Most POWER readers are probably familiar with levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and levelized value of energy (LVOE) as metrics used to help evaluate potential power plant investment options. LCOE measures the average net present cost of electricity generation over a facility's lifetime. It includes capital costs, fuel costs, operation and maintenance (O&M) costs, financing costs, expected capacity factor, and project lifetime. Meanwhile, LVOE goes beyond LCOE by considering the actual value the power provides to the grid, including time of generation (peak vs. off-peak), location value, grid integration costs and benefits, contributions to system reliability, environmental attributes, and capacity value. Some of the key differences stem from the perspective and market context each provides. LCOE, for example, focuses on pure cost comparison between technologies, while LVOE evaluates actual worth to the power system. Notably, LCOE ignores when and where power is generated; whereas, LVOE accounts for temporal and locational value variations. Concerning system integration, LCOE treats all generation as equally valuable, while LVOE considers grid integration costs and system needs. “Things like levelized cost of energy or capacity factors are probably the wrong measure to use in many of these markets,” Karl Meeusen, director of Markets, Legislative, and Regulatory Policy with Wärtsilä North America, said as a guest on The POWER Podcast. “Instead, I think one of the better metrics to start looking at and using more deeply is what we call the levelized value of energy, and that's really looking at what the prices at the location where you're trying to build that resource are going to be.” Wärtsilä is a company headquartered in Finland that provides innovative technologies and lifecycle solutions for the marine and energy markets. Among its main offerings are reciprocating engines that can operate on a variety of fuels for use in electric power generating plants. Wärtsilä has modeled different power systems in almost 200 markets around the world. It says the data consistently shows that a small number of grid-balancing gas engines in a system can provide the balancing and flexibility to enable renewables to flourish—all while maintaining reliable, resilient, and affordable electricity. Meeusen noted that a lot of the models find engines offer greater value than other technologies on the system because of their flexibility, even though they may operate at lower capacity factors. Having the ability to turn on and off allows owners to capture high price intervals, where prices spike because of scarcity or ramp shortages, while avoiding negative prices by turning off as prices start to dip and drop lower. “That levelized value is one of the things that we think is really important going forward,” he said. “I think what a lot of models and planning scenarios miss when they look at something like LCOE—and they're looking at a single resource added into the system—is how it fits within the system, and what does it do to the value of the rest of their portfolio?” Meeusen explained. “I call this: thinking about the cannibalistic costs. If I look at an LCOE with a capacity factor for a combined cycle resource, and don't consider how that might impact or increase the curtailment of renewable energy—no cost renewable energy—I don't really necessarily see the true cost of some of those larger, inflexible generators on the system. And, so, when we think about that, we really want to make sure that what we're covering and capturing is the true value that a generator has in a portfolio, not just as a standalone resource.”

In today's episode, we discuss the science of human decision-making and behavior with Dan Ariely, a world-renowned expert in psychology and behavioral economics. As the James B. Duke Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics at Duke University, Dan has dedicated his career to uncovering the irrational patterns that drive our decisions. He's the author of multiple bestselling books, including Predictably Irrational, The Upside of Irrationality, and The Honest Truth About Dishonesty, where he explores the predictable mistakes we make and how understanding them can lead to better outcomes in life, business, and relationships.  Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Dan Ariely as he explores the hidden biases and patterns that influence our decisions, from everyday choices to life-altering moments. Why do we often invest more time deciding on small purchases than major life decisions? How does regret shape our behavior, and why do we favor inaction over action? Dan shares powerful insights into the psychological forces at play in our decision-making, the tension between market and social norms, and how to build habits and environments that support better outcomes.  What to Listen For Introduction – 00:00:00 What is regret, and how does it bias us toward inaction over action? How did Dan's experience in the hospital lead to groundbreaking research on irrational behaviors? Why do people spend more time on medium-sized decisions than life-changing ones like marriage or buying a house? What does Dan's research reveal about indecision and its long-term costs? Overcoming Indecision and the Role of Regret – 00:07:24 How does regret influence our tendency to avoid taking action? What mental strategies can we use to frame decisions more effectively and reduce indecision? Why is setting a deadline a critical tool for making tough choices? Building Habits and Simplifying Decisions – 00:17:45 Why is it essential to focus on process rather than outcome when evaluating decisions? How can creating rituals and habits reduce decision fatigue and lead to better outcomes? What are Dan's personal strategies for avoiding temptation and building productive habits? Market Norms vs. Social Norms – 00:31:56 What are market norms and social norms, and why do they often conflict? How can introducing financial incentives harm social motivations? Why is it difficult to shift back to social norms once market norms dominate a relationship? Trust, Relationships, and Long-Term Success – 00:40:02 How does trust develop in long-term relationships, and why does it thrive under social norms? What role does empathy play in fostering trust and cooperation? Why are open-ended interactions more effective at building trust than transactional exchanges? Actionable Insights for Better Decision-Making – 00:46:00 How can we overcome regret, procrastination, and indecision in daily life? Why should we prioritize the quality of our decision-making process over the unpredictability of outcomes?

