Happy to take questions

The document discusses whether cloud computing is more energy efficient than traditional in-house data centers. It notes that cloud providers aim to drive efficiency through virtualization and can close down physical data centers. However, moving to the cloud may increase network traffic and energy transmission losses. The document also examines metrics like PUE that measure data center efficiency but are not the full picture. Migrating to the cloud could shift who pays rising energy costs due to green taxes as the UK faces an increasing energy gap due to nuclear plant retirements.

Daylighting[1]

Jennifer Kleinhenz

Daylight harvesting utilizes natural daylight to reduce energy usage from electric lighting. It delivers daylight into buildings through windows, skylights, or light shelves and controls it using methods like occupancy sensors, photosensors, or dimming systems. Daylight harvesting systems interact with electric lighting by dimming or turning off lights when sufficient daylight is available and turning lights on or brightening them when daylight levels decrease.

Opportunities in the sector include innovation and partnerships with experienced local organizations.

Resolve intersolar china 2014

RESolve Energy Consultants

India faces major energy challenges as it is the 4th largest energy consumer but has scarce, insecure, and dirty energy sources currently. Solar energy has high potential to address these issues due to India's abundant solar resources, but solar makes up a small fraction of current capacity and growth has slowed recently. However, regulatory policies like renewable purchase obligations and central and state initiatives aim to boost solar capacity to large targets over the coming decades, which could total over 34 GW just from meeting RPO requirements. A new national government may help accelerate decision making and progress towards developing India's solar energy potential.

house solar panel kits

rise91rusty

To maximize the free electricity from solar panels, homeowners should try to use more electricity during the day when the panels are generating power. They can still switch their gas and electricity providers while receiving the Feed-in Tariff rate for solar energy. Installing residential solar panel kits provides free energy that homeowners may not notice a difference when using, as it supplements power from the electric grid. More details are available in an online video and YouTube channel about home solar options.

The impact of carbon pricing

SilverAssetServices

The document discusses the impact of carbon pricing on electricity costs in Australia. It states that carbon pricing will cause electricity prices to rise by different amounts in each state, ranging from 4.6% in South Australia to 14.2% in the Australian Capital Territory. As an example, it estimates that carbon pricing will increase costs in Queensland by around 2.4 cents per kilowatt hour, which would equate to under a 5% increase on the total electricity bill for the average residential tariff 11 customer in that state.

Ireland Towards 2030: Realising the Energy Cloud

Emeka Chukwureh

The document discusses Ireland's goal of realizing an "Energy Cloud" by 2030 to transition to a more renewable, distributed, and digitalized energy system. It outlines Ireland's plan to increase renewable electricity from 40% in 2020 to 55% by 2030. Projections estimate total electricity requirement will increase between 22-53% by 2030. The energy system will transition from a traditional linear model to a multidirectional "Energy Cloud" network with more distributed generation, storage and load. This will involve migrating from simple supply contracts to a more digitalized system.

Switched on or switched off? Public attitudes to the UK’s energy challenges

Ipsos UK

The challenges facing the energy sector are immense, from taking action on climate change to providing an affordable supply. The Environment Research team at Ipsos MORI has undertaken research into these challenges for a range of clients from Academics to Government and the Energy Industry. Edward Langley, head of Ipsos MORI's Environment research team, and his colleague Antonia Dickman, shared some of their insights from this research as part of University College London’s Energy Seminar series.

Smart Grids

Innovation Manchester

The document discusses how to meet future energy demands in the UK in a sustainable way through 2030 and beyond. It proposes using renewable sources like wind, solar, biomass and tidal for 30% of energy, and nuclear and carbon capture coal for another 60%, totaling 90% clean energy. The remaining 10% would come from "dirty" coal energy. It also discusses using smart grids, dynamic demand, storage and dispersed generation to better match energy use to intermittent renewable supply and reduce costs for consumers.

The renewable heat report frost & sullivan

Jonathan Robinson

Renewable heating technologies provide an important opportunity for UK businesses and consumers to reduce energy bills and carbon emissions. Heating accounts for over 78% of energy usage in homes and 55% of non-domestic buildings, and produces 38% of UK carbon emissions. However, awareness and understanding of renewable heating solutions like biomass boilers and heat pumps is currently low in the UK. Increased education is needed to help households and businesses recognize these proven technologies as modern, efficient alternatives to fossil fuel heating.

Uk energy strategy going forward towards 2050

Service_supportAssignment

The document outlines the UK's energy strategy towards 2050. It discusses that the strategy will involve a mix of renewable energy sources like solar, wind, tidal, and nuclear to achieve sustainability and affordable energy costs. UK energy costs have risen significantly in recent years, causing payment issues for many. The strategy aims to transition to renewable sources to help control long term costs while reducing the UK's carbon emissions. It analyzes strengths like the early identification of problems, weaknesses like rising costs reducing trust, and opportunities from the UK's geographic resources for renewable energy.

Wind energy; it's place in Wales

David Owain Clubb

This document discusses wind energy and its role in Wales' renewable energy goals. It notes that while energy use in Wales has decreased, consumption continues to increase overall. Currently, renewable generation in Wales comes primarily from wind, hydro, and bioenergy, but the share of UK renewable generation from Wales has fallen in recent years. Barriers such as inconsistent planning policies have hindered growth of renewables in Wales. The document argues that wind energy can help meet Wales' future energy needs through benefits like jobs and community funds, but current policies do not adequately support increasing renewable capacity from sources like wind.

Thesis. LPWI

Gavin Stanley

This document is a critical review of landowners' perceptions of wind turbines in Ireland. It begins with an introduction discussing the need for renewable energy due to climate change. It then provides background on wind energy development in Ireland. The document aims to understand landowners' views of wind farms through a survey. It finds that while landowners see environmental and economic benefits, there are also concerns around placement, noise, and property values. The conclusion calls for better siting of turbines and open communication with local communities.

Meeting the targets to keep warming below 2°c a new us pathway

Luca Soppelsa

The US "Clean Power Plan" is insufficient for a 2°C pathway. We need: - Holistic and stringent Federal policies to attain targets; - Threefold approach where renewable electricity plays a key role; - Policies need to promote new energy investments; - Immediate action to minimize the costs; At the UN Climate Summit in Paris, policy-makers, businesses and financiers together can make the change happen.

Ofgem (2014) Breakdown of a dual fuel bill. [Online] Available at <https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/chart/breakdown-dual-fuel-bill> [accessed 11 Jun 2014]. Wholesale costs > Energy suppliers will talk of fluctuations in the World commodity market, such as wholesale price of gas used as primary fuel in gas-fired power generation.
Some people will always be first to switch. Most people have no real concerns. They have security of supply. Basically most people have better things to do with their time and in their lives than switch energy suppliers. The more self reliant consumer can be, the less need that have to contact their energy supplier. Therefore, suppliers can focus on fewer contacts and higher customer service. Bigger investment needed in self- and auto-metering. “The co-delivery of service” where consumers check their own meters rather than have meters read on their behalf.
