Summary of the article titled Resilient urban planning: major principles and criteria from 2014 by Ayyoob Sharifi and Yoshiki Yamagata presented at the 6thInternational Conference on Applied Energy, and then published in Energy Procedia. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see the implications of the resilience concept for the sustainability of urban areas. This article proposes a conceptual framework to assess resilience and urban sustainability based on a set of criteria and their interrelations. You can find the article through this link. Abstract: The notion of resilience is rapidly gaining ground in the urban sustainability literature. The frequency of recent incidents including natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes, and also difficulties caused by the economic downturn has highlighted the vulnerability of human settlements and makes the appropriate consideration of resilience in the planning for future of urban areas of vital significance. Development of an assessment framework for evaluating the extent of resiliency of urban areas can be an effective way of incorporating resiliency-related issues into the urban planning process. For this purpose, it is necessary to clarify the implications of the resilience concept for the sustainability of urban areas. It is also important to identify resilience-related principles and criteria that should be embedded in the framework for assessing the resiliency of urban environments. This study involves an initial review of the literature on resilience and urban sustainability to extract a comprehensive set of criteria that can be used to develop an urban resilience assessment system. Moreover, it tries to design a conceptual framework, illustrative of the inter-relations between these various set of criteria. Criteria for assessment of the resilience of urban areas are divided into several main themes that cover environmental, economic, social, and institutional dimensions of sustainability. These themes would further be broken down into major criteria to account for important relevant areas such as land use, infrastructure, health, etc. The output of this study can be used as the basis for defining a set of precise indicators that will constitute a potential assessment tool for measuring the resilience of urban developments. The resilient assessment process has the capacity to provide decision makers with a clear and comprehensive picture of the resilience of the development proposal and supports them in making better informed decisions.

This program was broadcast 10 years ago, and we decided it was important to present again the research that was done back in 2012.  Basically it empirically demonstrates the fallacy of the evolutionary claim that order can spontaneously occur out of chaos.

Dr. Howard Herzog is a pioneer of carbon capture and storage research, having studied it since 1989 in what is now called MIT's Energy Initiative. He was also a Coordinating Lead Author for the IPCC's 2005 Special Report on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage, and he is author of the 2018 book Carbon Capture. Bertie Harrison-Broninski talked to Dr. Herzog about the different forms of CCS, issues around direct air capture's cost, why enhanced oil recovery and CCUS are not the way forward, and what policies need to be put in place to incentivise CCS deployment.Further reading: ELCI has begun publishing our series of long reads on CCS.

Abstract Biomass feedstock utilization has the potential to reduce dependency on fossil fuels and improve energy security while decarbonizing our energy needs. Energy crops, short rotation woody crops, municipal solid waste, and agricultural and forest residues are considered promising sources of renewable energy. Computer modeling has proven to be a key tool towards minimizing logistics cost. Designing an efficient and economic biomass supply chain model can be a highly challenging task due to biomass' bulky nature, feedstock quality variability, uncertain supply conditions, and dispersed geographic location. It requires the integration of several operations including harvest, collection, storage, preprocessing, and transportation. Researchers posit that a sustainable biofuel supply chain includes an intermediate storage location to preprocess biomass for longer shelf life and delivery distances. In this presentation I will discuss different precision agricultural approaches for improving resource use efficiency, quality, profitability and sustainable production of fuels, products, and power.

Basta un minimo di familiarità col giardinaggio per sapere che, in una torrida giornata estiva, anche le piante più avvezze al sole soffrono. Che la parziale ombreggiatura offerta dalle moderne tecnologie agro-voltaiche potesse offrire più vantaggi che svantaggi, era dunque plausibile, ma oggi questa tesi può godere della solidità dei dati offerti da uno studio svolto sul campo proprio in Italia. Le analisi hanno preso in esame alcuni campi sperimentali realizzati in Pianura Padana grazie a una tecnologia sviluppata anch'essa in Italia, che permette di realizzare tensiostrutture leggere e minimamente invasive, in grado di ospitare sulla volta i pannelli fotovoltaici e lasciando al di sotto tutto lo spazio necessario ai macchinari agricoli per lavorare.I risultati dello studio, pubblicati su Applied Energy, hanno dimostrato che la convivenza tra agricoltura e fotovoltaico non solo non penalizza, ma addirittura avvantaggia, in media, la produttività agricola, permettendo quindi un reale risparmio di terreno.

