility grid.
At the scale of a town district, a community solar self-consumption project is not only possible technically and legally, but also financially viable today.
In this article, we will discuss ‘allocation keys’ to break down the energy produced between the various participating consumers in order to obtain the desired balance between redistribution of benefits to those who truly consume solar energy and profitability for the investor.

This webinar is dedicated to the findings of the 3rd issue of the PV Grid Parity Monitor for Residential Consumers.
The Photovoltaic Grid Parity Monitor analyses PV competitiveness with retail electricity prices for residential consumers and assesses local regulation for self-consumption of 21 cities in 12 countries (Australia, Brazil, Chile, France, Germany, Italy, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Spain, UK, USA).
It is based on a rigorous and transparent methodology and has used real and updated data provided by local PV installers, local PV associations and other reliable players from the PV industry. A specific and in-depth analysis of retail electricity rates for each of the 21 cities is included.
Given that PV Grid Parity represents a unique opportunity to develop a local and sustainable power generation technology in a cost-effective way, this Monitor aims at giving benchmark elements and good practice models to foster the development of this technology.

Promoting an EU Agenda for Electromagnetic Processing of MaterialsLeonardo ENERGY
Electromagnetic processing (EP) is an umbrella term for industrial process heating systems that use electricity instead of combustible energy carriers.
EP technologies use wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum to heat mediums instead of heating the air in a furnace by combusting fossil fuels.
Application is possible in manufacturing subsectors, including energy-intensive production of chemicals, paper, iron & steel as well as of glass, pottery & building material
EP technologies include:
Direct & indirect resistance heating
Infrared heating
Induction heating
Dielectric heating
Electric arc heating
Electron-beam heating
Combined, these 6 technologies provide a market potential to electrify about a third of fossil energy used in industry for process heating. In this short report developed by Ecofys, an agenda is proposed including 9 measures that could be used to promote EP technologies in the European Union.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
