UK Grid Watch 2012 - 2019 Highlight
Despite an increasing population in the UK, yearly energy demand has fallen by at least 16% since 2012, according to the data. The morning peak demand now occurs 2.5 hours earlier at 8:30 AM compared to 11 AM in 2012. A table shows that total yearly energy demand in GWh dropped from 321K in 2012 to 267K in 2019. A chart depicts the average daily energy demand profile and how the peak shifted earlier over the years from 2012 to 2019.
State of Wind Industry now to 2025
China had the most installed wind power capacity in 2011 at 44,733 MW, followed by the USA at 40,180 MW and Germany at 27,215 MW. Vestas, Goldwind, and Enercon were the top 3 global wind turbine manufacturers in 2011. Alberta had 891 MW of installed wind energy in 2012 and projections estimate 1,600 MW by 2017 and 2,500 MW by 2020 according to the AESO long-term plan. Early wind projects in Alberta like Cowley Ridge in 1993 provided economic benefits to local communities through jobs, tax revenues, and landowner payments.

Renewables and green energy
The document discusses the potential for renewable energy sources in the UK, including offshore wind, tidal, wave and solar power. It notes that the UK has excellent renewable energy resources and could potentially meet 53-67% of its electricity needs from renewables by 2050. Large-scale renewable projects being explored include tidal barrages and tidal lagoons. Investing in renewable technology and improving energy efficiency could create many new green jobs in the UK.
Group 5 Renewable Energy in Germany
Germany is transitioning to renewable energy sources and aims to generate 35% of its energy from renewables by 2020, 50% by 2030, and over 80% by 2050. It is shutting down nuclear power by 2022 and cutting carbon emissions significantly. Renewable sources like wind and solar generated over 100 terawatt hours of electricity in Germany in 2016. Renewable energy has advantages like job growth, no waste, and lower long-term costs, but also challenges such as high upfront costs, intermittency, and land use requirements.
Energy, climate change
The document discusses the importance of saving energy due to limited resources and increasing global energy demand and population. It notes that at a 1% annual growth rate of oil consumption, global oil reserves will be exhausted in less than 40 years. Switching to more efficient energy sources like solar and using technologies like frequency inverters and variable speed pumps/fans can significantly reduce energy usage and costs. Conservation and efficiency are key to addressing the global energy challenge.
WWF study-review
WWF-Brazil published a study in 2020 called the "Sustainable Power Agenda" examining Brazil's energy production paths and challenges. In 2005, the government started prioritizing fossil fuel plants like diesel, coal and natural gas, approving 3,286 MW of capacity. This represented a 2.8% increase in Brazil's carbon dioxide emissions and 11% increase for the electric sector. As a result, WWF-Brazil concluded that choices in Brazil's electricity sector over the next 15 years would be critical for energy security, economic competitiveness and environmental sustainability.
Palz pv 2015
Global renewable energy capacity has grown significantly, with China now the global leader in installed capacity of all types. Solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity has seen the biggest growth rate, doubling to over 200 GW globally since 2013 due to massive investment, particularly from China. China has become the dominant player in the global PV industry, producing over 80% of global solar cells while also growing its domestic PV installations the fastest of any country. The commercial success of PV is largely attributed to the combination of supportive European policies and China's low-cost mass production capabilities.

