<h4><strong>November 20, 2024</strong><br /> Should We Stay or Should We Leave? Multi-objective Tradeoffs In Identifying Robust Beach Nourishment and Managed Retreat Strategies<br /> <strong>Prabhat Hegde, PhD Candidate, Dartmouth </strong></h4> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/bfNYpVCPvXo"><b>Watch a recording of this talk.</b></a></p> <p>In some low-lying coastal areas around the world, decision-makers are beginning to consider "managed retreat" of human populations to adapt to sea-level rise. One of the main challenges in designing a managed retreat strategy is determining when to trigger retreat. Decision-makers lack tools and scientific understanding to evaluate whether the benefits of interim response strategies, like beach nourishment, outweigh the costs of waiting longer to trigger retreat.<br /> <br /> In this talk, Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth PhD candidate Prabhat Hegde will contextualize the coastal beach nourishment problem within the umbrella of decision analyses frameworks for climate change adaptation. He will demonstrate how considerations of uncertainty and multiple objectives improve upon existing decision-making practices, drastically changing expected outcomes and the recommended timing of retreat. A Q&A following the presentation will be moderated by Dartmouth Research Scientist <a href="https://sites.dartmouth.edu/huntersnyder/">Hunter Snyder</a>. </p> <p><strong>About Prabhat Hegde</strong></p> <p> </p><div class="media media-element-container media-dart_wysiwyg_width media-wysiwyg-align-left"> <div id="file-14131" class="file file-image file-image-png"> <h2 class="element-invisible">6241b3463347f7395ffe5a6f_prabhat.png</h2> <div class="content"> <img alt="Prabhat Hegde" class="media-element file-dart-wysiwyg-width" data-delta="10" src="https://irving.dartmouth.edu/sites/irving_energy.prod/files/styles/wysiwyg_width_only/public/irving_energy/wysiwyg/6241b3463347f7395ffe5a6f_prabhat.png?itok=-Eej_1kM" width="250" height="250" /> </div> </div> </div> <p>Prabhat Hegde is a graduate research assistant at the Thayer School of Engineering.

Additionally, the State has released two Greenhouse Gas Pollution Reduction Roadmaps, and the Governor released a Roadmap to Colorado's Future, each one articulating policy priorities through 2026. These plans and roadmaps outline an ambitious undertaking and present an opportunity to study the 'transit' of Colorado's Just Transition, which is to say the process, both discursive and material, by which society will (ideally) be more equitable, as it is unfolding. </p> <p>Utilizing an experimental political ecology approach, one that aims to engage directly in the process of transition, Professor Harris will discuss the experiences of three transition communities, each one dealing with the closure a coal-fired power plant. These plants are in various stages of termination, disrepair, innovation, and restoration. They represent a vision of 'transit' in which the future is being actively assembled, and each site contains the material (metal, fiberglass, and dust) and discursive (anxiety, desire, and optimism) components of transition. Taking cues from the successes of a "Tier One" community, a community on the frontlines of transition as defined by the state's action plan, Harris will conclude with some lessons about how a transition away from fossil fuels may truly be just. </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>About Dylan Harris</strong></p> <p> </p><div class="media media-element-container media-dart_wysiwyg_width media-wysiwyg-align-left"> <div id="file-13546" class="file file-image file-image-png"> <h2 class="element-invisible">harris.png</h2> <div class="content"> <img alt="Dylan Harris" class="media-element file-dart-wysiwyg-width" data-delta="9" src="https://irving.dartmouth.edu/sites/irving_energy.prod/files/styles/wysiwyg_width_only/public/irving_energy/wysiwyg/harris.png?itok=FVXPFwPA" width="250" height="250" /> </div> </div> </div> <p>Dylan M. Harris is an assistant professor of geography and environmental studies at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS). His work focuses on the stories we tell (and don't tell) about socioecological change, focusing specifically on the procedural justice elements of climate and energy justice. He is interested in work that exists at the intersection of change, drawing from what he terms experimental and speculative political ecology to critically study the unequal power structures informing many "transition" projects (e.g., carbon offsets) while also aiming to disrupt them, pointing towards more equitable possibilities, through interventionist research. </p> </div> <span class="marker"></span> </article> </div> </div> <div class="panel-pane pane-node pane-content-chunk" > <div class="pane-content"> <article class="text-chunk " aria-label="About the Series"> <h2 class="text-chunk__title">About the Series</h2> <div class="text-chunk__content"> <p>New Energy: Conversations with Early-Career Energy Researchers is an online series featuring graduate, post-doctoral, and other early-career researchers sharing their discoveries and perspectives on energy-related topics.