What if the secret to conquering chaos, leading with confidence, and transforming stress into ease was as simple as your next breath? This week on the podcast, I sat down with breathwork expert Samantha Skelly to uncover the transformative power of intentional breathing. As the Founder of Pause Breathwork, Samantha Skelly is on a mission to help others unlock their infinite potential though breathwork. And her next big focus is making breathwork accessible & affordable to humanity, worldwide. From hilariously relatable mishaps (like sending a 10-year-old email to thousands) to life-changing strategies for managing energy and embracing joy, Samantha shared tools that could shift how we approach work, leadership, and even self-healing. Here were some of my favorite topics that we covered in the episode:  1. Managing Emotions Through Breathwork Samantha introduces the concept of consciously choosing your breath pattern to influence how you feel. Instead of letting anxiety take control, she suggests asking yourself what you want to feel, like confidence or clarity, and then adjusting your breath accordingly. By using deep, intentional breaths, you can activate the parasympathetic nervous system (the “rest and digest” state), helping you feel grounded, even in high-stress moments. Btw, if you're looking for another breathwork expert on the pod, I think you'll love this one with Erin Telford: The Art of Breathwork: Mastering Self-Love and Living Fully with Erin Telford 2. Real-Life Example of Breathwork Samantha recounts an intense experience right before recording this episode, where an old, out-of-date email was accidentally sent to her entire mailing list. She describes feeling an initial surge of rage, then using breathwork to regain her composure and approach the situation with clarity. By taking two deep breaths and extending the exhale, she shifted from a “fight-or-flight” response to a calmer, problem-solving mindset.  3. Shifting Mindsets from Stress to Ease I reflect on my own experience with stress in building my company, improve it!, sharing how I used to view stress as a badge of hard work. In response, Samantha offers a framework called LIFE: Lucrative, Impactful, Fun, and Easy. She encourages business owners to allow success to feel easy and fulfilling instead of always hard-earned, emphasizing the importance of self-love and creating a business model that sustains rather than drains energy. For all things breathwork and how to start incorporating it into your daily routine (and why you should!), listen to the full episode. It'll blow your mind with how simple it is + the impacts it can have.   No, You Hang Up First (Let's Keep Connecting) Did today's episode resonate with you?

