description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Presentation , Other literature type 2019Publisher:Zenodo Authors: Rory McNicholl; Julie Allinson;The repository software dream has been a team of dedicated, in-house developers who work within their institutions and the various OS communities, hand-crafting new functionality and sharing the code. The reality has always been more complicated and messy. For a variety of reasons, many institutions find themselves without expert repository developers, but still needing to have bespoke work carried out. And commercial service providers have stepped up with offers to bridge this gap. Increasingly, institutions are working with such service providers as their technical partners. For the institutions, it means that OS software remains a viable option even without an in-house technical team. But can commercial providers be invested in Open Source in the same way that in-house developers are? Do they contribute to the long-term stability, sustainability and accessibility of OS software and communities, or are they just taking the money? The panel will present a range of views from both commercial service providers, those who keep technical expertise in-house, and some who do a little of both. We expect the discussion to be lively, though-provoking and insightful, hopefully sparking further discussions in the community about how we might continue to sustain the OS community within repositories.

Crosbie, Tracey in OpenAIREThis report comprises the output of Task 2.2 Strategies and indicators for data modelling and data analysis. It provides a suggestion for strategies to monitor CO2 emissions and a list of indicators that can be used to measure the performance of strategies to reduce CO2 emissions. These indicators are grouped and linked to a set of key questions, which are relevant for strategies to plan, design and implement low-carbon urban developments. The indicators identified in this report will be used to monitor and verify the impacts on CO2 emissions in the demonstrations conducted in WP8. The definition of this set of multi-dimensional indicators is based on the accounting framework proposed in D2.3. The indicators identified are most relevant for the three case studies (Manresa, Newcastle and North Harbour). This is because the scope of the work undertaken in Task 2.2 is specific to the problems addressed in the case studies. However, the indicators identified are also relevant to typical urban planning projects. Thus while the indicators presented in this report do not cover all aspects of all urban planning projects, they are adequate for developing strategies for evaluating the energy performance and CO2 emissions in many buildings, neighbourhoods and city development projects. As the SEMANCO platform develops and more case studies/pilot projects are analysed by users/actors it may be necessary to reassess the indicators. This means that a key finding derived from the work of Task 2.2 is that it is necessary to ensure that the SEMANCO platform and associated tools are flexible enough to allow both the introduction of new indicators and the removal of obsolete indicators.

Gancarski, Pawel in OpenAIREIntroduction The Windbench portal has been developed together with the IEA-Wind Task 31 “Wakebench” Wind Energy Model Evaluation Protocol (WEMEP) to promote interdisciplinary research in the development of integrated design tools. Due to the high complexity of the multi-scale wind energy system, a building-block validation process is required to systematically test model adequacy based on fit-to-purpose metrics across a wide range of wind conditions. Value Proposition Windbench focuses primarily on model developer needs while also engaging with researchers involved in the design of experiments and generation of validation datasets. End-users from industry use Windbench to judge the adequacy of the models underlying their design tools. The value proposition for these users is: Validate your code together with your peers and share your data safely to contribute to a traceable international model evaluation framework for the development of trustful wind energy engineering tools. This is rolled out into the following features that lead the new design of Windbench: A community platform to map and document the development an international wind energy modeling and evaluation framework. A validation directed research program to establish high-level priorities for experimental analysis, model development and evaluation to meet the requirements of wind energy applications. A guide to adopt formal model evaluation procedures and data standards to improve the traceability and interoperability of the framework. A gateway to open-access resources for modeling, data analysis and validation. A forum to discuss industry challenges and scientific insights that help identify knowledge gaps. Solution Windbench will orchestrate general-purpose services around the SeaDataCloud virtual research environment (VRE), a data analytics platform that allows users to run benchmarking activities powered by the EUDAT Collaborative Data Infrastructure. Jupyter notebooks will be integrated in the WEMEP using sphinx-based documentation through Github repositories, published in Zenodo for version control. Benchmark data repositories will be shared and exploited through EUDAT data management services integrated with the SeaDataCloud to adopt policies and standards that promote data interoperability. Potential contributions to the WEMEP will be discussed online through The Wind Vane Blog, a publication hosted by Medium to promote the exchange of scientific insights and challenges between wind energy researchers and industry. Testing Plans Windbench is developed alongside the third phase of the IEA Wind Task 31 with support from the H2020-MARINET2 project (grant agreement number 73108). Over the next three years the integration of Windbench in the SeaDataCloud VRE will be enabled and tested with use cases from MARINET2 calls for access to e-infrastructures as well as other parallel projects under the umbrella of the IEA Wind. Solution testing with early adopters will focus on developing critical components that lead to adoption (communities engaged, benchmarks produced, users producing content, etc). This will ultimately depend on an actionable model evaluation protocol that promotes validation repositories that follow FAIR principles on data that are findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable. Summary We present a prototype for the new design of Windbench, a service to manage benchmarking activities for verification and validation of wind energy models. Windbench addresses model developers, experimentalists and end-users from industry through an actionable model evaluation protocol that promotes data sharing and trust. This will be powered by a virtual research environment built on the SeaDataCloud to provide data analytics around benchmark repositories managed in the EUDAT data management ecosystem. Key performance indicators will be based on quantifying user adoption as well as assessing the FAIRification of the data as outlined in the GO FAIR initiative.