Most of the necessary heat is supplied by combustion of natural gas, coal, and oil. For carbon neutral production a retrofit to renewable heat sources will be key. While hydrogen as replacement fuel could be possible, it would be even better to go all electric. But high temperature processes are hard to retrofit with conventional electric heaters. For some processes, like glass melting, microwave heating is a viable alternative: It enables high energy densities, extremely fast heating, and high temperatures. It is also very complicated to implement on large scale. In this New Energy talk, Dr. Behrend will share his recent research on the topic. </p> <p><strong>About the Speaker</strong><br /> Ralph Behrend is a Research Associate and work group leader for thermo process engineering at the professorship for gas and heat technology at the Technical University Bergakademie Freiberg. He received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the Technical University Freiberg in 2023. Ralphs research is centered around high temperature processes of all kinds. Microwave heating has been part of his portfolio since his master thesis and has become the basis for glass melting applications, CFRP recycling and more. Other research includes refractories and insulation materials in high temperature processes and gasification and pyrolysis processes.</p> <h3>Wednesday, April 3, 2024</h3> <p> </p><div class="media media-element-container media-dart_wysiwyg_width media-wysiwyg-align-left"> <div id="file-13321" class="file file-image file-image-jpeg"> <h2 class="element-invisible">22850145-3f8a-4da3-8db2-300cb41ffbae.jpg</h2> <div class="content"> <img alt="Maddy Kroot" class="media-element file-dart-wysiwyg-width" data-delta="7" src="https://irving.dartmouth.edu/sites/irving_energy.prod/files/styles/wysiwyg_width_only/public/irving_energy/wysiwyg/22850145-3f8a-4da3-8db2-300cb41ffbae.jpg?itok=PGDyTm6V" width="250" height="250" /> </div> </div> </div> <p><strong>"How to Kill a Powerline: Utility-on-Utility Violence and Electricity Capital in Energy Infrastructure Disputes"<br /> Maddy Kroot '19, PhD candidate in Clark University's Graduate School of Geography</strong></p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/tFFKl2dFrNQ?si=Xp7G6D5Tgq85uNZ6"><b>View a recording of this talk. </b></a></p> <p><strong>About the Talk</strong><br /> The concept of just energy transitions pushes us to pursue rapid decarbonization while also centering issues of justice, equity, and democratic participation in energy decision-making. However, in practice, these mandates often appear at odds, with participatory practices widely seen as endangering fast policies for decarbonization through discourses of climate NIMBYism, or the "Not-In-My-Backyard" movement. </p> <p>This talk explores a different driver in project delays and cancellations: "utility-on-utility violence." Drawing on doctoral work on two controversial high-voltage transmission lines in northern New England, the talk explores how incumbent electricity capital effectively weaponizes the mandate for public participation in infrastructure permitting to block new energy sources from entering the grid and jeopardizing the profitability of existing assets. Rather than "astroturf" opposition, incumbents amplify the resources of pre-existing public opposition stemming from poor project design and community outreach, assisting small rural communities in slowing or cancelling billion-dollar projects. In turn, this utility-on-utility violence provides cover for capital, funneling blame for decarbonization delays towards uncooperative publics rather than utility interference in the regional electricity market.</p> <p><strong>About the Presenter</strong><br /> Maddy Kroot is a PhD candidate in Clark University's Graduate School of Geography. Her dissertation project looks at community opposition to new high-voltage transmission lines in northern New England, focusing on the Northern Pass project in New Hampshire and the New England Clean Energy Connect project in western Maine. These transmission lines are intended to increase imports of hydroelectricity from Hydro-Quebec to meet decarbonization targets in Massachusetts. Using spatial justice as a lens, she considers how the dual mandates of decarbonization and energy democratization lead to "green-on-green" conflict in energy governance when the regional and planetary benefits of grid decarbonization and reduced carbon emissions come into friction with localized impacts to landscape conservation, rural livelihoods, and sense of place. Maddy is a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow and a Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Graduate Scholar, and holds a B.A. in Geography and Linguistics from Dartmouth College.</p> </div> <span class="marker"></span> </article> </div> </div> <div class="panel-pane pane-node pane-content-chunk" > <div class="pane-content"> <article class="text-chunk expandable" aria-label="Winter 2024 Talks"> <h3 class="text-chunk__title">Winter 2024 Talks</h3> <div class="text-chunk__content"> <p>Talks take place from 12-1 pm ET via Zoom.

