2) Modeling is done for several offshore wind areas based on their potential capacity and suitable foundation types. Investment costs and possible transmission connections are parameters.
3) Model runs analyze a baseline scenario and scenarios with trade limitations or investment subsidies. Results show large subsidies would be needed for offshore wind to be competitive and connect to Norway. Export to Europe is preferred due to price conditions.
Unlocking the Innovation Hidden within Today’s Variable-Speed DrivesEMEX
It is more than 40 years since the technology of variable-speed drives (VSDs) entered the market. Yet despite electric motors accounting for some 65 percent of industrial energy consumption, only 5 percent of installed motors are speed controlled. While not all motors are suitable for speed control, there is still a large proportion that could be. Yet when asked what is the most effective way to reduce energy, UK business responded with “change energy supplier”. Without doubt the most effective way to get real energy savings is to install energy efficient motors and VSDs. In this presentation John Guthrie looks at the impact of VSDs on a diverse range of sectors, offering real examples from hospitals and swimming pools to data centres and car parks.

Integration of Renewables in the Swiss Energy SystemIEA-ETSAP
- The document discusses integrating renewable energy, like wind and solar PV, into Switzerland's energy system between 2015-2050. It analyzes measures like grid expansion, storage batteries, and flexible demand.
- The Swiss TIMES energy model is used to study over 100 scenarios that vary energy policy, electricity imports allowed, climate policy stringency, location of new gas plants, and grid expansion levels.
- Results show electricity use continues increasing by 4-30% by 2050, with gas, renewables, and imports replacing phased-out nuclear power. Storage needs of 30-50% of wind and solar capacity are estimated above 14TWh of renewable generation.
Addressing demand uncertainty in long-term planning modelsIEA-ETSAP
This document discusses addressing demand uncertainty in long-term energy planning models. It compares deterministic models using planning reserve margins to stochastic models that capture expected operational costs under different demand scenarios. Capturing multiple demand scenarios changes the optimal capacity mix by accounting for the expected costs of meeting variable demand. Stochastic models also endogenously assess renewable energy capacity credits over multiple time periods rather than fixing credits based on a single peak period. Accounting properly for demand uncertainty and renewable intermittency provides more robust optimal capacity planning outcomes.

Ms. Corine Nsangwe Businge, RSE - Ricerca sul Sistema Energetico
On Thursday 19 November 2015, the British Embassy in Paris hosted a second trilateral workshop with French, German and British delegates from the research, government and business sectors to discuss the importance of energy storage.
Germany has continuously developed policies to foster the deployment of renewable energy sources through legislation like the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). The EEG provides long-term fixed prices or premiums for renewable electricity to incentivize investment. Recent amendments brought the EEG in line with EU state aid rules and introduced competitive auctions to determine support levels. Auctions have led to declining prices for solar and onshore wind. The legislation aims to balance cost efficiency, quantity control and stakeholder diversity in renewable energy deployment.

Preliminary results show low GDP impacts of climate policies but higher total system costs. Future work includes further comparison of macro modeling approaches and linking the models to assess whole energy-economy impacts of policies.
Emission impacts of marginal electricity demand in FranceIEA-ETSAP
This document summarizes research on estimating the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions impacts of marginal electricity demand increases in France out to the year 2050. The research combined a bottom-up model of future electricity demand with a TIMES model of France's electricity supply system. Preliminary results for one scenario showed CO2 intensities of electricity could reach up to 300 gCO2/kWh by 2050, varying seasonally and hourly. Applying a carbon tax reduced CO2 intensities and even led to negative emissions some hours as biomass with carbon capture and storage displaced other generation. The analysis highlighted the need to better represent plant dynamics and interactions to accurately assess hourly CO2 impacts.

Winners and losers of end-use flexibility in the Norwegian energy systemIEA-ETSAP
This document summarizes the findings of a study analyzing the impact of end-use flexibility on the Norwegian energy system. The study used an optimization model to evaluate two scenarios: Energy Nation with decentralized solutions and Nature Nation with centralized solutions. The study found that end-use flexibility from electric vehicle charging, hot water tanks, and batteries can reduce energy system costs by 8-5 billion euro annually by 2050 while lowering peak demand. However, it also reduces income for power producers by 0.5-1 billion euro. End-use flexibility shifts electricity use to times of high solar production and low prices, benefiting buildings and international electricity trade while negatively impacting power producers.

Recording at https://youtu.be/3YN4F8-G3RM
The electric vehicle penetration at global level is expected to surge in the coming years. While permanent magnet motors are convenient in terms of power density and efficiency, the use of rare earths is problematic for multiple reasons.
The ReFreeDrive project (www.refreedrive.eu), funded by the European Commission, has pushed the boundary of two motor technologies which do not use any critical raw material at all: induction with copper rotor and synchronous reluctance. The specific torque is increased by 30%, motor losses reduced by 50% and costs by 15%, while delivering a solution feasible for mass production.
In this webinar IFPEN Energies Nouvelles and University of Aquila will explain in detail the control strategies and electric drive design of induction and synchronous reluctance motors for e-mobility.

Deze opdracht is ook essentieel voor de economie, aangezien ons net ook rechtstreeks de grote ondernemingen, die op het net zijn aangesloten, van stroom voorziet.
Door onze geografische ligging in het hart van Europa, is Elia ook een essentiële speler op de energiemarkt en binnen het geïnterconnecteerde elektriciteitsnet. Onze onderneming heeft verscheidene initiatieven gelanceerd om de ontwikkeling te bevorderen van een efficiënte, transparante en billijke elektriciteitsmarkt ten dienste van de verbruikers.
Om zijn opdracht van elke dag te vervullen en de uitdagingen van morgen het hoofd te bieden, telt Elia in België op dit ogenblik meer dan 1 100 professionele medewerkers, die instaan voor het dagelijks beheer van een net dat als een van de meest betrouwbare netten in Europa bekendstaat.

DLAU und die Lizenzen nach dem CCB- und CCX-Modell sind für viele in der HCL-Community seit letztem Jahr ein heißes Thema. Als Notes- oder Domino-Kunde haben Sie vielleicht mit unerwartet hohen Benutzerzahlen und Lizenzgebühren zu kämpfen. Sie fragen sich vielleicht, wie diese neue Art der Lizenzierung funktioniert und welchen Nutzen sie Ihnen bringt. Vor allem wollen Sie sicherlich Ihr Budget einhalten und Kosten sparen, wo immer möglich. Das verstehen wir und wir möchten Ihnen dabei helfen!
Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie häufige Konfigurationsprobleme lösen können, die dazu führen können, dass mehr Benutzer gezählt werden als nötig, und wie Sie überflüssige oder ungenutzte Konten identifizieren und entfernen können, um Geld zu sparen. Es gibt auch einige Ansätze, die zu unnötigen Ausgaben führen können, z. B. wenn ein Personendokument anstelle eines Mail-Ins für geteilte Mailboxen verwendet wird. Wir zeigen Ihnen solche Fälle und deren Lösungen. Und natürlich erklären wir Ihnen das neue Lizenzmodell.
Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, bei dem HCL-Ambassador Marc Thomas und Gastredner Franz Walder Ihnen diese neue Welt näherbringen. Es vermittelt Ihnen die Tools und das Know-how, um den Überblick zu bewahren. Sie werden in der Lage sein, Ihre Kosten durch eine optimierte Domino-Konfiguration zu reduzieren und auch in Zukunft gering zu halten.
