The document discusses how electricity systems are changing from "stupid" centralized systems to "smart" decentralized systems. It outlines four stages: 1) the traditional centralized hierarchy; 2) the addition of demand response through aggregators; 3) fully activating demand through peer-to-peer trading and energy communities; and 4) regulators adapting to these changes. While initially wary of disruptions, regulators like Ofgem now recognize flexibility and platforms as key to the new interactive system and transactive energy future.

Webinar 3 | May-16 | Energy entrepreneurs: Business models for off-grid energ...Smart Villages
By Karl Kolmsee
"Business models for off-grid energy remain one of the most fascinating–and challenging–topics, particularly for entrepreneurs working in the developing world.
In this webinar, we will hear from several entrepreneurs who each have a unique approach to building a business while also making a social impact in India, East and West Africa, and South America. From energising clinics and schools to providing last mile micro-finance to creating hydro power and irrigation in remote communities, each speaker will tell a compelling story about their company’s business model. What has worked? And what hasn’t?
Our webinar series is a little different: each expert will speak for less than 10 minutes and will focus on their on-the-ground experience using photos to tell their story."

La Salle Campus Barcelona, Spain, 11-12 April 2013.
This presentation covers some of the main aspects of the current smart city discussions: definitions, market drivers, analyses and trends as well as best practice examples of what the concept of smart city means in practice. It examines the importance of using data and software to improve and optimise infrastructure (including lighting) performance. It also gives an overview of barriers and obstacles to smart city deployment, and offer some resources and links for further reading.
Talk by David Gillingham, GE Lighting
Every technology goes through a number of transformations during its lifetime. And this is true for the humble lamppost. In Europe there are some 60-90 million of them lining the streets of our cities. And more than 75% of them are 25 years or older. Now is their time: doing more with this modest city asset to ‘bootstrap’ smart city services presents a real and rapid opportunity. What then needs to be done?

Direct communication between IoT devices works without central control. The use of expensive gateways is therefore not a prerequisite for IoT. Gateways are inflexible, limited in scaling and an ideal target for hacker attacks. Lemonbeat has reached with this presentation that direct device communication is taken into account in future standard "Web of Things (WoT)". WoT also needs to consider future developments. For example, the self-learning mechanism in the edge area, shown in this lecture.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

How does electricity change?
• 1// To go “stupid”: still a
vertical supply hierarchy
but based on markets &
system operators
(B2B, B2C)
• 2// To be “smarter”:
creating a Demand Loop
with Aggregators, & Flexibility
Markets
(C2B, C2SO)
• 3// To become fully
“smart”?
fully activating Demand
(C2Pl, P2P)
and welcoming Communities…
• 4//Do Energy Regulators
join these last smart waves?
The case of Ofgem

5. FSR.EUI.EU
How electricity did change?
(1) Wholesale Supply Hierarchy
• a) Wholesale Market ranks generating plants in Day-
Ahead merit order
• b) TSO manages system & flows accordingly
>Adding its own grid congestion constraints
>And its central balancing needs
• c) All El.System is managed B2B: within the supply
central hierarchy
5
6. FSR.EUI.EU
How electricity did change?
(1) Wholesale Supply Hierarchy
• d) Retail Market is only retailing the Wholesale
Supply Hierarchy
B2C = (Market price and central merit order) + (System
congestion & central balancing)
“packaged”for retail-size units
via new digitalization tools as: smart metering, smart
grids, Balancing Responsible Parties, etc.
6
7. FSR.EUI.EU
How electricity did change?
(2) Demand Loop
• a) Aggregators create something new:
a C2B loop between retail-size units and wholesale
by packaging “demand activation” as a wholesale
tradable product
These new intermediaries aggregate retail via new
“digitalization” tools (roughly: digital control of retail-
size consumption units)
7
8. FSR.EUI.EU
How electricity did change?
(2) Demand Loop
• b) TSOs or DSOs can push C2B one step ahead: C2SO
Aggregators package “demand activation” for
wholesale market
System Operators package “demand activation” for
their own grid congestion & balancing needs
Combining 2 kinds of tools:*“Platform-like tools” to
trade with consumption units **“System Operator IT &
control tools” to guarantee system reliability
8
9. FSR.EUI.EU
How electricity did change?
(3) P2P & Communities
• a) One more step ahead into smartness
Aggregators package “demand activation” for
wholesale market: C2B
System Operators package “demand activation” for
system & grid needs: C2SO; if using Platforms: C2Pl
Platform is digital space providing: product definition,
trade partner search and matching, delivery process &
settlement
Platform can provide “double activation”: C2C alias P2P
9
10. FSR.EUI.EU
How electricity did change?
(3) P2P & Communities
• b) Peer-to-Peer is “double activation” via appropriate
digital tools
If both Demand & Supply have to be “activated”:
Both too small, having not enough size & professional
skills to trade in “for-pro” markets like B2B, B2C
“Double activation” (Sharing Economy) also eliminates
the need for intermediaries like aggregators being C2B
> Either Platforms as new intermediaries: P2 Pl 2P
> Or direct trade as “Blockchains in clubs”: P2 Block 2P
10
11. FSR.EUI.EU
How electricity did change?
(3) P2P & Communities
• c) Communities what are they?
Peer-To-Peer is “double activation” of individual units in
ad-hoc market frame
Communities is voluntary association of individual units
in a collective decision-making unit
Association breaks too small size, too little expertise
constraints the individuals have
Voluntary association permits collective supply,
investments, assets operation, demand management
11
12. FSR.EUI.EU
How electricity did change?
(3) P2P & Communities
• d) Loose Community: “Asset Fleet” Management
Individuals will have many management options open
by smart devices, smart homes, smart buildings, IoT
Tempting to be “De facto Community”: loose
community of users of asset fleets managed by Pro.
“Electrical Car Fleet”, with central Pro. charging App
“Zero-Net-Consumption Buildings”, being fully
autonomous mini-grid systems
12
13. FSR.EUI.EU
Could all electricity really change?
Ask the energy regulators?
• a) (CEER, 25 June 2019)
Not at ease with P2P & Communities, both seen
disruptive of existing wholesale market & central
system operation, grid universal access & consumers
protection
But…
13
15. FSR.EUI.EU
Could all electricity really change?
Ask the energy regulators?
• b) (Ofgem, 2 September 2019)
Fully acknowledges that
“Flexibility” issue is an entry in “new interactive
electricity system” where users’ assets activation (as
consumers or prosumers) is key
> “Platforms” are digital tools opening markets to P-2-P
