Future energy markets: how and where?
Renewables are increasing significantly in Finland and across the Nordic grid. This presents challenges for balancing supply and demand as well as transmission system operations. To address this, Finland is investing in new transmission lines from northern wind power resources to the south. A new "Coast-line" transmission connection was recently completed, enabling over 3000 MW of additional wind power while strengthening the grid. Further grid investments are needed to integrate new nuclear and renewable projects while maintaining a stable, secure electricity system across the Nordic countries in coming decades.

How to Prepare for the Next Big Thing – StorageEMEX
Storage will be deployed in the next few years to meet different objectives. Whether the company needs security of supply, cost control or reducing the environmental impact. Storage will be seen as the answer.
This seminar will focus on what is coming down the line and what knowledge and skills will be needed to incorporate storage into your business.
This document proposes funding the development of a Caspian Energy Grid through a prepay energy credit system and energy loans. It would connect energy generation and transmission infrastructure across the Caspian region to improve efficiency. Currently infrastructure is fragmented, inefficient, and wastes carbon fuels. The proposal suggests upgrading legacy systems and building new high-voltage direct current connections. This would allow countries like Turkmenistan to export excess power. Investors could provide funding by buying discounted prepay energy credits or lending through energy loans repaid in energy units. A pilot project called KAT Core involving Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan is presented as a proof of concept.
The decentralization of the energy system and increased use of renewables is creating opportunities and challenges for industrial and commercial customers to meet net zero targets. Digital platforms will be important to match customer demand with intermittent renewable supply and provide solutions across energy supply, ancillary services, capacity markets, and carbon offsetting. Rising carbon costs are increasing pressure on industrial groups to offset emissions, elevating energy procurement to board level decision making. Integrated technology-enabled platforms are needed to manage this complexity and deliver customer-centric physical and financial net zero solutions.
Bob Smith Platts June 18 2014 Transmission Planning DevelopmentRobert Smith
Bob Smith discussed resource adequacy and transmission planning at APS. He outlined that (1) APS must plan for peak demand increases while integrating more renewable energy and customer resources, (2) their generation fleet and transmission system need to evolve to accommodate changing supply and demand patterns from more intermittent resources and customer solar, and (3) modernizing generators like new combustion turbines at Ocotillo and investing in grid technologies will provide flexibility to integrate renewables and maintain reliability.

This document summarizes the perspectives and issues around UK energy policy according to an expert in three timeframes:
1) Short term - Issues include capacity, nuclear decisions like Hinkley Point, and the effects of Brexit. The system involves many interventions.
2) Medium term - Fossil fuel prices and climate policy will be key factors. Oil prices may return to normal levels from current lows. Electricity demand is expected to grow.
3) Long term - Technology changes will dominate, like digitalization, zero marginal cost electricity, and electric vehicles. The system will transition to one dominated by low carbon electricity and decentralized generation. Rethinking energy, climate and market policies is needed for this transformation.

GRID FLEXIBILITY: an antidote to relieve pain in a changing energy systemIRIS Smart Cities
This webinar discusses grid flexibility as an antidote to relieve pain in the changing energy system. It summarizes that increasing renewable energy production and electrification of demand will lead to mismatches between energy production and demand that can cause congestion issues on the grid. Flexibility options like storage, demand response, and flexible pricing can help mitigate this. The webinar then discusses a pilot project in Utrecht that uses the Universal Smart Energy Framework to regulate storage capacity and reduce solar energy production peaks that could cause congestion, demonstrating how flexibility can relieve pain in the energy system. It concludes that lessons from the pilot will be applied to further projects to integrate renewables while maintaining grid stability.
The document discusses the future power system and the challenges and opportunities it presents. It makes three key points:
1) The future energy system will be based on electricity generated from a variety of renewable and alternative energy sources to help address environmental problems. This will require a stronger transmission grid.
2) As more renewable energy is added, transmission system operators will need new operational tools to ensure a secure supply of electricity to all customers. This includes building transmission lines and using energy markets.
3) Significant investments totaling at least 50 billion Norwegian krone will be needed by 2030 to build a robust transmission grid in Norway that can accommodate more renewable energy on the system and allow for tighter cooperation between Nordic transmission system
Ultranet is a joint project between Amprion GmbH, TransnetBW GmbH, and Siemens AG to supply converters for grid expansion in Germany.