In this New Energy talk, Tyler Hansen, Research Associate at Dartmouth College, will discuss a recent paper that takes as its starting point that governments have played, and will continue to play, a massive role in transformative innovation. In this paper, the research team applies one emerging approach to green transformative innovation policy and governance—mission-oriented innovation policy—to a qualitative case study on the Danish energy islands, an early-stage green innovation project with the potential to transform offshore wind deployment, transmission planning and operation, and power-to-X development (conversion of green power to hydrogen and other chemicals). The paper then focuses on identifying and understanding the challenges for governance, and use our results to inform the development of the Danish energy islands, as well as the mission-oriented innovation policy literature.</p> <p><strong>About the Speaker</strong></p> <p>Tyler Hansen is a Research Associate in the Department of Environmental Studies, advised by Professor Elizabeth Wilson. He received his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and worked for two years as a postdoctoral researcher at the Technical University of Denmark, Department of Wind and Energy Systems. Tyler's research revolves around the economics, political economy, and governance of clean energy transitions, with a particular focus on offshore wind energy. Some of his current projects include a case study on the Danish energy islands to explore the challenges to governing green socio-technical transformations, the development of a supply chain approach for estimation of local economic benefits from wind energy, stakeholder engagement in the offshore wind sector to specify key challenges for offshore wind development in the U.S., and a review and assessment of the claim that climate stabilization requires economic degrowth.</p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/OSjly8Bi_Xs?si=GzdvzeoMRP6XqKdN"><b>View a recording of this talk. </b></a></p> <p> </p> <h3><span id="cke_bm_1653S"> </span>Wednesday, February 14, 2024</h3> <p><strong>Spillover Benefits from Electric Vehicle Charging Stations to Local Businesses<br /> Qingran Li, Assistant Professor at Clarkson University in the David D.

These benefits, however, are not directly received by charging site hosts. In this talk, Qingran will discuss her research on local benefits of EVCS in terms of increased revenues for businesses near new EVCS establishments. She will also talk about how these benefits are distributed across different communities. </p> <p><strong>About the Speaker</strong></p> <p>As a researcher in the interdisciplinary field of environmental economics, Qingran Li finds it important to closely tie her research to policy-related questions concerning a variety of stakeholders. The need to communicate scientific findings to regulators and the general audience constantly reminds her to explore and practice analytical tools that can deliver robust results. The challenge of policy-making in a world characterized by increasing uncertainties and environmental risks motivates Dr. Li's research about integrating climate change dynamics, human behavioral responses, and technology diffusion into long-run policy design.</p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/C5-2YKTJm-s"><b>View a recording of this talk.</b></a></p> </div> <span class="marker"></span> </article> </div> </div> <div class="panel-pane pane-node pane-content-chunk" > <div class="pane-content"> <article class="text-chunk expandable" aria-label="Fall 2023 Talks"> <h3 class="text-chunk__title">Fall 2023 Talks</h3> <div class="text-chunk__content"> <h3><span id="cke_bm_1205S"> </span>Wednesday, September 27, 2023</h3> <p> </p><div class="media media-element-container media-dart_wysiwyg_width media-wysiwyg-align-left"> <div id="file-12911" class="file file-image file-image-jpeg"> <h2 class="element-invisible">copy_of_obringer_renee_headshot.jpg</h2> <div class="content"> <img alt="Renee Obringer" class="media-element file-dart-wysiwyg-width" data-delta="1" src="https://irving.dartmouth.edu/sites/irving_energy.prod/files/styles/wysiwyg_width_only/public/irving_energy/wysiwyg/copy_of_obringer_renee_headshot.jpg?itok=Db9BijPB" width="250" height="350" /><br /> <div class="field field-name-field-file-caption field-type-text-long field-label-hidden field-wrapper"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd">Renee Obringer</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/DN1k5kJ-QNI">View a recording of this talk</a></p> <p><strong>"Investigating the Impact of Climate Change on Electricity Demand Through Domain-informed Machine Learning."</strong><br /> <strong>Renee Obringer, Assistant Professor of Energy and Mineral Engineering, Penn State University<br /> Moderator: Dr.