This report analyses formats that bring together actors from different societal spheres to collaborate (rather than to have a dialogue only) in a project-like setting. To qualify, a collaboration needs to be considered by at least one of the actors as an ‘experiment’ meaning that it aims at testing, investigating or trialling a specific solution and/or clearly aiming at learning from putting certain solutions in practice. To be included in this report, the experimentation clearly focuses on energy topics and takes place in Germany. Although terms and concepts are often not clearly defined, we could distinguish and trace the developments of at least five collaborative multi-actor experimentation formats during the last twenty years.

Brunori, Paolo in OpenAIREThis study develops a multidimensional framework to assess cumulative exposure to climaterelated risks across Europe, integrating health, energy, transport, and socioeconomic conditions. By mapping risk distribution across regions and measuring dependence, we capture the interconnectedness of exposures and identify key socioeconomic drivers. Our findings reveal a substantial variation in risk distribution, with no clear geographical patterns. Unsurprisingly, household income emerges as the strongest determinant of exposure. We extend this analysis by projecting cumulative exposure to 2050, applying climate scenarios. The results suggest gradual rather than sharp change in exposure over time, with some areas exhibiting sharp rises; however, average risks are expected to rise across the entire continent.

Jenkins, Jesse D. in OpenAIREThis study employs an electricity system capacity panning model with detailed economic dispatch and unit commitment decisions/constraints to quantitatively answer two key questions: How does the enactment of the federal Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 impact the cost of electricity, greenhouse gas emissions, and investment in electricity capacity in the PJM Interconnection over the 2023-2035 period? Given new and expanded federal subsidies for clean electricity resources in the Inflation Reduction Act, what additional capacity investments and resource deployment would be required and at what cost for the PJM region to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80-90% by 2035 while maintaining an affordable and reliable electricity supply? Executive summary: In August 2022, Congress passed and President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which enacts a comprehensive set of financial incentives (tax credits, grants, rebates, loans) that support all sources of carbon-free electricity, promote vehicle and building electrification and efficiency, and subsidize carbon capture and storage (CCS). The implementation of IRA means that the full financial weight of the federal government is now behind the clean energy transition. This will have transformative effects on the economics of decarbonization in the PJM Interconnection (and across the United States). IRA will spark a new, sustained period of growth in PJM electricity consumption, which could rise ~19% from 2021 to 2030. The law also subsidizes the cost of deploying new renewable energy capacity and maintaining the region’s existing nuclear fleet. As a result, this study finds that clean electricity could supply 60% [58-66% across sensitivities] of PJM demand in 2030, up from 48% [43-61%] without enactment of IRA. However, realizing this potential will require a dramatic acceleration in the pace of wind and solar interconnection and transmission expansion in the PJM Interconnection. The growth of lower-cost, carbon-free electricity under IRA will significantly reduce CO2 emissions from PJM power generation, which could fall 37% [3-66%] from 2019/2021 levels. In contrast, PJM emissions would increase 12% [0-15%] from 2021 levels without IRA. However, PJM emissions may rebound after 2032 when a production tax credit for existing nuclear reactors established by IRA is set to expire. Unless equivalent policy support is extended beyond 2032, our modeling finds 12 GW [0-33 GW] of the PJM nuclear fleet is likely to retire by 2035, with new natural gas capacity and generation increasing to fill the resulting gap and meet growing demand, reversing some of the emissions progress achieved through 2030. In addition to driving down greenhouse gas emissions, IRA also lowers the cost of electricity supply in the PJM region. We find the average cost of bulk electricity supply for PJM load serving entities (LSEs), including transmission expansion and state policy requirements, will be about $42/MWh [~$40-45/MWh] in 2030, about 5-10% lower than without IRA, and well below costs paid in 2019 ($50.2/MWh) and 