3TIER is a renewable energy consulting firm focused on wind and solar resource assessment. They provide pre-construction services like spatial mapping of wind resources, climate variability analysis, and comprehensive net energy reports. Their assessments use numerical weather prediction models with high resolution terrain data to generate synthetic wind data time series. They incorporate on-site observational data using model output statistics to remove bias from the synthetic data. Their most complete assessment is a project-wide net energy analysis using a 40+ year time series simulation that accounts for wakes, losses, and uncertainty.

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.

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!

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.

10. Traditional MCP
Measure-Correlate-Predict
Reference ✪
Site
ws=m*wsr+b
Uses a statistical relationship
between on-site obs data and a

understand the variability of the
wind resource and determine a
long-term adjustment
11. Traditional MCP
Measure-Correlate-Predict
» Reference site needs to be a consistent, long-term time
series located within a similar flow regime as the project site
» For robust results, MCP requires high correlation between
reference site and on-site, project data
» What to do if suitable long-term reference data are not
available?
13. Synthetic Reference Data – Using NWP Models
» Unlike MCP analysis, Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP)
models do not require off-site reference data.
» Over 50 years of historic wind resource data at hourly
resolution can be generated utilizing NWP models
» Synthetic reference data are provided at the project-site

22. Incorporating Observational Data
At any particular location the best way to
determine the wind resource is through direct
measurement.
3TIER incorporates observational data into
wind assessments whenever suitable on-site
data are available for
• Validation
• Statistical correction
23. Incorporating Observational Data - MOS
• MOS (Model Output Statistics) is a statistical technique to
remove bias & adjust the variance of NWP model data to
better match the on-site observed data
• NWP models simulate the full structure and time evolution of
the atmosphere. MOS relates the observed wind speed to
the leading NWP predictors to improve the quality of the
long-term estimate of the wind resource.
• The output of the MOS algorithm is a multi-linear equation
that is applied to all times of the analysis on an hourly basis
(windspeed_97m * 1.25) + (windspeed_200m * 0.51) + (u_200m * 0.07) +
(temperature_0m * -0.06) + 18.93
26. Skill at Monthly-mean Timescale
Raw Model Data MOS-Corrected Model Data

27. Skill at Annual-mean Timescale
Raw Model Data MOS-Corrected Model Data
Analysis performed with Horizon Wind Energy utilizing 299 tall towers
MOS-corrected standard deviation of error for an individual year = 3.4%
28. MOS skill utilizing short observational records
A single month of observational data helps to remove bias
MOS-corrected errors decrease throughout first year of observed record

capabilities allow unique
ability to model wakes in

solutions require climatic
conditions to be condensed
into distributions, disguising
important features like
performance in atmospheric

33. Comprehensive Assessment
• 3TIER’s most complete solution, provides finance quality
energy assessment
• Project-wide, net energy assessment based on the last 40+
years of MOS-corrected NWP model data
• Adds a site-visit, quality control of obs data, full uncertainty
analysis, and gross-to-net analysis to a FullView Project
Resource Assessment
• Uses 3TIER’s proprietary time-varying wake modeling
analysis to understand diurnal and seasonal variability of
wakes, wind speed deficits, and turbulence intensity
37. Comprehensive Assessment
Comprehensive uncertainty analysis highlights risk associated
with measurements, shear, spatial modeling, temporal
modeling, generation, wake modeling, etc…
38. Other Services
• Power Performance Testing – per IEC 61400-
12-1 standards
• Operational reforecast services – reassess the
long term production of a plant after operational
data is available
• Operational forensic services – root cause
analysis to “deep dive” into SCADA data and
attempt to explain variations on production