</strong> <strong>June Lukuyu</strong>, <strong>University of Washington</strong></p> <p><strong>About the Talk</strong><br /> Soaring temperatures and increased frequency of heatwaves have changed the way many people use electricity, often leading to higher consumption during the summer months. This trend is likely to continue as climate change progresses and temperatures increase. In order to ensure our electricity grid is prepared for these changes, it is important to develop accurate predictive models that account for climate-induced shifts in demand. Here, Dr. Obringer will present results from two studies that leverage state-of-the-art data analytics to investigate the impact of climate change on electricity demand. The first study focuses on city-wide demand, while the second aims to evaluate changes in household-level air conditioning use. Together, these studies demonstrate the impact climate change is likely to have on the larger electricity grid, as well as the implications for residents. Understanding these shifts is a critical step to improving the resilience of our electricity infrastructure in the face of climate change. </p> <p><strong>About the Speaker</strong><br /> Dr. Renee Obringer is an interdisciplinary researcher primarily interested in socio-technical systems. In particular, she applies computational techniques ranging from machine learning to agent-based modeling to explore the relationship between people, climate, and infrastructure systems. Currently, she is an assistant professor in the John and Willie Leone Family Department of Energy and Mineral Engineering at Penn State University. Her primary research aims to better understand the impact of climate change on energy systems by leveraging data analytics and other computational techniques. At Penn State, she is also affiliated with the Earth and Environmental Systems Institute and the Institute for Computational and Data Sciences.</p> <h3>Wednesday, October 18, 2023</h3> <p> </p><div class="media media-element-container media-dart_wysiwyg_width media-wysiwyg-align-left"> <div id="file-12271" class="file file-image file-image-jpeg"> <h2 class="element-invisible">michelle_small.jpg</h2> <div class="content"> <img alt="Chell Lyons" class="media-element file-dart-wysiwyg-width" data-delta="3" src="https://irving.dartmouth.edu/sites/irving_energy.prod/files/styles/wysiwyg_width_only/public/irving_energy/wysiwyg/michelle_small.jpg?itok=C5TMyHJV" width="250" height="257" /><br /> <div class="field field-name-field-file-caption field-type-text-long field-label-hidden field-wrapper"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd">Chell Lyons</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/7qc1LK9h4PU">View a recording of the talk.</a></p> <p><strong>"In the Vault: The Roles of Public Green Banks in the Transition to Net-zero Emissions. Case Studies of Australia, New Zealand, and the United States."<br /> Chell Lyons, Sir Roland Wilson PhD Scholar at Australian National University</strong><br /> </p> <p><strong>About the Talk</strong><br /> Decarbonizing the global economy requires a significant increase in funding for low-carbon, climate-resilient infrastructure. It is widely recognized that current levels of investment are insufficient, and need to scale up rapidly to meet the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement. Green Banks, a relatively new form of public financial institution, were developed to address this issue by accelerating investment and "crowding in" private finance. This presentation adopts a case study approach drawing on expert interviews, to elicit information on the investment governance and evaluation processes of four Green Banks; Australia's Clean Energy Finance Corporation, New Zealand Green Investment Finance, the New York Green Bank and the Montgomery County Green Bank. It concludes with lessons for other public financial institutions seeking to leverage private finance in the investment transition to net zero emissions.</p> <p><strong>About the Speaker</strong><br /> Chell Lyon's PhD research explores the role of public investment in the transition to net zero emissions. She examines how public banks, particularly green banks, evaluate investment decisions, with a focus on implications for Australian policymakers.</p> <h3>Wednesday, November 8, 2023</h3> <p> </p><div class="media media-element-container media-dart_wysiwyg_width media-wysiwyg-align-left"> <div id="file-12916" class="file file-image file-image-png"> <h2 class="element-invisible">stubenberg.png</h2> <div class="content"> <img alt="Camillo Stubenberg" class="media-element file-dart-wysiwyg-width" data-delta="2" src="https://irving.dartmouth.edu/sites/irving_energy.prod/files/styles/wysiwyg_width_only/public/irving_energy/wysiwyg/stubenberg.png?itok=hZM1Ndmt" width="250" height="350" /><br /> <div class="field field-name-field-file-caption field-type-text-long field-label-hidden field-wrapper"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd">Camillo Stubenberg, Cornell University</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p><strong>"Does Grid Collapse Accelerate the Energy Transition? Lessons from Lebanon's Electricity Crisis."