Technology and participation - Harnessing the emerging power of broadband for...Paul Treadwell
This document discusses how broadband can enable civic engagement and participation. Broadband provides always-on internet access through a variety of technologies and is increasingly mobile through phones and tablets. While broadband access is growing, barriers like cost, literacy, and security still exist. Broadband can be viewed both as providing access to information and active participation in online communities. Local governments are using broadband for e-government services and digital literacy training to engage residents.
1. Web 2.0 focuses on individuals rather than institutions and allows for greater outreach, user participation, and sharing of content through social media platforms.
2. Canadians are heavy internet users, spending much time online through search engines, social networks, and sites like YouTube, presenting opportunities for museums to engage online audiences.
3. Harnessing social media can help museums increase their visibility, engage more people in their communities, and potentially increase in-person visits and support through an online presence.

5th LF Energy Power Grid Model Meet-up SlidesDanBrown980551
5th Power Grid Model Meet-up
It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
