Connectivity and Autonomy Many of the challenges towards the deployment of Connected and Automated Driving (CAD) need to be addressed with an international mind set. It is very important to develop and maintain close information exchange among the regions of the world to exchange knowledge and best practices from existing research programs. The European Commission (EC), the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) and the Japanese Road Bureau of Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) have a long history of sharing information on ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) activities. The EU-US-JP Trilateral Automation in Road Transportation Working Group has been especially active with Canada, Korean and Australia joining the group since 2013. The concept of “twinning arrangements” for CAD projects is being setup, initially between Europe and US, to consolidate the collaboration and broaden the impact of research efforts around the world. Further twinning is being considered with other regions. This session provides an overview of the ongoing research programs in US, Europe, Japan, Canada, Korea and Australia with discussions on future collaboration opportunities.

Connectivity and Autonomy Reference architectures are effective tools used by designers and implementers to ensure consistent, interoperable, well-engineered, comprehensive large-scale technology deployments. Harmonization Task Group 7 has developed a Harmonized Architecture Reference for Technical Standards (HARTS) to guide implementers from an overall large-scale C-ITS deployment architecture to a concept of an ITS service and then down to the individual standards they need to deploy while also alerting them to known issues. The Task Force, an international collaboration, has used this harmonized architecture superset to document where standards are needed throughout a C-ITS environment and to analyze gaps. Work to describe those gaps will be nearing completion and the Task Group is interested in gathering stakeholder and expert feedback on the analysis results as well as gaining input on next steps. This interactive session will describe the Group’s approach to the analysis and provide results-to-date. Organizer Wolfgang Hoefs, European Commission, Belgium Moderator Suzanne Sloan, U.S. Department of Transportation, United States Speakers Tom Lusco, Iteris, United States Knut Evensen, Q-Free, Norway SIS04 - Is MaaS Real or a Utopian Dream? Sunday 29 October 2017, 12:00 - 13:30 (514 BC) █ Topic: B. Infrastructure Challenges and Opportunities This session will focus on a hot topic: the push to share mobility data and to integrate mobility information and services. But behind the hype, how is it really playing out? Is Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) a pipe dream or realistic? What MaaS business models are working today and how will this change over the next several years? While there are some success stories, there are many barriers and challenges to a true MaaS model, including the scale and complexity of countries and organizations and traditional silos within and between public and private sector information and services. How can cities integrate MaaS across conventional mobility services such as metro lines, rail, taxis, and buses with new services such as parking, bike share, car/ride sharing, and other services? Panelists will share their success stories and learnings on how they have—or are planning to—overcome barriers that will enable them to provide innovative mobility services.

Smart(er) Cities In recent years, with the ever-decreasing cost of OBU, the realization of mass adoption of ETC has become famous and popular. With nearly all vehicles with OBU installed based on ETC as the fundamental infrastructure, support for the Internet of Things (IoT), Smart City and Smart Service—such as smart payment, smart parking, smart security and smart safety—can be accomplished. But smart application based on ETC is not restricted to highway tolling. It can be used to transform the lives of the average citizen and allows for vast potential growth in the application of smart urban service planning and application, offering more efficient and transformative implementation of new technology in metropolitan areas. Full-scale implementation of digital transformation like this could go a long way towards the contribution of long-term growth for our societal economy and integrated smart ecosystem development.

Disruption and New Business Models Incentives are well-known instruments to effectively change transport choices and contribute to more sustainable and efficient transport systems. New ITS solutions and applications on personal mobile devices allow for a more targeted and personalized deployment of incentives. The resulting business intelligence and policy relevant travel data furthermore supports new business models for deploying incentive policies long term in cooperation between the public and private sector. This session will make use of concrete case studies from Europe and the US. It will also bring together those who work on the interfaces between ITS and transport planners as well as other relevant expertise to

  • Can Brazil Replicate China's Successful Solar Industry?
    Can Brazil replicate China’s successful solar industry? He Nuoshu and Fabio Couto Jr. A solar power station in Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, southeast China (Image: Zhiyong Fu / Greenpeace) China’s booming solar market offers many lessons for other emerging economies This report examines the shared experiences of China and Brazil in both nations’ efforts to develop domestic solar industries. The report, which synthesises two articles and includes policy recommendations borrowed from the Chinese experience, first appeared on Diálogo Chino and is published in partnership with Instituto Clima e Sociedade (ICS). History China’s solar power sector started to boom in recent years – not only in manufacturing, but also in domestic installations – thanks to strong government backing and a favourable policy environment. The rate of growth has stunned the world, as has the falling cost, beating expectations even of industry insiders. By the end of 2015, China had 43 gigawatts of installed solar power, and had overtaken Germany, another country that saw strong industrial policy supporting solar power, as the global leader. Last year, eight of the top-10 solar PV module manufacturers were Chinese. But the history is a longer one. The Chinese government has supported research and development (R&D) on solar PV since the 1950s, mainly for its uses in space. A PV module manufacturing industry developed during the 1990s. It remained small and of variable quality but became a crucial part of providing energy access to remote communities. The Brightness Programme, launched in 1996, was the first national policy to bring electricity access to off-grid areas of western China using renewable energy.

  • LCOE Analysis of Tower Concentrating Solar Power Plants Using Different Molten-Salts for Thermal Energy Storage in China
    energies Article LCOE Analysis of Tower Concentrating Solar Power Plants Using Different Molten-Salts for Thermal Energy Storage in China Xiaoru Zhuang, Xinhai Xu * , Wenrui Liu and Wenfu Xu School of Mechanical Engineering and Automation, Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen 518055, China; [email protected] (X.Z.); [email protected] (W.L.); [email protected] (W.X.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 11 March 2019; Accepted: 8 April 2019; Published: 11 April 2019 Abstract: In recent years, the Chinese government has vigorously promoted the development of concentrating solar power (CSP) technology. For the commercialization of CSP technology, economically competitive costs of electricity generation is one of the major obstacles. However, studies of electricity generation cost analysis for CSP systems in China, particularly for the tower systems, are quite limited. This paper conducts an economic analysis by applying a levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) model for 100 MW tower CSP plants in five locations in China with four different molten-salts for thermal energy storage (TES). The results show that it is inappropriate to build a tower CSP plant nearby Shenzhen and Shanghai. The solar salt (NaNO3-KNO3, 60-40 wt.%) has lower LCOE than the other three new molten-salts. In order to calculate the time when the grid parity would be reached, four scenarios for CSP development roadmap proposed by International Energy Agency (IEA) were considered in this study. It was found that the LCOE of tower CSP would reach the grid parity in the years of 2038–2041 in the case of no future penalties for the CO2 emissions.
