John Dalton of Power Advisory LLC presented at the 7th Annual Atlantic Canada Power Summit on opportunities in the New England power market. The presentation covered:
1) The Maritime electricity market has limited need for new capacity until 2015 but opportunities exist to export renewable energy to meet New England's growing renewable portfolio standards.
2) While the New England energy market price is influenced by low natural gas prices, renewable energy prices are supported by renewable energy certificates and policies promoting low-carbon generation.
3) With transmission constraints limiting local renewable development and strong renewable energy demand driven by policies, there is potential for Maritime renewable exports to the New England market.
A new report just issued by the New England Coalition for Affordable Energy says New England is at a much greater risk for higher energy costs in the short-term because of lack of new pipelines.

The ScottMadden Energy Industry Update – August 2014ScottMadden, Inc.
We are pleased to announce our Summer 2014 issue of the ScottMadden Energy Industry Update. This semi-annual publication offers our view of major events and emerging trends in the energy industry.
The energy and utility industries continue to anticipate and react to potential fundamental shifts in the 100+ year-old model of investment, regulation, and earnings. Policy and regulatory changes are big factors driving the design of the new landscape. For many of these changes, significant investment in existing and new infrastructure is needed across all parts of the energy value chain. And by the way, load growth is no longer, so investment and cost recovery are uncertain. Themed “I Feel the Earth Move under My Feet,” this issue surveys a broad array of strategic issues.

Remaking American Power - CSIS & Rhodium Group Preliminary Findings of EPA's ...Marcellus Drilling News
On June 2 the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced it's "kill coal" campaign which they dubbed the Clean Power Plan or CPP. Researchers at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and the Rhodium Group, both research organizations, combined forces to take a close look at how they believe the CPP will fundamentally change American power generation. These are their preliminary findings.
Remarks by ISO New England CEO Gordon van Welie on the role of natural gas and pipelines for that gas and their importance to the electricity market in New England.
In mid-2015, the Large-scale Renewable Energy Target (LRET) was reduced from 41,000 gigawatt-hours (GWh) to 33,000 GWh by 2020. The positive for the industry was that the amended legislation ended almost two years of uncertainty and frozen investment. The amendment also removed the provision for a review of the scheme every two years, locking in certainty for the rest of the decade. While 2015 was a tough year, it ended with much optimism. According to analysis by the Clean Energy Council and ROAM Consulting (now part of EY) , the revised target is expected to create more than $10 billion worth of investment and more than 6500 new jobs in large-scale renewable energy alone. Including the economic benefits from the small-scale scheme, the total benefit expected is $40.4 billion worth of investment and 15,200 jobs.

The fleet of resources that produces U.S. electricity is still dominated by coal-fired generation. Natural gas electricity generation brings more price volatility to electric rates. Retail electricity prices continue on an upward trend.

Investing in renewable energy: ‘pro et contra’Nikita Larionov
This presentation was prepared and demonstrated 26th April 2013 by Tetyana Borsey, Nikita Larionov, Kenneth White, and Xinyi Zheng
Its main objective was providing an overview of the UK renewable energy industry and advice on the prospects of investing in excess £10 million in this industry.
Changes to the generation portfolio, the introduction of significant renewable resources, and the deployment of customer-side resources are fundamentally changing the way electricity is produced and delivered to customers. These changes are having a significant impact on the developments and operation of the transmission system and are occurring in an environment of decreasing demand growth which impacts utility revenues and puts pressure on rates. This presentation will examine how they will impact the amount and location of transmission needed, the rates that can be charged for it, and its relative value in a utility’s portfolio assets.

U.S. Department of State, Office of International Information Programs Confer...Alliance To Save Energy
In his presentation, Castelli addresses The Role of Energy Efficiency in Energy Security and Climate Change. Taking into consideration the global energy concerns and the increasinly volatile geopolitical landscape, there is a great need to improve energy intensity across the world. Energy efficiency - which is at the nexus of economic objectives, energy security & foreign policy objectives, and environmental objectives - offers a great opportunity to achieve this. Castelli discussed the roles that the public and private sectors must play to sieze this potential in Russia and former Soviet Union countries. In this area of the world, he said, energy efficiency can significantly reduce consumer energy consumption, particularly in home heating.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