Renewable Energy: Impressions from Japan
Japan faces electricity generation challenges after shutting down most of its nuclear power plants following the Fukushima disaster. A new government is establishing a new energy policy that will likely continue renewable energy feed-in tariffs but at lower prices. Pilot projects are testing eco-cities, microgrids, renewable energy, and electricity optimization, providing opportunities for Japanese and foreign companies to demonstrate technologies.
Apollo programme report
The document proposes a Global Apollo Program to combat climate change through developing clean energy technologies. It notes that current commitments will not limit global warming to under 2°C, and renewable energy research and development (RD&D) is underfunded. The program proposes coordinating international RD&D efforts and spending 0.02% of GDP annually on priority areas like solar energy, electricity storage, and transmission to drive innovation and reduce costs, with a goal of making renewable energy cheaper than coal by 2020-2025. It aims to build on models like the semiconductor industry roadmap to accelerate progress through international collaboration.
Solar Corporate Presentation_2015_Final_optimized
The document discusses the growing global demand for energy and issues with relying solely on fossil fuels to meet that demand. It argues that solar power can play a key role in sustainably addressing energy needs. Schneider Electric is well positioned to help with solar solutions due to its experience, complete product portfolio, global presence, and focus on reliability and customer service.
Funding commercial solar
1) ARENA has committed almost $700 million to solar PV and thermal projects, including $177.8 million to R&D and $161.9 million to demonstrations. Large scale grid connected deployment received $358.8 million.
2) This funding has supported a variety of commercial solar projects across Australia, including large utility-scale plants, off-grid mining installations, and off-grid community systems.
3) Solar is now competitive with diesel generation for off-grid applications due to falling costs. A recent project at an Australian mine received funding from ARENA and the CEFC to displace 25% of annual diesel consumption with a 10MW solar and 6MW battery storage system.
The potential of deep geothermal energy
Deep geothermal energy (DGE) involves harnessing the thermal energy stored deep within the Earth's crust for electricity generation. It is a renewable, low carbon, and long-lasting source of energy that some experts estimate could generate up to 10% of the UK and USA's electricity needs. Commercial deep geothermal projects are currently being developed in countries like Australia and Germany, and former mining regions in the UK like Cornwall, Yorkshire, and the Northeast could also support viable commercial projects.
Saving Energy is One Bright Idea!
25% of home energy is used for lighting and Americans consume large amounts of oil daily, much of which is used to produce electricity. While only 5% of electricity comes from renewable sources currently, switching to LED lights and more efficient windows can help reduce energy use at home. Adopting more renewable energy resources like solar and hydro power would also help save energy.
Mitigation strategies for energy price hikes to small businesses
Small businesses face above inflation prices rises for the next few years. Here are some solutions to mitigate energy price rises.

Ísafjörður – Iceland’s Energy Frontier
The document analyzes wind resource data from four meteorological stations surrounding Ísafjörður, Iceland to determine the best location for a potential wind power project. It finds that the Þverfjall station has the highest average wind speed and capacity factor, indicating the strongest wind resource. However, Þverfjall also has the lowest average temperature and observed maximum wind speeds over 50 m/s, which could result in icing issues and structural risks for turbines. While Þverfjall appears to have the most powerful winds, its low temperatures and high maximum speeds may reduce energy production and discourage developers from choosing the site.

