2. It summarizes that wind is currently the cheapest form of renewable electricity generation, though costs for other technologies are declining as well.
3. Small-scale systems are poised to revolutionize the electricity generation system beyond just solar, moving away from large-scale utilities.
Community energy
This document discusses community benefits from renewable energy projects in Wales. It notes that balancing local and regional needs is important when determining community benefit funds. Examples are given of potential annual funds from onshore wind projects of £620,000 and offshore wind projects ranging from £2,000 per MW for smaller projects up to £6,000 per MW for larger ones. Scotland is highlighted as leading the way in establishing long-term community benefit funds from renewable energy through mechanisms like local trusts. The document concludes that close collaboration between stakeholders and continued progress is needed to maximize community benefits from renewable energy development.
Leveling the playing field - the economics of electricity generation in Europe
This document provides an economic assessment of electricity generation costs in Europe. It calculates an 'Extended Levelised Cost of Electricity' (eLCOE) that includes externalities for various technologies. Onshore wind has the lowest eLCOE cost. The analysis finds external costs are significant for conventional generation. It performs a sensitivity analysis considering 'renewable friendly' and 'conventional friendly' scenarios. The document reviews methodology, results from existing studies, and estimates balancing costs, CO2 impacts, and electricity costs by technology in 2020. It aims to provide more complete information on external costs to help inform energy policy decisions.
Offshore wind planning and environmental impact
An introduction to offshore wind for the undergraduate course on renewable energy law at Aarhus University, Denmark
Marine Energy
This document discusses the growth of offshore wind infrastructure in coastal zones and the interactions between wind infrastructure and other ocean uses like shipping and pipelines. It references several reports on topics like the spatial planning of offshore wind farms, European oil infrastructure and shipping routes, and projections that forecast a large increase in offshore wind and shipping of oil/gas as domestic fossil fuel production declines. Contact information is provided for further discussion.
Biomass to power
This document discusses biomass as a source of electricity in the European Union. It notes that biomass currently accounts for 7.4% of electricity production on average across EU members. The document addresses some challenges with biomass electricity including its relatively low energy density compared to other renewable sources as well as potential competition with food production and biodiversity for land use. It calls for sustainability criteria to guide the industry's growth and challenges relying on potentially inefficient biomass technologies.
Hydro potential in Europe
The document discusses a study by the European Environment Agency (EEA) on the environmental potential for hydroelectric power in Europe. The study analyzed data from the EEA's ECRINS database to determine the technical and environmental potential for hydro, with environmental potential defined as using 0.33 of mean river flow at a capacity factor of 70%. The data was incomplete but improving, and the EEA may revisit their analysis next year with better proxy information to refine their estimates.
Jan 2011 - How does the UK NREAP stack up to other European countries?
The UK has set renewable energy targets to source 21% of its energy from renewables by 2010, 33% by 2015, and 30% by 2020. While the UK has ambitious goals for wind capacity growth and marine renewable development, it lags behind several other European countries in current renewable energy usage per capita, and will need to emphasize the development of solar, heat pumps, and transport alternatives to meet its future targets.

This short document discusses a viral YouTube video from EEA that promotes learning while eating by working smarter instead of harder. The document references the video's URL but is otherwise difficult to understand due to formatting issues and missing words or letters in the text.
2010 - Environmental impacts of hydropower
This document discusses hydroelectric power potential in Europe. It summarizes that a study by the European Environment Agency (EEA) found the technical potential for hydroelectric power is restricted, but the environmental potential is even more limited after accounting for environmental factors. The study used a database called ECRINS to analyze hydrological data and potential dam sites in catchments. It made assumptions about factors like water flow rates, plant efficiencies, costs, and environmental impacts to estimate potential. While the technical potential is limited, the document suggests focusing on innovating business models to adapt. It also notes that environmental protections like Article 4.7 must be maintained.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