"What pulls the rope in most workplaces is the elevation and promotion of self (ego), not the elevation of others, purpose, heart, and mind (soul). It's no wonder that people feel so alone in most workplaces today. Interconnectedness gets lost when you have a team or company of people who are making decisions based on their ego's needs: What would be best for their own personal goals, not their co-workers' goals; what would be best for their personal image, not their team's."- Mike Metcalf & Shaun Peet, “12 Second Culture”“Three eggs, over medium, cooked in olive oil if you can, please.” That's what I said an hour into a breakfast meeting last week.  I read somewhere that more olive oil is good for my cholesterol. I'm not sure if that is true, but I like the taste, and it reminds me of Spain.My breakfast was with someone special. The kind of person who has succeeded at the highest levels but still shows up fully present and humble. Maybe you've met the type. They don't take their eyes off you or look at their phone. They spend more time listening than talking. They radiate care and love. Somehow, you feel like you got better after spending time with them - absorbing some of them. Two hours later, that's how I felt. One lesson from him stood out: Live on the margins, be the 1%First, we aren't talking about 1% in the context of money. We're talking about mastery of your craft and your humanity. As we move through life, we use our experience and mental models to decipher the world and make decisions. Essentially, we apply a lens to each situation, and those lenses help us determine what action we take. What my new friend taught me is what I'd describe as the 1% lens.* In your mind, draw a large circle and write 80% in the middle of that circle with the word “most.”* Draw another circle around that first circle. Write 15% somewhere  with the word “some.”* Then, draw another and write 4% and “very few.”* Finally, draw a final circle around those three circles and write 1% with the words “almost no one.”You should have something like an inverted archery target, with 80% being a large inner circle and 1% being the outermost circle.These circles represent the types of choices we make in the effort to get better. Most people will choose comfort. Some will do a little more. Very few will choose pain or possible failure. And almost no one is willing to go all the way out to the margin.Choices:* Sleep in or workout* Scroll social or read a book* Roller bag or farmers carry a duffle bag* Shuffle emails or block four hours for deep work* Book another meeting or surprise your kid for an after-school ice cream date* Do that thing that scares you but puts at risk your status and resourcesWhat would the 1% do?Like you, I want to find my potential—as a professional and a human. To do that, I need to keep moving out to the margins. I need to go from doing what most will do to doing what almost no one will do.The farther we go from the crowd, the scary it gets - it's lonely out there. Potentially, it means being “weird,” looking foolish, failing, and asking for help.  You can stay in that center, that comfortable 80%, or move out to that 1%. That's where better happens - on the margins.Put on those 1% glasses. Live on the margins, friend. Don't do it for “me” do it for “we.” I hope you're good.

Our brain uses mental shortcuts to help us solve problems. While they can be quite helpful, in some areas they may harm our decision making us. Social Security claiming is often one of these negatively impacted areas. In this episode, hear Tyler Emrick, CFA®, CFP®, discuss the mental shortcuts (aka cognitive biases) at play when de-ciding to take your Social Security benefits. Being cognizant and acting with a more prudent decision-making process will likely help you realize a better outcome and improved retirement.   Here's some of what we discuss in this episode: Optimism and pessimism bias can skew our judgments when making decisions. Present bias and temporal discounting. In the context of Social Security, this means favoring smaller payments now over larger payments later, a decision that can significantly impact long-term financial health. The anchoring effect is another critical bias discussed. This occurs when individuals rely too heavily on the first piece of information they encounter—such as the earliest age they can claim Social Security—making it challenging to adjust their plans with new information. Tyler explains the concept of delayed retirement credits and how Social Security benefits are designed to be actuarially equivalent, regardless of when you start claiming them. How Social Security is uniquely impacted by inflation and interest rates.   Have questions? Need help making sure your investments and retirement plan are on track?

This week on the Expert Voices podcast, Randy Wootton, CEO of Maxio, speaks with Dawoud Nasraty, Director of Consulting at Armanino. After serving as an accountant at a Big Six firm, Dawood's career trajectory includes roles for a European telecommunications company in Afghanistan and as a CFO. Dawoud and Randy talk about the intricate world of data and decision-making, the technological advancements shaping accounting practices, and lay out the essential lessons and best practices drawn from Dawood's extensive stint as both a consultant and an in-house financial controller. They also discuss the necessity of solid infrastructural investment and why startups often fail without robust financial systems. Quotes“Sound metrics built on sound data. And a lot of companies that get started, not all, but a lot of them, in the beginning, don't pay as much attention to the back office, the finance, and accounting. So it's important, like finance and accounting takes like second or third place, but it's important to establish a solid foundation in that area sooner than later, not too early, but not too late. So the CFO, the CFO needs to encourage investment in the finance function at different stages in the company's life cycle.” -Dawoud Nasraty [18:18]“Someone once said to me that the number one deal killer in M&A is accounting issues and that's because companies haven't done the work, hiring professional consultants, advisors, fractional CFOs to come in and help put the systems in place so the data works and so that they can represent the reports.” -Randy Wootton [11:41]Expert Takeaways Establishing strong finance and accounting foundations early is critical for startups to manage reporting and withstand investor scrutiny effectively.A coordinated system of record is essential for assembling a 'single source of truth' that facilitates accurate decision-making.Overlooking the importance of meticulous financial management and data integrity can lead companies toward a wind-down state.Implementing effective technologies can change the game for SaaS companies in aligning with sales teams and managing cash flows.Learning from failures and 'worst practices' informs better approaches and readiness for future business challenges.Timestamps(00:39) Dawoud's background(06:10) Working with a startup company and setting up accounting systems(12:29) Good data and its role in statistics, finance, and economics(18:08) Sound metrics are built on sound data(24:21) The challenge of transitioning from spreadsheets to a solid tech platform(29:08) The impact of revenue recognition on business metrics(31:11) The need for a thoughtful approach to data managementLinksMAXIOUpcoming EventsMaxio Institute ReportRandy Wootton LinkedInDawoud Nasraty LinkedIn