TrønderEnergi, a Norwegian energy company, produces over 1,800 GWh of hydropower annually and is increasing its focus on other renewables like onshore and offshore wind through partnerships and investments. These actions help Norway meet its renewable energy and emissions reduction goals while also creating new industrial opportunities.
Solar water heating for aquaculture: a case study of Finland
The technical and economic challenges associated with using solar thermal systems for heating water in large-scale aquaculture applications in a cold climate country are addressed in this paper. Policies of using solar thermal heating for large aquaculture farms and the corresponding potential benefits to counteract global challenges, such as reducing CO2 emissions, are presented with a case study in Finland, where using solar water heating for aquaculture at large scale is not common. The original design characteristics of the farm had been proposed in earlier work and are based on the Danish Recirculation Aquaculture System (RAS), where water is treated and recirculated to reduce both water and energy consumption. The farm has twenty-four tanks with a total capacity of 3240 m3. In this paper, the cost and benefits of the original system will be reconstructed to adopt an arrangement of glazed solar collectors to supply a fraction (i.e., solar fraction < 100%) of the heating demand in the farm (originally supplied by electricity). Scenarios with different solar fractions are assessed to determine the effect on the Net Present Value (NPV) of the project. Accordingly, the optimum mix of solar fraction and electric energy fraction is chosen based on the economic feasibility, while the corresponding reduction in CO2 emissions is reported. Next, the effect of uncertainty of capital and operation and maintenance costs on the NPV and payback time is examined. Finally, national policies, such as increasing grants on capital costs and reducing the interest rate, are proposed to provide a more attractive return and a lower risk to private fish farm investors in order to increase dependence on solar thermal heating, favouring these projects in Finland.
Developing Solar Projects under REC Mechanism in India
Instead of signing MoU, PPA, submitting performance bank guarantee etc for 25 years or participating in cut throat bidding process (project is viable only to module manufacturers for the rate it can be achieved), I suggest to develop the solar project under REC Mechanism, as for selling the power through average exchange rate and realizing the mean value of REC rate for first five years and half of the floor price for next 5 years, yields levellised rate of Rs.10.536*. [Solar Tariff in Gujarat: Rs. 9.28 for project commissioned up to 2013, Rs. 8.63 for project commissioned up to 2014 and Rs. 8.03 for project commissioned up to 2015].
Even if REC floor price is reduced by half for next 5 years and NIL thereafter, developing the project under REC and selling the power through Energy Exchange, would yield rate of Rs.9.647 which is more than maximum rate of NVVN against cost of generation not more than Rs.6.50. [NVVN is the nodal agency of NTPC for procuring solar power to meet their REC requirement. In the 1st phase NVVN finalized bid for 150 MW Solar Projects and in latest bid for 350 MW Solar Projects. In the latest NVVN bid the price offer for solar power projects were minimum Rs.7.49 and maximum Rs.9.44]

Preparing to program Aurora at Exascale - Early experiences and future direct...
In this deck from IWOCL / SYCLcon 2020, Hal Finkel from Argonne National Laboratory presents: Preparing to program Aurora at Exascale - Early experiences and future directions.
"Argonne National Laboratory’s Leadership Computing Facility will be home to Aurora, our first exascale supercomputer. Aurora promises to take scientific computing to a whole new level, and scientists and engineers from many different fields will take advantage of Aurora’s unprecedented computational capabilities to push the boundaries of human knowledge. In addition, Aurora’s support for advanced machine-learning and big-data computations will enable scientific workflows incorporating these techniques along with traditional HPC algorithms. Programming the state-of-the-art hardware in Aurora will be accomplished using state-of-the-art programming models. Some of these models, such as OpenMP, are long-established in the HPC ecosystem. Other models, such as Intel’s oneAPI, based on SYCL, are relatively-new models constructed with the benefit of significant experience. Many applications will not use these models directly, but rather, will use C++ abstraction libraries such as Kokkos or RAJA. Python will also be a common entry point to high-performance capabilities. As we look toward the future, features in the C++ standard itself will become increasingly relevant for accessing the extreme parallelism of exascale platforms.
This presentation will summarize the experiences of our team as we prepare for Aurora, exploring how to port applications to Aurora’s architecture and programming models, and distilling the challenges and best practices we’ve developed to date. oneAPI/SYCL and OpenMP are both critical models in these efforts, and while the ecosystem for Aurora has yet to mature, we’ve already had a great deal of success. Importantly, we are not passive recipients of programming models developed by others. Our team works not only with vendor-provided compilers and tools, but also develops improved open-source LLVM-based technologies that feed both open-source and vendor-provided capabilities. In addition, we actively participate in the standardization of OpenMP, SYCL, and C++. To conclude, I’ll share our thoughts on how these models can best develop in the future to support exascale-class systems."