Case Study: Ensuring Security of Supply Through FlexibilityEMEX
Brexit poses many risks to solving the energy trilemma and has created even more uncertainty about what our future energy mix will look like. However, the benefits of flexibility and the role it has to play in balancing the grid is already very clear, and growth in this area will continue despite wider market volatility.
As this flexibility becomes crucial to maintaining security of supply, it is incumbent on big businesses to do their part and be more responsible in managing their energy consumption. Companies will differ in how they can reduce demand and shift consumption out of peak times, but there will be direct benefits for the businesses that embrace it – both savings on energy bills and additional financial incentives for supporting the grid.
In this session we will cover some of the schemes available for consumers with dynamic energy consumption, and the benefits of working with a supplier to integrate flexibility with procurement to ensure the best possible returns.
The document summarizes UK Power Networks' Smarter Network Storage project. UK Power Networks operates electricity distribution networks serving a quarter of the UK population. The project involves installing a 6MW/10MWh lithium-ion battery storage system in Leighton Buzzard to demonstrate multiple uses of large-scale energy storage and develop business models for storage. The goals are to assess storage applications across the distribution system, quantify potential business models, and develop optimization and control systems to dispatch the battery for multiple services simultaneously. A smart optimization and control system will manage the battery for services like system balancing, congestion relief, and trading on the wholesale market. The project will trial these storage services over four years and analyze the regulatory and commercial
The document discusses the challenges of integrating renewable energy sources into the electric grid. As renewable energy production increases, challenges arise regarding transporting large amounts of energy over long distances from decentralized sources, as well as the inherent volatility of renewable supplies. Technologies such as high voltage DC transmission, energy storage solutions, demand side flexibility through smart grids, and wide area monitoring and control systems can help address these issues and enable renewable energy to become the backbone of the electric grid. However, technology alone is not enough - standards, regulations, and changes in social perspectives are also needed to fully integrate renewables.

It notes that renewable energy sources like solar power are becoming cheaper but also more intermittent, creating challenges around reliability. CHP plants could help address this by participating in electricity reserve markets that compensate plants for being available to increase or decrease production on short notice. The document presents a case study that simulated an actual CHP plant's revenues from 2015-2016 and found it would have earned 15-20% higher annual profits by participating in these reserve markets. This suggests CHP plants are well-positioned to play a role in ensuring energy system reliability in the future.

The document summarizes the views of Nordic energy regulators on the future of the Nordic electricity markets. It discusses NordREG, an organization of Nordic energy regulators that promotes efficient energy markets. The regulators are committed to a vision of highly competitive, innovative markets that enable consumers and new players to contribute to the energy transition. Three strategic principles are price signals, active consumers, and a dynamic regulatory framework. The regulators also aim to further integrate networks and harmonize electricity market rules in line with EU targets of carbon neutrality by 2050.

Fingrid Oyj CEO Jukka Ruusunen discusses the development of cross-border electricity connections between Nordic and Baltic countries from 1993 to present. Starting with Norway in 1993, Sweden in 1996, and Finland in 1998, cross-border connections expanded to include Denmark in 1999 and 2000, Germany in 2000 and 2005, Estonia and Poland in 2010, Lithuania in 2012, and Latvia in 2013. The third energy package in 2009 and the clean energy package in 2019 have further strengthened cooperation between European countries.
The document discusses the role of electricity grids in enabling the energy transition to renewable energy sources like wind power. It notes that grids provide physical access to electricity markets, allowing for larger market areas and more competition. However, grids can also become bottlenecks if not upgraded. The document outlines plans for upgrades to Nordic electricity grids to handle increasing wind power, including replacing cross-border connections from Finland. It envisions electricity systems becoming part of integrated energy systems and notes that significant grid upgrades are still required for both physical infrastructure and market operations software to achieve this vision.
This document discusses Fingrid's efforts to promote occupational safety for all stakeholders engaged in work on its electricity grid. It outlines Fingrid's mission and statistics on its grid infrastructure. Fingrid works to ensure a safe working environment through risk assessments, safety training, investigations of accidents/near misses, communication of safety issues, and collaboration with suppliers. It emphasizes that safety is the top priority for all activities and the goal is zero accidents.

CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC OUTREACH IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES AND FUTURE PROSPECTjpsjournal1
The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.
Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.
The CBC machine is a common diagnostic tool used by doctors to measure a patient's red blood cell count, white blood cell count and platelet count. The machine uses a small sample of the patient's blood, which is then placed into special tubes and analyzed. The results of the analysis are then displayed on a screen for the doctor to review. The CBC machine is an important tool for diagnosing various conditions, such as anemia, infection and leukemia. It can also help to monitor a patient's response to treatment.
