  • Wind Energy in the UK
    Wind Energy in the United Kingdom: Modelling the Effect of Increases in Installed Capacity on Generation Efficiencies Anthony D Stephens and David R Walwyn Correspondence to [email protected] Abstract The decision by the government in December 2007 that the United Kingdom (UK) should build a 33 gigawatt wind fleet, capable of generating about 10 gigawatts or 25% of the country’s electricity total requirement, was a controversial one. Proponents argued that it was the most attractive means of lowering the country’s greenhouse gas emissions, whereas opponents noted that it would result in an unnecessary and burdensome additional expense to UK industry and households. Subsequently there have been calls for the wind fleet target to be further increased to perhaps 50% of demand. Although the National Grid has had little difficulty in accommodating the current output of about 10% of the total demand on the grid, this will not be the case for a substantially larger wind fleet. When the wind blows strongly, turbines shed wind/energy which is surplus to demand, leading to significant reductions in generating efficiencies. The purpose of the research described in this paper has been to develop a method for investigating the likely performance of future large UK wind fleets. The method relies on the use of mathematical models based on National Grid records for 2013 to 2015, each year being separately analysed. It was found that the three models derived using 2013, 2014 and 2015 data were sensibly the same, despite a 30% increase in installed capacity over this period. Importantly the predictions were either relatively insensitive to, or could compensate for, perturbations likely to be seen by the grid in future, indicating that the model from a single year’s records should have wide applicability as a predictive tool.

    Name: Datin Paduka Hajah Adina Othman Position: Deputy Minister, Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports Country of Origin: Brunei Biography: ADINA OTHMAN is the Deputy Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports since May 2010. She graduated from University of Kent, and University College, London in 1977 and 1980 respectively. Her working experiences encompass the fields of culture, youth and sports and community development. She is also a former Commissioner for ASEAN Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and Children. She is a leading proponent on the rights of women and children and other vulnerable groups and delivered various papers in areas covering Community Development and Women issues. It is an undeniable fact that in order to achieve real and lasting progress, women must be placed at the forefront of the socio-economic agenda. Empowering women is key towards a more sustainable and better quality of life for all. Our presence here today and our achievement to date is living testament of that fact. It is therefore a privilege and an honour for me to be among the contributors of such progress at the World Assembly for Women in Tokyo 2014. This Assembly allows us to reaffirm our commitment to the continued participation of women and press towards a more equitable society for us all. I wish to congratulate Japan for organizing such a prestigious event and pray that the successful convening of WAW! Tokyo 2014 would spur women’s power from strength to strength for the benefit of all – men, women and children and towards enhancing greater peace and understanding in the world.

  • Men and Women Working Together for Real Change
    Men and women working together for real change 31 May 2016 The 30% Club . The 30% Club is a group of Chairs and CEOs taking action to create a better balance of men and women at all levels of their organisations as a business imperative rather than a ‘women’s issue’ . The Club launched in the UK in 2010 with a goal of a minimum of 30% women on FTSE-100 boards. There are now 194 members of the UK Club and the proportion of female FTSE-100 directors has risen from 12.5% to 26% . As of 2016 we have extended the scope of the above target and the goal is a minimum of 30% women on FTSE- 350 boards by end 2020 (currently at 22.2%) . In tandem with this – and in order to ensure that this 30% remains sustainable – we are also aiming to reach a minimum of 30% women on Executive Committees of FTSE-100 companies by 2020 (currently at circa 15%). The 30% Club is becoming an international community. It complements and amplifies individual company efforts and existing groups through collaboration, measurable goals and joined-up actions . The 30% Club does not believe in mandatory quotas. Instead, the 30% Club is aiming for meaningful, sustainable, business-led change, as recommended by Lord Davies . Scarce representation of women at senior levels is a global phenomenon. Local 30% Clubs have been launched in the US, Hong Kong, Ireland, Southern Africa, Australia, Malaysia, Canada, Italy and the GCC.

The proportion of female directors of our top companies has increased from 6.9% in 1999 to 11.7% now. But many British boardrooms are still no-go areas for women. Women are important consumers and employees. What does it say to women in a company if all the key decisions in the boardroom are taken by men? We’ll never get truly family-friendly workplaces from male dominated boards. The male domination of the banking and finance industry should cause a pause for reflection. Britain needs women in the boardroom. This year’s Female FTSE index is a reminder that we have come a long way, but have much further to go.
