Batteries as a service: a new look at electricity peak demand management for houses in the UK
No full textTesla recently introduced its Powerwall line of batteries, aimed at a sector of housing with solar electricity installed. This paper considers the economics behind mass introduction of batteries in the housing sector in the UK from the perspective of peak demand management. Utilities use differential tariffs (such as the Economy 7 tariff on Southern Electric in the UK) to encourage more homogeneous loads. Given current costs of battery systems, this work considers the rates of return that may be possible by buying electricity from the grid in times of low demand, and reselling at peak demand from the perspective of an average UK household. We consider the regulatory framework that would have to be in place to make this feasible and look at the effect a mass uptake of battery technology would have on peak demand management in the UK scenario. Overall however, it is found to not be economically feasible at current prices without heavy government subsidies
Social Urban Metabolism Strategies (SUMS) for Cities
No full textThe city is where important exchanges of resources occur, but where what is received from the environment differs greatly from what is returned to it. Energy, water, materials and food are received, yet other waste energy, wastewater, waste materials and organic waste are returned. In nature waste equals food, where circular metabolisms enable resources to be reinvested. In cities in developing countries, not only are resources wasted, but also many people are left out of the value chain. In this paper a Social Urban Metabolism Strategy (SUMS) for Cities is proposed, where through establishing urban metabolism systems marginal communities become part of the value chain. A hypothetical case study is carried out for Quito, Ecuador. First, residential organic waste is mobilized to produce biogas for electricity generation. Second, the micro-plant is located in a community in need of economic regeneration. Third, Quito increases its own electricity generation capacity
Know your people: social research and water recycling system design with communities in the Amazon
No full textThis paper sets out to answer the research question: What differences come about when water-recycling strategies are adapted to the local cultural context? It is argued that water management systems should be circular metabolisms, where wastewater is mobilized as a nutrition source. The aim is to propose water-recycling strategies at a micro level that reflect this. However, water-recycling systems are dependent on a complex set of social factors as to their acceptance/refusal and correct/incorrect use by the end users. This is particularly the case in Ecuador, where a plethora of variations in climates and cultures means that each project is different. This study proposes a qualitative methodology for the development of water-recycling strategies, where semi-structured interviews are first carried out to determine the design parameters of the specific social context where the project is to be implemented. Based on this, a water-recycling system can be proposed that is more likely to be readily accepted by the end users. The paper works with four of case studies, where the methodology is applied in three rural communities and an urban suburb in the Napo province of Ecuador, located in the Amazonian region. The results show that there were distinct differences in the water recycling strategies that were considered most appropriate for each case study. As such participatory design approaches can be said to be of great importance in the design of water-recycling strategies, where further work would necessary in working with the community members for the final system design

Well-known trade mark protection: confusion in EU and Japan
No full textIn this thesis concerning the protection of well-known trade marks against confusion in the European Community Trade Mark (CTM) and Japanese trademark systems, the author critically considers the difficulties in comprehensively defining ‘well-known trade mark’ in the relevant international trade mark instruments. After critical analysis of various definitions of both ‘trade mark’ and ‘well-known trade mark’, she undertakes a comparison of the definitions of the parallel concepts of ‘trade mark of repute’ and ‘syuchi-syohyo’, and also undertakes an assessment as to the extent to which these trade marks are protected against confusion and kondo in the CTM and Japanese systems, respectively. It is concluded that the protection of well- known trade marks against confusion in the CTM and Japan cannot be said to be completely clear, and the author identifies some areas for legal refor
