OPAL-RT RT14 Conference: Real-time simulator for power system studiesOPAL-RT TECHNOLOGIES
Using a Real Time Simulator for Power System Studies on Distribution Systems Operating Under a Large Penetration of Embedded Generation, McGill University and OPAL-RT
Streetlight poles and luminaires are ideal hosts for connecting sensors. They provide fine-grained information about the urban environment, and are used to provide adaptive lighting but also feed into many municipal systems and departments. Examples include minute-by-minute traffic analytics or street-by-street air quality monitoring.
But if street lighting is to become the catalyst for “smart city” applications, lighting professionals need to understand when to harness sensor data, and when to consider application data or predictive “big data”. The world is changing and we need to take a wider view. Keith will focus on deployed use cases to help to make sense of the practical and economic implications of these important developments.

DC4Cities project has been presented by Jordi Guijarro, trials leader, at Datacenter Dynamics CONVERGED Madrid 2015, a congress where operators and managers of data center infrastructure and IT strategy meet to exchange specialized knowledge on data centers.
In particular, Jordi has presented the state and main goals of DC4Cities, as well as the extent to which the project aims at using data centers for energy optimization within and outside the smart city, reducing energy consumption and emissions.
Schneider Electric CEO, Jean-Pascal Tricoire introduces Schneider innovation at every level redefining power and automation for a new world of energy which is more electric, decarbonized, decentralized and digitized ensuring Life Is On everywhere, for everyone and at every moment.
Data Center Market and Technology Trends Power Electronics presentation held ...Yole Developpement
To supply the IT equipment with a power of 60 kW, at least 150 kW are required.
Virtually, every watt expended in a server room in terms of processing power, power supplies, lighting, etc. is turned into heat
In 2015, Data Center power needs represent 1.62%of worldwide production. In 2020, it will be 1.9%.
In 2014 an estimated 350TWhwere consumed by data centers. It is 100TWh more than in 2010.
In 2014, around $143B was invested worldwide in new data center projects.
Content and application providers alone invest $40B annually into networks, facilities, and equipment - majority of that to hosting infrastructure.
60 new large data centers (>3,000 square meters) are expected in Western Europe by 2020
First SiCbased UPS for a datacenter has been recently launched by Toshiba (2015).

Energy proportionality is the key in order to reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of Warehouse Scale Computer (WSC) systems, yet is difficult to achieve in practice. Typical WSC hardware usually does not meet this principle. Furthermore, critical services (e.g. billing) require all servers to remain up regardless the current traffic intensity. These two issues make existing power management technique ineffective at reducing energy use in a WSC dimension. We present Hybrid Performance-aware Power-capping Orchestrator (HyPPO), a distributed Observe Decide Act (ODA) control loop for optimizing energy proportionality of a distribute containerized infrastructures. This first version of HyPPO uses Kubernetes resource metrics (e.g. milli-cpus consumption) in order to dynamically adjust node power consumption, while respecting the Service Level Agreement (SLA) agreement defined by the containerized application owners.
Show and Tell - Data and Digitalisation, Digital Twins.pdfSIFOfgem
This is the third in a series of 'Show and Tell' webinars from the Ofgem Strategic Innovation Fund Discovery phase, covering the Digital Twin projects.
As the move towards a net zero energy system accelerates, network customers and consumers will require simplified and accessible digital products, processes and services that can improve their user experience. Data and digital initiatives are already beginning to show the potential to improve the efficiency of energy networks whilst making it easier for third parties to interact with and innovate for the energy system. Digitalisation of energy network activities will contribute to better coordination, planning and network optimisation.
You will hear from SIF projects which are investigating new digital products and services such as digital twins.
The Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) is an Ofgem programme managed in partnership with Innovate UK, part of UKRI. The SIF aims to fund network innovation that will contribute to achieving Net Zero rapidly and at lowest cost to consumers, and help transform the UK into the ‘Silicon Valley’ of energy, making it the best place for high-potential businesses to grow and scale in the energy market.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd
Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.
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!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