Show #787   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Saturday 23rd  May 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   JAY LENO DRIVES THE TESLA CYBERTRUCK, MUSK RIDES SHOTGUN "The newest season of Jay Leno's Garage has started on May 20, 2020 and if you've been keeping updated with the beat, one of the cars that will be featured on the show is the Tesla Cybertruck." Says Motor1.com: "When asked what will be changed in the production-spec, Musk said that they may have made the show car a bit bigger than what's intended. The real thing will be smaller by five percent, although Musk has confirmed that the proportions will be the same. This kind of contradicts with Musk's tweet before, saying that the Cybertruck's width will be closer to 82 inches instead of 80 inches. But then again, we'll never know the actual measurement until the production version becomes a reality, so let's take this with a sprinkle of salt."   @elonmusk: “Reviewed [the Cybertruck] design with Franz last night. Even 3% smaller is too small. It will be pretty much this size [referring to the prototype].”   @elonmusk: “We’ll probably do a smaller, tight world truck at some point.”   https://www.motor1.com/news/424922/tesla-cybertruck-jay-leno-musk/   TRITIUM LAUNCHES WORLD-FIRST “PLUG AND CHARGE” TECHNOLOGY "Tritium, a leader in electric vehicle (EV) DC fast charging technology, has launched its game-changing Plug and Charge solution, the first of its kind in the world available to the market." Says RenewableEnergyMagazine: "The technology, leveraging the ISO15118 standard, enables an electric vehicle and charger to communicate seamlessly and authorize payments directly from the driver’s account, without the need for a card or RFID tag. The Tritium offering is the first to market and is available immediately for charge point operators to deploy on Tritium’s PK350kW DC High Power Chargers.  The technology promises to reshape the customer experience for the driver and enable the once-siloed approach to charging payments to be broken down with disparate charging networks able to interoperate. Drivers will be able to approach a charger, regardless of the charging network operator, and their charge session will be automatically and securely billed from the moment the charger plug connects to the vehicle."   James Kennedy, chief technology officer and co-founder, Tritium: "“Right now, EV drivers approaching an EV charger will likely have to sign up for that network’s system to access it and pay for the charging session, adding unnecessary time to the experience and siloing charger networks; even accounting for the ability to pay by credit card at some chargers this is wildly inconvenient,” he said. “With Plug and Charge, you’ll be able to plug the charger into the vehicle and it just charges, from your battery to your account.”   https://www.renewableenergymagazine.com/electric_hybrid_vehicles/tritium-launches-worldfirst-a-plug-and-chargea-20200522   TESLA NEXT-GEN ROADSTER’S SPACEX THRUSTERS "Standing by the flagship supercar and the newly-released Model Y crossover, Musk and Leno were recently featured in a promo video talking about the next-generation Roadster. Leno, for one, noted that sometimes, Musk’s ideas are so out of this world that he can’t really tell if the CEO is joking or not. Musk responded that when it comes to the Roadster’s rocket thrusters, he actually is serious. He then described exactly how the “main” thruster of the next-generation Roadster works." Says Teslarati.   “We’re gonna use ultra high pressure compressed air. It’s a cold gas thruster. The main thruster will be behind the license plate. So for acceleration, it drops the license plate, and behind the license plate is a rocket thruster. It’s like full-on James Bond,” Musk said.   https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-roadster-space-thruster-details-elon-musk-video/   JAGUAR-LAND ROVER WILL BUILD ELECTRIFIED SVO PERFORMANCE MODELS "Jaguar-Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations make the group’s highest performance and most exclusive models, none of which have been electric thus far. However, that will reportedly change as JLR intends to launch SV-branded plug-in hybrids and full EVs in the near future." Says Yahoo News: "Apparently, the reason why the i-Pace won’t be given the SVO treatment has to do with the fact that it sits on a bespoke platform designed specially for it and one that won’t be used to underpin any other vehicle. Yet what this means instead is there will be a hot version of the upcoming XJ saloon, which will be a direct rival to the AMG version of the Mercedes-Benz EQS."   https://uk.news.yahoo.com/jaguar-land-rover-build-electrified-114000590.html   ELECTRIC CARS ARE ABOUT TO START ROLLING OUT OF THE ARIZONA DESERT "Through a series of logistical maneuvers, help from parts suppliers and a bit of good fortune, Lucid executives say they’ve been able to move forward with installation of critical assembly-line equipment such as robotic arms and precision tools including stamping presses and jigs." Reports Bloomberg: "A big contribution of good karma has come from location. Arizona did not prohibit construction work along with much of the rest of the U.S. starting in March. After completing the steel structure in February, Lucid finished the exterior walls and roofing and recently has taken delivery of production equipment from suppliers including Hokuto, a parts-mounting device maker. Equipment manufacturers based in Asia were quick to reopen after Japan, China and South Korea allowed businesses to resume operations. While the initial production volume the company is targeting is in the tens of thousands, the plant has been designed to eventually make as many as 380,000 vehicles. That’s more than the roughly 367,500 vehicles Tesla delivered last year, all of which were built at its plant in California."   https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-05-22/electric-cars-are-about-to-start-rolling-out-of-the-arizona-desert     CONNECTED EVS COULD HELP POWER THE GRID: CALIFORNIA UTILITY STUDIES HOW "Southern California Edison (SCE) plans to launch a demonstration project for "vehicle-to-grid" or "V2G" technology, in which vehicles both charge and discharge power to the grid. More than 200,000 electric cars are currently on the road in SCE's service area, and 700,000 in the entire state of California, a press release from the utility said. A car with a 100-kilowatt-hour battery pack—the size pack used in the Tesla Model S and Model X—could power an average California household for nearly a week, according to SCE." Says Green Car Reports: "The demonstration project aims to see if V2G could lower customers' electric bills in exchange from energy supplied from their cars while connected to the grid. The project will also look at standardization of equipment needed to connect cars to the grid."   https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1128252_connected-evs-could-help-power-the-grid-california-utility-studies-how   SOLAR ENERGY FARMS COULD OFFER SECOND LIFE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE BATTERIES "As electric vehicles rapidly grow in popularity worldwide, there will soon be a wave of used batteries whose performance is no longer sufficient for vehicles that need reliable acceleration and range. But a new study shows that these batteries could still have a useful and profitable second life as backup storage for grid-scale solar photovoltaic installations, where they could perform for more than a decade in this less demanding role." According to ScienceBlog: "The study, published in the journal Applied Energy, was carried out by six current and former MIT researchers. A recent report from McKinsey Corp. shows that as demand for backup storage for renewable energy projects grows between now and 2030, second use EV batteries could potentially meet half of that demand, Mathews says. Some EV companies, he says, including Rivian, founded by an MIT alumnus, are already designing their battery packs specifically to make this end-of-life repurposing as easy as possible."   https://scienceblog.com/516548/solar-energy-farms-could-offer-second-life-for-electric-vehicle-batteries/   RENAULT LAUNCHES ZITY ELECTRIC CAR SHARING SERVICE IN PARIS Groupe Renault continues the operational deployment of the ZITY electric car-sharing service in Paris. From May 20th, a fleet of 500 100% electric Renault ZOE cars is available to Parisians on a self-service basis. The launch of this service, announced in March and suspended due to containment measures, is being carried out in accordance with the recommendations defined in the national sanitary protocol for exiting containment defined by the Ministry of Transport. Thanks to the ZITY mobile application, users can view on a map, at any time of the day or night, the vehicle closest to their position. Reservation is instantaneous and the vehicle is unlocked via the application. To end the rental, the vehicle must be parked in Paris, on any public square above ground and locked. A guaranteed battery level displayed thanks to the on-board technology in the Renault ZOE ZITY allows all the information on the dashboard, including the battery level, to be displayed in real time. Below the minimum required level, the vehicle is no longer available for hire and is quickly recharged by the ZITY teams.   QUESTION OF THE WEEK   Should Dyson have continued to make a £150,000 EV, or should we only make EVs realistic?