<br /> Camillo Stubenberg, PhD Student, Cornell University</strong><br /> </p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/PC_gIErikjg">View a recording of this talk.</a><br /> </p> <p><strong>About the Talk</strong></p> <p>In June 2022, a staggering 150,000 tons of solar panels arrived at the port of Beirut—equating to more solar capacity than Lebanon had imported over the preceding decade. Once lagging behind Mediterranean counterparts, Lebanon's energy landscape transformed rapidly due to the 2021 economic crisis and subsequent severe fuel shortages. The nation's established power entities, including the state utility Electricité du Liban and the infamous generator mafia, found themselves incapacitated without fossil fuels. Drawing from recent dissertation fieldwork, Cornell's Camillo Stubenberg will explore this swift transition to off-grid solar energy. Lebanon's experience serves as a compelling case study in a world where fossil fuel supply chains and centralized grids are increasingly fragile.</p> <p><strong>About the Speaker</strong></p> <p>Camillo Stubenberg is a PhD candidate in the Department of Global Development at Cornell University. His dissertation research examines the social aspects of the rushed transition towards off-grid solar energy in Lebanon. For his project "Under the Patronage of the Sun? the techno-politics of Lebanon's solar energy boom" he recently completed 11 month of ethnographic field research. Prior to coming to Cornell, Camillo worked worked as a consultant in rural development and impact research in the tri-border region of Austria, Switzerland and Germany. He earned a B.Sc. in environmental resource management from the University of Applied life Sciences in Vienna, as well as a BA+MA degree in International Development at the University of Vienna.</p> </div> <span class="marker"></span> </article> </div> </div> <div class="panel-pane pane-node pane-content-chunk" > <div class="pane-content"> <article class="text-chunk expandable" aria-label="Spring 2023 Talks"> <h3 class="text-chunk__title">Spring 2023 Talks</h3> <div class="text-chunk__content"> <h4><strong>Wednesday, April 26, 2023</strong></h4> <p><strong>Ker-hsuan Chien</strong>, Assistant Professor Institute of Technology Management, National Tsing Hua University<br /> <strong>"Powering Up the Green Supply Chains: The Sustainability Chain Governance and the Marketization of Renewable Energy in Taiwan"</strong></p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/yC65j50Arqk">View a recording of this talk</a></p> <p> </p><div class="media media-element-container media-dart_wysiwyg_width media-wysiwyg-align-left"> <div id="file-12266" class="file file-image file-image-jpeg"> <h2 class="element-invisible">ge_ren_zhao_.jpg</h2> <div class="content"> <img alt="Ker-hsuan Chien" class="media-element file-dart-wysiwyg-width" data-delta="1" src="https://irving.dartmouth.edu/sites/irving_energy.prod/files/styles/wysiwyg_width_only/public/irving_energy/wysiwyg/ge_ren_zhao_.jpg?itok=-TktR-OT" width="250" height="375" /><br /> <div class="field field-name-field-file-caption field-type-text-long field-label-hidden field-wrapper"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd">Ker-hsuan Chien</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p>In this talk, Dr. Chien will discuss her recent paper that looks at how 2050 zero emissions goals have put tremendous pressure on Taiwan's manufacturing sector to decarbonize its energy sources. In the paper, Dr. Chien focuses on sustainability chain governance, scrutinizing the formation, codification, and implementation of renewable energy procurement, and its impacts on the renewable energy market at the production end of supply chains. </p> <p>By following the transactions guided by global brands (e.g. Apple, Google etc.) and global initiatives (e.g. RE 100), and their impact on the emerging renewable energy market in Taiwan, Dr. Chien aims to answer three critical questions about sustainability chain governance. Firstly, how was supply chains' decarbonization guided by the rules and norms formed by the global disclosure regimes? How was decarbonization translated differently by the global brands and their suppliers? Secondly, how was renewable energy made into a tradable commodity through the marketization process of Taiwan's energy system? Finally, how have the materialities of renewable energy conditioned the marketization of renewable energy in Taiwan?</p> <p>Through focusing on the nexus of global sustainability chain governance and the marketization of renewable energy, Dr. Chien demonstrates that the renewable energy market has become the new site of struggle between local renewable project developers, the grid operator, local/global renewable energy buyers, and the state.</p> <p><strong>About the Speaker</strong><br /> Ker-hsuan Chien is an assistant professor at the Institute of Technology Management at National Tsing Hua University.