2021 (~$61/MWh). The primary sources of cost savings are reduced wholesale energy prices, lower costs to meet state clean energy policy goals (due to federal subsidies), and growing demand (which spreads fixed costs over more MWh). While IRA puts the PJM region on a path to lower-cost electricity and lower greenhouse gas emissions, the new federal policy is not sufficient to drive deep decarbonization of the PJM interconnection on its own. Fortunately, by subsidizing the cost of all new carbon-free electricity resources, IRA also makes it cheaper and easier for PJM states to reduce emissions further while preserving affordability. Part 2 of this study presents a cost-optimized blueprint of the additional capacity investments and resource deployment required for the PJM region to deeply decarbonize over the 2023-2035 period. Specifically, we apply two stylized policy constraints and model the evolution of the PJM capacity mix and operations to meet those constraints: A clean electricity standard (CES) requiring increased shares of carbon-free electricity generation in the region (55% clean share by 2025, 70% by 2030, 85% by 2035), and; A CO2 emissions cap and trading scheme (cap & trade) requiring decreasing region-wide emissions (58% below 2005 emissions by 2025, 80% by 2030, 95% by 2035) This study finds that, due to passage of IRA, the PJM region could cut CO2 emissions from power generation by 80-90% by 2035 while keeping average bulk electricity supply costs for LSE’s comparable to or lower than levels experienced in recent years (2019 & 2021). However, deep decarbonization in the PJM region will require much more rapid expansion of low-carbon electricity resources and supportive transmission expansion above and beyond the rates of deployment made economical by IRA. By 2035, the region will also likely deploy more advanced ‘clean firm’ resources like gas power plants with carbon capture and storage (CCS) or long-duration electricity storage technologies (LDS), to replace coal- and gas-fired power capacity. We also identify and map several affordable resource portfolios and spatial patterns for clean electricity resource siting across the PJM region, demonstrating that the region has some flexibility to address local priorities and concerns.

PLA can be polymerized from monomers (Lactide or Lactic acid) obtained by fermentation processes from renewable sources such as corn starch or sugarcane. For PLA synthesis, ring opening polymerization (ROP) of Lactide monomer is one of the preferred methods. In the literature, the technique mainly developed for ROP of PLA is based on metal/bimetallic catalyst (Sn, Zn and Al) or other organic catalysts in suitable solvent. However, the PLA synthesized using such catalysts may contain trace elements of the catalyst which may cause toxicity. This work estimated the usefulness and drawbacks of using different catalysts as well as effect of alternative energies and future aspects for PLA production.

However the extension and penetration of mobile communications are often hampered by the state of the electrical grid, which may not cover all areas and which may also be intermittent and unreliable. Thus we review some of the economic and technological challenges for mobile telecommunications that integrate and exploit potentially plentiful renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic, in developing areas of the world. Such sources of energy for communication networks are also useful to mitigate the environmental impact of energy consumption of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) world-wide. However renewable energy sources are themselves intermittent, and this raises new challenges concerning network design. Hence this paper also develops an analytical approach that can be used to evaluate the quality of service of networks that operate with intermittent sources of energy.

Byrne, Raymond in OpenAIREThis research case study assesses the impacts of peri-urban features such as buildings on the performance of an operating 850 kW Vestas V52 wind turbine that has a 60 m hub height and 52 m rotor diameter located at the outskirts of Dundalk town in Ireland. Multi-annual 10-minute SCADA data is analysed to assess the directional electrical energy rose (EER) of the wind turbine. This is compared to predictions from WAsP-IBZ that uses an obstacle model to assess buildings and to WAsP-CFD treating buildings as surface roughness elements in the terrain. Onsite LiDAR measurements are used to initialise the WAsP programme in both cases. Measured directional wind shear profiles are also assessed to give further insights into discrepancies between the predicted and actual energy performance of the wind turbine.