Gudrun sprach im März 2020 mit Nicole Ludwig. Sie ist eine Kollegin am KIT am Campus Nord und gehört dem Institut für Automation und angewandte Informatik an. Sie war Mitglied des DFG Graduiertenkollegs Energiezustandsdaten Informatikmethoden zur Analyse, Erfassung und Nutzung und ist dabei, ihre Promotion abzuschließen. Im Studium wurde sie von den Themen der Ökonometrie und Statistik eingefangen und von der Freude, aus empirischen Daten verlässliche Ergebnisse ableiten zu können. Sie hat schon in ihrer Bachelorarbeit Maschinelles Lernen für Prognosen benutzt. Deshalb war es sehr spannend für sie, diese Kenntnisse und ihre Freude am Thema in das Graduiertenkolleg zu Energiedaten und Informatik einzubringen. Als Gesellschaft müssen wir in naher Zukunft eine Energieproduktion ohne fossile Brennstoffe erreichen. Es ist jedoch nötig, beim Nutzen von erneuerbaren Energien im Vergleich zu konventioneller Energieerzeugung umzulernen, um einerseits für eine stabile Versorgung von Wirtschaft und Haushalten zu sorgen und andererseits dabei alle Lasten der nötigen Veränderungen fair zu verteilen. Es gibt zwei Möglichkeiten, die Energieproduktion zu optimieren. Zum einen können wir den Produktionszeitplan besser auf die Nachfrage abstimmen. Zum anderen können wir das Verbrauchsverhalten ändern, um eine optimale Versorgungsstrategie zu unterstützen. Traditionell kennt man Prognosen für die Energienachfrage in unterschiedlichen Zeithorizonten und macht diese zur Grundlage für Produktionspläne. Mit einer zunehmenden und sich ändernden Menge an Variablen, die das System beeinflussen, sind perfekte Vorhersagen jedoch sehr unrealistisch und wahrscheinlich nicht der richtige Ansatz für die Zukunft. Man muss sich hierzu nur vor Augen halten, dass die Energieernte sowohl bei Windkraft als auch für Solarstrom stark vom Wetter abhängen. Wenn auch die Wettervorhersage schon sehr viel besser geworden ist, so ist es doch noch nicht möglich, auf ihrer Grundlage hinreichend sichere Vorhersagen für die Energieerzeugung machen zu können. Andererseits gibt es heute auch bessere Möglichkeiten, die Energieabnahme zumindest im Prinzip von außen zu steuern. Das was früher als Nachtstrom die Abnahme von Stromspitzen mit niedrigen Preisen versüßte, kann heute ganz regional und sich täglich anpassend nicht nur in Betrieben sondern sogar im Haushalt steuern, wann beispielsweise die Waschmaschine läuft oder ein Warmwasserspeicher lädt. Bald kann auch die Flotte an E-Fahrzeugen mit ihren Akkumulatoren Energie zum passenden Zeitpunkt abnehmen und auch in Spitzenzeiten wieder abgeben. Die Gesetzgebung ist hier noch nicht so weit wie die technischen Möglichkeiten. Aber man muss sicher auch noch einmal gründlich darüber nachdenken, in welcher Art und Weise man Personen dazu zwingen will, Daten dafür zur Verfügung zu stellen und wie man sie anschließend vor dem Missbrauch dieses Wissens durch Unbefugte schützen kann. Schon heute ist die Energieversorgung viel verwundbarer durch Angriffe von Hackern als wir uns eingestehen wollen. Prinzipiell liegen aber - schon allein in Bezug auf Wetterdaten - aber auch in feingranularem Wissen über Energieverbrauch - sehr viele Daten vor, die man nutzen kann, um neuartige Prognosen zu erarbeiten. Man geht also über von rein Physik-basierten Modellen und Expertenwissen über zu neuronalen Netzen und Datamining. Diese arbeiten natürlich nicht sinnvoll ohne den Expertenblick, denn welche Fragen die vorliegenden Daten sinnvoll und recht sicher beantworten können, ist naiv geplant sicher nicht möglich. Nicole gefällt es gut, an der Schnittstelle sehr unterschiedlicher Wissensgebiete (Wirtschaft, Physik/Meteorologie, Ingenieurswissenschaft und Informatik) zu forschen.

