'Radiation clouds' could put air travellers' health at risk by DOUBLING their exposure to cosmic radioactivity


'Radiation clouds' could put air travellers' health at risk by DOUBLING their exposure to cosmic radioactivity

  • Nasa researchers flew radiation sensors onboard 264 research flights
  • On six occasions the sensors detected high levels of cosmic radiation
  • They believe that 'radiation clouds' may be trapping cosmic rays
  • High exposure to ionising radiation can cause a range of health problems, including cancer and reproductive issues

Hilton Head Island, SC - July 27 & 28, Country Club of Hilton Head
San Francisco, CA - August 8 & 9, Holiday Inn-Fisherman's Wharf
This in-depth two-day program provides a comprehensive and clear explanation of the structure, function, and current status of today's U. S. electric power industry; the fundamentals of ISO day-ahead auctions, LMP, FTRs and capacity markets; the operational and economic issues raised by the integration of solar, wind, distributed generation, and demand response power resources into the existing Power Grid; how to market and trade physical and financial electricity both within and outside an ISO footprint; and how heat-rate-linked, spark spread, and tolling deals are structured within and outside of Texas. Each part of this complex industry will be explained in step-by-step fashion and then all the pieces will be integrated using several clear cut examples so that attendees will leave with an understanding of “how it all fits together.”
The seminar also addresses the basics of the electricity futures contracts which trade on the Intercontinental ("ICE")and Chicago Mercantile ("CME") Exchanges. Click here to register.
What You Will Learn
  1. The structure and function of the electric service system, its terminology and units, and the properties of electricity.
  2. How the North American power grid is structured and how it operates; how the major sources of electric generation work ( coal, natural gas, nuclear, renewables ) and the issues they face; how control areas, spinning reserves, AGC and economic dispatch works.
  3. Who the key players in the industry are, and why the industry is so difficult to restructure.
  4. The differences between cost-of-service regulation, open access markets, ISOs, transcos, ITCs, RTOs, and ICTs.
  5. What the "smart grid" is, a summary of the different business models being tested, a discussion of the key issues and and how the smart grid is likely to develop.
  6. The major issues facing wind energy, solar and other renewables and how these generation sources relate to the proposed buildout of the backbone power grid.
  7. How ISO Day-Ahead auction markets operate in PJM, New York, Texas, California and other markets; what locational marginal pricing (LMP) is, and why it is important; how LMP is applied in the ISO markets, and why FTRs, TCCs, CRRs, TLRs, RPM and forward capacity markets are important concepts to understand. (The seminars presented at the Houston and California locations will discuss the Texas and California/Western Power markets respectively. Philadelphia, New York and Washington D.C. seminars will focus on PJM, MISO and the New York ISO.)
  8. What capacity markets and resource adequacy are, and how these important issues affect the integration of wind, solar and other renewables and how all these issues relate to demand response and the Smart Grid. You will also learn what California's new "Energy Imbalance Market" and "Duck Curve" are and why these topics are important.
You Will Also Learn
  1. The structure and characteristics of the wholesale bilateral spot and forward physical and financial power markets.
  2. The terminology, concepts and mechanics of power marketing & trading, and the difference between physical, scheduled and contract path power flows.
  3. Why open access retail electricity markets may finally now develop.
  4. The details of how to structure and execute wholesale and retail power marketing transactions both within and outside of an ISO footprint - including common contract language, NERC tags, LMP basis risk, NITS & ancillary service charges, etc.
  5. What "sellers choice is", and how forward "daisy chains" form at virtual trading hubs.
  6. How to financially trade physical power with financial bookouts.
  7. How power marketing wholesale and retail transactions are done within the ISOs, why wholesale bilateral transactions in theses markets are primarily financial, AND how each piece of end-user transactions is assembled and hedged step-by-step, including price, basis, delivery, NITs charges, UCAP charges, ancillary charges, etc.
  8. An overview of the three different types of forward electricity markets: physical, over-the-counter financial and CME & ICE electricity futures contracts.
  9. The basics of the ICE and CME electricity cash-settled futures contracts, and how these contracts can be used to hedge electricity price and LMP spread risk.
  10. How the Dodd-Frank law implementation is impacting power markets.
  11. An introduction to electricity swaps and Cfds and how these relate to ISO financial transmission rights (FTRs, CRRs and TCCs).
  12. The difference between operating, economic, market and negotiated heat rates, and what spark spreads, dark spreads, are bark spreads are.
  13. What "tolling deals" are, and how the powerful techniques of physical and financial heat-rate-linked power transactions work.
  14. Spread trading, trading around assets, how to make electricity financially "jump" between regions, and other basic power trading techniques.
  15. How a natural gas-fired generating plant is a call option on the spark spread, what "optionality" means, and a simple rule to use to optimize the economics of a merchant generating plant.

As President of the Union of Concerned Scientists, he was a dynamic leader that bolstered UCS’s scale and influence. We are delighted to welcome Kevin to our team where he will develop and lead a new initiative on the role of the private sector in energy innovation.


Research Spotlight

CPL Fellow Rishikesh Ram Bhandary is heading into the field to investigate climate finance from the vantage point of developing countries. He begins in Bangladesh where he is investigating which types of climate finance institutions are most efficient in attracting international climate finance, and which are most effective at delivering finance to implement policy. He will continue his global research later this year in Fiji, Indonesia, Brazil, Guyana and Ethiopia.  In Fiji, the Nepali-born expert will be collaborating with UNDP on a workshop with the Fiji government on how to set up climate trust funds, with special emphasis on South-South learning.
