European Utility Week - US Business Utility ModelsPaul De Martini
This document summarizes key points about changing US utility business models:
1) Policy drivers like renewable portfolio standards are spurring more distributed energy resource (DER) adoption by customers. Over 80% of the US population is under policies equivalent to the EU's 20/20/20 plan.
2) DER capacity like solar, demand response, and backup generation is projected to reach 30% of total US capacity by 2020, coming entirely from customers.
3) Increasing variable renewable generation and customer DER are changing utility operational needs and requiring more flexible resources to balance the grid.
4) Utilities will need to develop new strategies like offering differentiated energy solutions and facilitating DER markets to maintain competitive advantages
The document discusses renewable energy and the Philippines' Renewable Energy Act of 2008. It provides the following key points:
1) The Philippines' energy mix is currently 34% renewable, higher than the global average of less than 10%. However, the document argues that imposing feed-in-tariffs will unfairly increase costs for consumers and businesses.
2) It opposes the 20-year fixed rates established by the National Renewable Energy Board, arguing they guarantee profits for developers at high costs to Filipino ratepayers.
3) Instead, it advocates developing existing hydroelectric and geothermal sources further to increase renewable energy production more cost-effectively.

The power purchase agreement (ppa) presentationAudrey Mwala
The document discusses key aspects of a power purchase agreement (PPA) between a power producer and off-taker in a public-private partnership project. It explains that the off-taker must determine power needs and budget, select an appropriate technology and location for a power plant, and then procure power through a competitive bidding process or direct negotiations. The PPA and other agreements like fuel supply, grid connection, construction, operation and maintenance, and loans must then be negotiated between the producer and off-taker.
The document discusses opportunities in the solar energy industry in India. It notes that the sun provides enough energy in just 8 minutes to meet global energy needs. Currently, the solar industry is experiencing losses as government subsidies decrease. However, India's coal power prices are expected to rise in the coming years, reaching parity with solar power costs by 2022-2024. This will make large-scale solar power plants and rooftop solar panels an attractive investment opportunity in India. The document outlines various business models and government policies that support the growth of the solar industry.
The document summarizes research into potential customers for small vertical axis wind turbines. It outlines an initial hypothesis of target customers as environmentally conscious homeowners looking to reduce electric bills.

It notes that almost half of parents seek additional vaccine information, primarily from the internet, friends/family, or healthcare providers. While most information from providers increases vaccine confidence, some feel less confident, and a minority feel information from each source decreases confidence. The internet contains both information supporting and opposing vaccines, but trust in sources is a stronger predictor of vaccine refusal than internet use alone. Anti-vaccine online content can increase risk perceptions and undermine trust through examples of trusted sources changing positions or poor science communication in pro-vaccine rhetoric.

UCL || Dr Helge Wurdemann || Soft Robotics for SurgeryScience: Disrupt
This document discusses the potential for soft robotics in surgery. Current rigid robotic surgery systems have limitations such as poor visualization and lack of haptic feedback. Soft robotic systems could address these issues by providing enhanced dexterity and the ability to conform to anatomical structures. The STIFF-FLOP consortium is working on developing a stiffness-controllable soft manipulator for surgical applications like total mesorectal excision. Key challenges include controlling actuation with flexible structures, sensing within soft bodies, and miniaturization for medical use. Soft robotics shows promise for improving minimally invasive surgery.

It also mentions upcoming races to the moon in 2017 involving 3 missions, ESA's plan for a Moon Village within a decade to replace the International Space Station, and SpaceX's mission to Mars which Elon Musk estimates will take 40-100 years to create a self-sustaining civilization and will cost $200k per person.
The Future of Surgical Training || Shafi Ahmed || Future HealthScience: Disrupt
Shafi Ahmed, Consultant Surgeon at Royal London Hospital, joins us at the Science: Disrupt London Session on Future Health to talk about VR and AR and whether they are the future of Global surgical training.
People-powered Health || Maxine Mackintosh || Future HealthScience: Disrupt
This document discusses how social sciences can be applied to disrupt and improve future health. It specifically mentions three concepts from social sciences: information asymmetry, principal-agent problem, and social movement theory. It then discusses how involving more people in designing healthcare can help address issues like bias, since people will experience healthcare needs in their lives. It notes that while women make up over 75% of the healthcare workforce in the UK, they are underrepresented in leadership roles. This imbalance can negatively impact areas like artificial intelligence for healthcare if training datasets are not diverse. While organizations like HealthTech Women UK help address this, barriers still exist, and changing culture is best done by growing diverse representation from within rather than dictating changes.
OpenTrials is building an open, linked database of information about clinical trials from around the world to address issues with the current fragmented and incomplete state of clinical trial data. This includes trials not being published, results being misreported or reported differently in different places, and a lack of a single source of trial information and data. OpenTrials is compiling trial data from various registries and through donations, crowdsourcing, and scraping to create a comprehensive database that researchers, doctors, patients, journalists, and developers can use. They are looking for partners to help fund, provide data to, and test their developing platform.

• Provocation #3: Flexibility value is so volatile only small start-ups will bother with it and it will never reach the
scale needed.
• Provocation #4 is: Distributed energy and electricity utilities will always be in competition because large utilities

Editor's Notes
These value pools are linked, you would not go into these markets for the revenues, but you might go into it as a loss leader to ENABLE new markets and protect your access to other revenue sources such as the EV charging and distributed lease element.
