Ulterino-Africities_01Dec2015_final
1) The document discusses strategies for embedding distributed energy resources like solar PV and battery storage into new property developments in African cities to create localized, low-carbon energy systems.
2) Rapid urbanization and infrastructure deficits in African cities create an opportunity to develop integrated energy and property projects. Distributed energy is now economically competitive with traditional electricity sources and prices are continuing to decline with innovation and deployment.
3) Case studies from around the world demonstrate how new developments can become "energy hubs" generating multiple revenue streams from local energy sales, demand response, and other services. However, barriers like risk aversion in the property sector and lack of suitable financing products must still be addressed.

Dr. Volker Wittwer discusses solar thermal systems and their potential to provide affordable clean energy. Solar thermal collectors can help meet the thermal energy demands of buildings by using the building envelope to absorb solar radiation. Looking ahead, buildings will be designed not only for protection and aesthetics but also to capture solar energy and cover a building's energy needs. Some renewable sources like solar have nearly unlimited potential compared to others such as modern biomass, wind, and hydro.
P6_DeAltin
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) and contracting models were discussed in the session. PPPs involve long-term cooperation between private corporations and public authorities to execute renovations on public real estate. Contracting allows public authorities to achieve carbon reductions, energy efficiency, and renewable energy without investment through formal service agreements with energy service providers. Presentations covered Austin's GreenChoice green pricing model, Germany's Eco-WATT performance contracting program for schools, and surface geothermal project examples from Germany.

The cooling project benefits customers through lower costs, the environment through reduced emissions, and the energy company through increased revenue streams.
D3_Hansen
The document discusses marketing sustainable buildings and houses. It notes that magazines often feature prototype houses, but people are reluctant to buy houses only focused on energy efficiency. A successful house needs to be cozy, safe, beautiful, and affordable to attract buyers. Marketers should focus on more than just energy savings and instead sell the overall experience and feelings a house can provide for residents. The big challenge is moving sustainable building designs from experiments into real homes that people will purchase.

Photovoltaics have become a versatile and attractive technology for generating electricity from sunlight. The cost of photovoltaic systems has decreased dramatically from over $100 per watt in 1980 to just $1 per watt in 2004 due to increases in production volumes and improvements in manufacturing processes. As a result, the cumulative installed global peak power capacity of photovoltaics grew from 10 megawatts in 1990 to over 10 gigawatts in 2010. A 12 megawatt ground-mounted solar photovoltaic system in Germany uses over 1,500 solar panels on two-axis trackers to generate about 14 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually across 77 hectares of land.

GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