Join us as we dissect the necessity for leaders to evolve their perspectives in the face of complex challenges, emphasizing how personal experiences and biases can both hinder and broaden our approach to problem-solving.

Show Notes: 00:00:00 - Introduction, In this episode, Melina Palmer interviews Paul Bloom, author of the book Psych. They discuss Paul's background and his interest in developmental psychology. 00:05:01 - Innate Knowledge in Children, Paul highlights the fascinating discoveries made in developmental psychology, such as young babies' innate understanding of the physical and social world. He emphasizes the importance of giving developmental psychology more recognition. 00:07:25 - Humor in Children, While not a focus of his research, Paul acknowledges the significance of humor in children's development. He mentions that incongruity and context play a role in what makes us laugh. 00:10:09 - The Origins of Psych, Paul shares the history of his popular psychology class at Yale and how it led to the creation of the book "Psych." He wanted to reach a larger audience and provide more in-depth information than what could be covered in the course. 00:11:21 - Writing Psych, Paul explains that he wrote Psych based on his course materials and transcribed notes. He aimed to make the book accessible and informative, expanding on the topics covered in the course. 00:14:50 - The Writing Process, Paul and Melina discuss their writing processes and how they approach the task of writing. They touch on topics such as word count, finding inspiration, and managing distractions. 00:16:00 - Different Approaches to Writing, Paul and Melina compare their different approaches to writing. One prefers to work in condensed chunks of time, while the other works in shorter bursts with frequent breaks. They discuss the benefits and challenges of each method. 00:18:20 - Making Writing Fun, Melina highlights the importance of making writing fun and engaging.

Intuition is a powerful tool that takes practice to fully unlock. The #1 way to get better at deploying intuition is by not shutting it down. Today's video is an interview I did on The Big Fish Cares Podcast with Benjamin Fisher. I share my thoughts on the importance of balancing your heart with your mind when making decisions, how you can practice kindness and intuition, and the importance of making mistakes to learn from them without over-judging yourself for these mistakes.

3 big ideas discussed in this episode: Values underlie every decision we make. Understanding what you value can help you make better choices and decisions. Be VERY detailed in your goal setting. Then work backwards until you reach the smallest element of your goal that you can do today where you CAN'T FAIL. Then work back up the chain until you achieve your goal. Leadership is often seen by people as taking charge and expecting people to follow. While there are at least 10 major leadership styles, the Servant-Leader model often works best as it inspires people to follow you because they know you are willing to serve/work with them.

If you ran a survey at a science fiction convention to find out which movies were most popular with the general public, chances are good that the results would lean heavily towards sci-fi films. This skewing of data is plain to see in this context, but in many others it's less obvious and potentially more pernicious.In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, we look at a bias that can distort information that we gather from the world around us.First, W. Joseph Campbell tells the story of the infamous Literary Digest election poll of 1936. The publication had correctly predicted several presidential elections in the 1920s and '30s and was considered the most reputable pollster of its day. They sent millions of surveys to people across the United States in advance of the 1936 election. But this time, their predictions couldn't have been further from the results.W. Joseph Campbell is a professor of communications at American University and author of Lost in a Gallup: Polling Failure in U.S. Presidential Elections.Next, Katy speaks with Emily Oster about research that shows how a bias in the way information is collected and presented can affect many decisions, especially ones related to health and parenting. You can read more in her latest book, The Family Firm: A Data-Driven Guide to Better Decision Making in the Early School Years.Emily Oster is the JJE Goldman Sachs University Professor of Economics at Brown University.Choiceology is an original podcast from Charles Schwab.
