The smart grid - Supply and demand side equivalent solutionsSchneider Electric
With the smart grid comes new ways to solve old problems. We will compare and contrast the various ways to solve grid related problems then - the old way, and now - the smart grid way.
Eco-Mode: Benefits and Risks of Energy Saving Modes of UPS OperationSchneider Electric
Many newer UPS systems have an energy-saving operating mode known as "eco-mode" or by some other descriptor. Nevertheless, surveys show that virtually no data centers actually use this mode, because of the known or anticipated side-effects. Unfortunately, the marketing materials for these operating modes do not adequately explain the cost / benefit tradeoffs. This presentation shows that eco-mode provides a reduction of approximately 2% in data center energy consumption and explains the various limitations and concerns that arise from eco-mode use. Situations where these operating modes are recommended and contra-indicated are also described.

Funding Infrastructure Investments with Guaranteed PerformanceSchneider Electric
Municipalities are dealing with numerous financial constraints, and trying to improve or expand systems is often trumped by maintaining deteriorating assets. Discover the potential benefits of Performance Contracting (PC). PC is an alternate delivery method to the traditional CIP process for the implementation of operational cost saving and energy saving projects. While the PC process has been used extensively in municipal buildings for decades -- primarily for HVAC and lighting improvements -- it has only recently begun to be used by water and wastewater utilities for process-centric improvements to treatment plants, pump/lift stations and other assets.
Electric utilities are preparing for the multitude of challenges facing the industry — limited generation to supply increasing energy demand, growing regulatory and customer pressure for increased reliability and reduced carbon emissions, adoption of distributed renewable generation and energy storage, and the inevitability of both an aging workforce and infrastructure.
In a rather short period of time, these challenges have converged, and in doing so, have exposed the need for a comprehensive distribution network monitoring, analysis, and control system.
Utilities that are proactive — building business cases and deploying scalable solutions now — will be best prepared to meet the challenges of today and the future. To assist the industry in achieving their strategic Smart Grid goals, Schneider Electric proudly offers its Advanced Distribution Management
System (ADMS).

How Service-Oriented Drive Deployments improve VSD Driveline UptimeSchneider Electric
Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) have proliferated and are now installed in large numbers throughout various industries. However, since these technologies are relatively new, not much thought has been given to the proper integration of these drives, nor have their potential energy savings and business continuity entitlements been fully realized. This paper examines how the intelligence within VSDs can be leveraged to perform predictive maintenance so that plant uptime can improve.
Schneider Electric Services_Modernization and Upgrade Solutions.pptxSchneider Electric
When considering whether to replace or upgrade existing switch gear, there are a number of factors to consider.
• Operating environment • Availability of spare parts • Impact of downtime • Cost of ongoing maintenance • Need to increase fault or continuous current rating • Desire to upgrade to current technology
This slide explains the concept of Industrial Internet of Things. It covers IIot's present Market Landscape , IoT segments by IIoT, Ecosystem analysis, Major Drivers, Major challenges faced by Value chain players, Potential use cases along my analysis and recommendations on IIoT Technology and market landscape.
As presented during Hannover Messe 2014...When it comes to Industrial applications we realise that its not just about the amount of energy that we consume but about what we do with the energy.
For this reason we are combining the industrial automation tools which control our processes with our energy measurement and analysis within the context of production.
The Industrial Internet of Things, or Industry 4.0, is improving operational efficiencies for global industrial systems on a scale never seen before. The IIoT holds great potential for improved communications, productivity, quality control, supply chain efficiencies and overall business operations. With this broader connectivity, comes new attack vectors, vulnerabilities and opportunities for hackers.
When you start to consider the various IIoT cyber-attacks and exploits in the last decade, the damages are startling. In our infographic below we’ve build out a timeline with real-life security incidents as a way to show the magnitude of threats. Of course many of these are exploits where a vulnerability was found and exposed by researchers and gained media attention. For example, the well-known Miller/Valasek Jeep hack chronicled by Wired Magazine and just this week the cybersecurity research duo was at it again, demonstrating the full consequences of a digital attack, had a security patch not been updated. The green spots on the timeline represent actual attacks carried out by malicious hackers, like the Target data breach, or most recently the Ukraine Power Grid hack that occurred in December, where hackers used stolen credentials to gain remote access to the grid and cut power to over 200,000 customers.