In many cases, these projects entail new forms of colonialism and extractivism that intersect with traditional ones as coal mining. These conflicts are connected with the formation of energy imaginaries around territories that are perceived as sacrifice zones to generate energy for the nation and international markets. In this talk, Azucena Castro will address how those imaginaries are formed and sustained by hegemonic discourses but also challenged by local forms of art and activism (artivisms) that demand energy justice in the context of the energy transition. While wind and water energy have been portrayed as the solution to the climate crisis, there are many conflicts arising in regard to Eolic parks and hydroelectric dams all over Latin America. Castro will draw insights from two case studies on renewable energy forms in Latin America: La Guajira in Colombia, designated as "the epicenter of Colombia's energy transition" for Eolic Energy, and the Argentinian Patagonia, viewed as "Patagonia-energy" for the installation hydroelectric plants.

While substantial impact reduction can be achieved, their use has also sparked concern due to the use of critical materials such as cobalt, nickel, and lithium. Through the circularity principles of reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle, resource conservation and impact mitigation can be achieved. This presentation will discuss current research, industry development, and policy which supports lithium-ion battery material circularity. </p> <p>Dunn is currently finishing her Doctorate in Energy Systems at the University of California, Davis. During her studies she was a co-facilitator for the California Lithium-ion Battery Recycling Advisory group and a private consultant for the International Energy Agency on topics related to energy technologies and battery systems. In addition, she published several academic journal articles about using industrial technology methods to forecast and evaluate the impact of battery recycling.</p> <p>Prior to pursuing her doctorate, she earned a master's degree from University College London in Economics and Policy of the Environment and Energy and worked in the energy and environmental consulting industries.</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jessica_Dunn22">Recent Research</a></li> <li><a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=NB4gcFsAAAAJ&hl=en">Google Scholar</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessicadunn1/">LinkedIn</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Wednesday, September 28 <br /> "Examining Electricity Consumption and Complementary Infrastructure for Small and Medium Enterprises in Kenya"<br /> Bob Muhwezi, PhD Candidate, University of Massachusetts, Amherst<br /> Moderator: <a href="https://engineering.dartmouth.edu/community/faculty/erin-mayfield">Erin Mayfield</a>, Hodgson Family Assistant Professor of Engineering</strong></p> <ul> </ul> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/5IEIM8ggKtU"><b>View a recording of this talk</b></a></p> <p> </p><div class="media media-element-container media-dart_wysiwyg_width media-wysiwyg-align-left"> <div id="file-11206" class="file file-image file-image-jpeg"> <h2 class="element-invisible">bob-muhwezi.jpeg</h2> <div class="content"> <img alt="Bob Muhwezi" class="media-element file-dart-wysiwyg-width" data-delta="4" src="https://irving.dartmouth.edu/sites/irving_energy.prod/files/styles/wysiwyg_width_only/public/irving_energy/wysiwyg/bob-muhwezi.jpeg?itok=7zW7qTN0" width="200" height="200" /><br /> <div class="field field-name-field-file-caption field-type-text-long field-label-hidden field-wrapper"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd">Bob Muhwezi</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p>In Kenya, between 2010 and 2015, the number of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) connected to the grid increased by over 60%. Despite this substantial increase, little is known about the behavioral patterns or conditions that contribute to increased electricity consumption among these SMEs. In his talk, Bob Muhwezi, PhD student at the University of Amherst Massachusetts, will discuss a recent study that addresses the problem through a longitudinal analysis of monthly electricity bills for over 179,000 grid connected SMEs in Kenya. The study leverages multiple publicly available geospatial datasets to estimate how complementary infrastructural variables (such as access to roads, markets, financial services, and macro/micro-economic conditions) correlate with sustained electricity consumption growth by SMEs.