Energy Internet and eVehicles Overview

Governments around the world are wrestling with the challenge of how to prepare society for inevitable climate change. To date most people have been focused on how to reduce Green House Gas emissions, but now there is growing recognition that regardless of what we do to mitigate against climate change the planet is going to be significantly warmer in the coming years with all the attendant problems of more frequent droughts, flooding, sever storms, etc. As such we need to invest in solutions that provide a more robust and resilient infrastructure to withstand this environmental onslaught especially for our electrical and telecommunications systems and at the same time reduce our carbon footprint.

Linking renewable energy with high speed Internet using fiber to the home combined with autonomous eVehicles and dynamic charging where vehicle's batteries are charged as it travels along the road, may provide for a whole new "energy Internet" infrastructure for linking small distributed renewable energy sources to users that is far more robust and resilient to survive climate change than today's centralized command and control infrastructure. These new energy architectures will also significantly reduce our carbon footprint. For more details please see:

Big Science and Sustainable Energy - Second annual workshop

I am pleased to see that CERN is hosting the second annual workshop on Big Science and Sustainable Energy at http://goo.gl/2X8d1U.   Big science is a voracious consumer of energy.  A large part of this consumption is from the high performance computing requirements to process all the data generated by Big Science. Given the predicted fragility of the electrical grid due to increased adverse weather brought on by global warming, it is heartening to see some scientists and engineers looking at renewable energy, and alternate architectures for processing the data.