Biohybrid Robotic Jellyfish for Future Applications in Ocean Monitoring
In this deck from the Stanford HPC Conference, Nicole Xu from Stanford University describes how she transformed a common jellyfish into a bionic creature that is part animal and part machine.
"Animal locomotion and bioinspiration have the potential to expand the performance capabilities of robots, but current implementations are limited. Mechanical soft robots leverage engineered materials and are highly controllable, but these biomimetic robots consume more power than corresponding animal counterparts. Biological soft robots from a bottom-up approach offer advantages such as speed and controllability but are limited to survival in cell media. Instead, biohybrid robots that comprise live animals and self- contained microelectronic systems leverage the animals’ own metabolism to reduce power constraints and body as an natural scaffold with damage tolerance. We demonstrate that by integrating onboard microelectronics into live jellyfish, we can enhance propulsion up to threefold, using only 10 mW of external power input to the microelectronics and at only a twofold increase in cost of transport to the animal. This robotic system uses 10 to 1000 times less external power per mass than existing swimming robots in literature and can be used in future applications for ocean monitoring to track environmental changes."

Energy Efficient Computing using Dynamic Tuning
In this deck from the Performance Optimisation and Productivity group, Lubomir Riha from IT4Innovations presents: Energy Efficient Computing using Dynamic Tuning.
"We now live in a world of power-constrained architectures and systems and power consumption represents a significant cost factor in the overall HPC system economy. For these reasons, in recent years researchers, supercomputing centers and major vendors have developed new tools and methodologies to measure and optimize the energy consumption of large-scale high performance system installations. Due to the link between energy consumption, power consumption and execution time of an application executed by the final user, it is important for these tools and the methodology used to consider all these aspects, empowering the final user and the system administrator with the capability of finding the best configuration given different high level objectives.
This webinar focused on tools designed to improve the energy-efficiency of HPC applications using a methodology of dynamic tuning of HPC applications, developed under the H2020 READEX project. The READEX methodology has been designed for exploiting the dynamic behaviour of software. At design time, different runtime situations (RTS) are detected and optimized system configurations are determined. RTSs with the same configuration are grouped into scenarios, forming the tuning model. At runtime, the tuning model is used to switch system configurations dynamically.
The MERIC tool, that implements the READEX methodology, is presented. It supports manual or binary instrumentation of the analysed applications to simplify the analysis. This instrumentation is used to identify and annotate the significant regions in the HPC application. Automatic binary instrumentation annotates regions with significant runtime. Manual instrumentation, which can be combined with automatic, allows code developer to annotate regions of particular interest."

Scaling TCO in a Post Moore's Era
In this deck from the Rice Oil & Gas Conference, Bradley McCredie from AMD presents: Scaling TCO in a Post Moore's Law Era.
"While foundries bravely drive forward to overcome the technical and economic challenges posed by scaling to 5nm and beyond, Moore’s law alone can provide only a fraction of the performance / watt and performance / dollar gains needed to satisfy the demands of today’s high performance computing and artificial intelligence applications. To close the gap, multiple strategies are required. First, new levels of innovation and design efficiency will supplement technology gains to continue to deliver meaningful improvements in SoC performance. Second, heterogenous compute architectures will create x-factor increases of performance efficiency for the most critical applications. Finally, open software frameworks, APIs, and toolsets will enable broad ecosystems of application level innovation."

Introducing HPC with a Raspberry Pi Cluster
In this deck from FOSDEM 2020, Colin Sauze from Aberystwyth University describes the development of a RaspberryPi cluster for teaching an introduction to HPC.
"The motivation for this was to overcome four key problems faced by new HPC users:
* The availability of a real HPC system and the effect running training courses can have on the real system, conversely the availability of spare resources on the real system can cause problems for the training course.
* A fear of using a large and expensive HPC system for the first time and worries that doing something wrong might damage the system.
* That HPC systems are very abstract systems sitting in data centres that users never see, it is difficult for them to understand exactly what it is they are using.
* That new users fail to understand resource limitations, in part because of the vast resources in modern HPC systems a lot of mistakes can be made before running out of resources. A more resource constrained system makes it easier to understand this.
The talk will also discuss some of the technical challenges in deploying an HPC environment to a Raspberry Pi and attempts to keep that environment as close to a "real" HPC as possible. The issue to trying to automate the installation process will also be covered."

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.