Intelligent Internet of Things (IIoT): System Architectures and CommunicationsRaghu Nandy
Internet of Things (IoT) can be designed by various approaches with optimistic technology choices. This paper focuses on comparing recent studies on architectural choices and communication approaches for IoT Systems. Understanding Goals of an IoT system and inventing a general prototype for general IoT solutions is unique challenging. Existing research prototypes provide us information about IoT systems and their challenges. Existing architectures and communication approaches such as such as Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Instant Messaging (XMPP) and Web- Sockets Service can be used to develop a general IoT System prototype. SOA provides centralized/decentralized IoT systems. Instant Message services such as XMPP can be used to build distributed and secure IoT platforms. Web-sockets also used to build scalable IoT systems. Over all the choice depends on IoT system Goal and limitations. Intelligent IoT (IIoT) Systems can be seen as decision making system. IoT systems can be built on Cloud infrastructures With Sensor Event as a Service (SEaaS) - Cloud Sensor networks can enable applications to access on demand real-time sensor data. A generic IoT platform can be built and extended to a newer applications and platforms.

Development and Performance of Electro Hydraulic ExcavatorYogeshIJTSRD
The heavy earth moving machineries HEMM like hydraulic excavators play a major role in the construction and mining industries. In an industry of mining and construction, a hydraulic excavator plays a major role in action to perform a carry an heavy load. Employing the technology of automation, an alternative solution is made to replace the manual operation. By addressing the concept of automation in construction, the inevitable usage of embedded is accumulated to introduce in earthmovers. In a mass production or construction site, unplanned work would lead to time consuming and fault. To overcome the major disadvantage of time consuming, so implementation of automation is made on excavators. This could be made workers do other work sequentially with half monitoring the working process of excavator. This also favors the firm or industry to increase the work capability with an adequate number of laborers. K.

More Electric:
Our world is becoming More Electric. Almost everything we interact with today is either already electric or becoming electric. Think about it. From the time you start your day in the morning to the time you finish your day – your home, your car, your work, your devices, your entertainment – almost everything is electric. Imagine the energy needed to power this. Electricity consumption will increase by 80% in next 25 years
More Connected: Our lives are also becoming more connected. The Internet has already transformed the way we live, work and play. Now the Connected Things is going to take this to a brand new level. 50 billion things connected in the next 5 years.
More Distributed: With such a widespread electrification and connectivity, energy models need rethinking as well. Which is why the generation of power needs to be closer to users. Distributed Energy is rapidly evolving globally. This is positive energy – renewable. In 2014 , Renewables overtook fossil fuels in investment value, with $295bn invested in renewables compared to $289bn invested in fossil fuels. And it is getting cheaper to do this.
More Efficient: When our world is more electric, more connected and more distributed, new opportunities emerge and allows us to tap into even more efficiency – in industrial processes, in the energy value chain, in buildings, in transportation, in the global supply chain and even in the comfort and peace-of-mind of our homes.

A Practical Guide to Ensuring Business Continuity and High Performance in Hea...Schneider Electric
Within healthcare facilities, high availability of systems is a key influencer of revenue and patient safety and satisfaction. Three important critical success factors need to be addressed in order to achieve safety and availability goals. These include exceeding the facility’s level of regulatory compliance, a linking of business benefits to the maintenance of a safe and an “always on” power and ventilation environment, and a sensible approach to technology upgrades that includes new strategies for “selling” technological improvements to executives. This reference guide offers recommendations for identifying and addressing each of these issues.

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.

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.
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.

5. IIoT incorporates machine learning and big data
technology, harnessing sensor data, machine-to-machine
(M2M) communication and automation technologies that
have existed in industrial settings for years. The driving
philosophy behind IIoT is that smart machines are better
than humans at accurately, and consistently capturing
and communicating data.
The concept of “smart pumping”, also referred to
as an “intelligent pumping system”, combines greater
efficiencies with sensors and software to drive the
ability to regulate and control flow or pressure.
This approach results in energy savings, increased
equipment lifetime, and maintenance cost reductions.