Gudrun talks to Zaheer Ahamed about the influence of an increasing number of Electric vehicles (EV) to the electrical grid. Zaheer just finished the ENTECH Master's program. He started it with his first year at the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT) and continued in Uppsala University for the second year.Gudrun was part of the grading process of Zaheer's master thesis "Estimating Balancing Capacities of Electric Vehicles on the German and Swedish grids in 2030". The rising awareness of pollution from transport is leading to innovations within the transport sector. At the moment EVs are the leading technology. With many countries Germany and Sweden joined the so-called EV30@30 campaign, aiming for 30% of new vehicles sales to be electric by 2030. These ambitions alongside an ever increasing capacity of variable renewable energy sources (RES) in our power systems, pose a concerning challenge for Transmission systems operators (TSO) to maintain proper power system operation. Imbalances between supply and demand are undesirable in any electrical power system and with the rising popularity of EVs and RES such events are only expected to continue or increase.Fortunately, with the recent development of Vehicle to grid (V2G) concepts as well as extensive studies into the load-shifting potential of EVs, EVs presents an interesting solution for power system balancing distributed energy storage system. Zaheer's study showed that EV are capable of balancing the grid for approximately 60% of the time providing 55-60% of the total balancing energy required. However, the operation also took heavy toll on the EV’s battery performance as it could potentially reduce its life to a 1/7th of its original lifetime.
