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.

Renovate Europe - Infographics

Andro Goblon

Renovating buildings across the EU by 2050 could significantly reduce energy demand and save over 400 billion euros per year in energy costs. Ramping up renovation rates from the current 1% to 3% annually could create over 2 million new jobs, lower energy bills, and reduce CO2 emissions by 36%. Ambitious renovation programs are needed to stimulate private investment and help the EU gain 130 days of energy independence by 2020 through reduced energy imports.

Presentation on Policy

Aqeel Meo

The document discusses early thoughts on the Roadmap 2050 for European energy policy. It outlines goals of abundant, affordable, and acceptable energy across Europe. It emphasizes that national energy policies can no longer be achieved without a European perspective. It also stresses the importance of completing the integration of European energy markets through regional market coupling. Major investments will be needed in infrastructure and innovation, potentially funded through existing funds or revenues from emissions trading schemes. The future fuel mix is expected to be low carbon but the specific path is still uncertain and will depend on factors like fuel prices, subsidies, climate policy, and public demand for renewables. Energy efficiency, especially in buildings, industry, and transport, will also be key.

UK, nuclear and renewables' struggle

Leonardo ENERGY

While UK met its 2020 interim target, there is some doubt regarding whether it will meet the overall 2020 target of 15% of energy consumption from renewables. For the time being it seems that the UK will have to make arrangements to count renewable energy produced and used in other member states to achieve its targets. Additionally, recent government decision to remove preliminary accreditation from the Feed-in-tariff, rejection of several renewable projects and Austrian legal action against development of the Hinkley Point nuclear power plant will have an effect on the countries energy future.

Is Sustainable Energy Feasible Without Nuclear?

Alexander Wolski

WorleyParsons is an international engineering and project management company that provides services to the energy, chemicals, and resources sectors.

Why Energy Storage? | Grant Wilson

icarb

The document discusses why energy storage is important for balancing energy supply and demand. It notes that energy storage has always played a role in matching supply to changing demands over different timescales. However, the tasks for which energy storage is needed are changing as energy systems decarbonize and incorporate more variable renewable sources like wind. Large-scale energy storage for seasonal balancing will likely rely on fuels or thermal storage rather than electrochemical storage due to cost considerations. Shorter-term within-day balancing could utilize a wider variety of storage technologies at different scales.

Contact information is provided for further discussion.

Public perception of renewables - economics

David Owain Clubb

This document discusses the economics of renewable electricity sources from multiple perspectives including environmental impact, energy security, and costs. It notes that costs are not always fully accounted for currently and some impacts are difficult to quantify. The author advocates taking a skeptical approach and acknowledges that the transition to renewable energy sources will happen gradually as different actors influence the pace of change.

Biomass to power

David Owain Clubb

This document discusses biomass as a source of electricity in the European Union. It notes that biomass currently accounts for 7.4% of electricity production on average across EU members. The document addresses some challenges with biomass electricity including its relatively low energy density compared to other renewable sources as well as potential competition with food production and biodiversity for land use. It calls for sustainability criteria to guide the industry's growth and challenges relying on potentially inefficient biomass technologies.

Hydro potential in Europe

David Owain Clubb

The document discusses a study by the European Environment Agency (EEA) on the environmental potential for hydroelectric power in Europe. The study analyzed data from the EEA's ECRINS database to determine the technical and environmental potential for hydro, with environmental potential defined as using 0.33 of mean river flow at a capacity factor of 70%. The data was incomplete but improving, and the EEA may revisit their analysis next year with better proxy information to refine their estimates.

2010 - Environmental impacts of hydropower

David Owain Clubb

This document discusses hydroelectric power potential in Europe. It summarizes that a study by the European Environment Agency (EEA) found the technical potential for hydroelectric power is restricted, but the environmental potential is even more limited after accounting for environmental factors. The study used a database called ECRINS to analyze hydrological data and potential dam sites in catchments. It made assumptions about factors like water flow rates, plant efficiencies, costs, and environmental impacts to estimate potential. While the technical potential is limited, the document suggests focusing on innovating business models to adapt. It also notes that environmental protections like Article 4.7 must be maintained.

2010 - Offshore wind environmental impacts

David Owain Clubb

This document discusses environmental impacts from offshore wind farms, including impacts during construction, operation, and decommissioning. It notes that construction can impact marine animals through noise from pile driving but that operational impacts appear minimal. Operational impacts on birds may be less than 1% collision risk, and wind farms may create artificial reefs and fish refuges. Planning and environmental directives aim to ensure cumulative impacts are considered and good environmental status of oceans is maintained.

A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process. In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds. - These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf

Paige Cruz

Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack. While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack. I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