</p> <p>Bob Muhwezi is a third year PhD student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Prior to joining UMass, he graduated with a master's in electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) from Carnegie Mellon University-Africa in Kigali, Rwanda. He then worked in the planning department of the Energy Development Corporation (EDCL) of Rwanda where he was responsible for modeling optimal expansion of the nation's generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure. His current research centers on the application of data-driven methods to understand electricity demand in data-scarce countries. Specifically, he uses a combination of remotely sensed and ground-collected data to understand how infrastructural features influence electricity consumption growth in some sub-Saharan countries.</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://sites.google.com/view/bmuhwezi/home">Google Scholar</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-muhwezi-814060137/">LinkedIn</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352728521000142">Recent Publications</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Wednesday, October 12 <br /> "Optimizing Collaborative Energy Storage Systems for an Equitable and Sustainable Energy Transition"<br /> Ogechi Vivian Nwadiaru, PhD Candidate/NRT ELEVATE Fellow, University of Massachusetts, Amherst</strong></p> <p><strong>Moderated by Sarah Kelly, Irving Institute Research Associate and Lecturer, Dept. of Geography</strong></p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/1vlIUjSZf3w"><b>View a recording of this talk.</b></a></p> <p> </p><div class="media media-element-container media-dart_wysiwyg_width media-wysiwyg-align-left"> <div id="file-11061" class="file file-image file-image-jpeg"> <h2 class="element-invisible">nwadiaru.jpeg</h2> <div class="content"> <img alt="Vivian Nwadiaru" class="media-element file-dart-wysiwyg-width" data-delta="1" src="https://irving.dartmouth.edu/sites/irving_energy.prod/files/styles/wysiwyg_width_only/public/irving_energy/wysiwyg/nwadiaru.jpeg?itok=mO1U4ffe" width="203" height="256" /><br /> <div class="field field-name-field-file-caption field-type-text-long field-label-hidden field-wrapper"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd">Ogechi Vivian Nwadiaru</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p>To support the delivery of an equitable and just transition, it is imperative to study models of ownership that can sustainably promote adoption. The aim of the study is to assess the benefits of co-operatively owned and operated storage systems. The underlying hypothesis is that there is a monetary and non-monetary value to residential storage. The hypothesis is built on the flexibility offered by storage as a demand response asset, which can be used by residents in price-based demand response programs and equally provides consumers with increased autonomy and reduced cost. </p> <p>Vivian Ogechi Nwadiaru received her bachelor's in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering and an MS in Energy Engineering. Before joining UMass Amherst as a Ph.D. student, she completed an International Climate Protection Research Fellowship funded by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation at the Technical University of Berlin and the University of Oxford, investigating Nigeria's energy transition and proliferation of fossil backup generators. Her research with ELEVATE explores equitable demand response strategies, such as pricing schemes for deploying solar and storage technologies to reduce cost and improve reliability in low-income communities. </p> <ul> <li><a href="http:// https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=EpP8xp0AAAAJ">Google Scholar</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ogechivivian-nwadiaru/ ">LinkedIn </a> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Wednesday, October 26 | 12- 1 p.m. ET<br /> "The Cultures of Energy Efficiency in Kharkiv (Ukraine) In the Times of War"<br /> Viktoriia Grivina, PhD Candidate, University of St. Andrews<br /> Moderator: <a href="https://anthropology.dartmouth.edu/people/laura-ogden">Laura Ogden</a>, Professor of Anthropology, Dartmouth College</strong></p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/JRflUzb2Uoo"><b>View a recording of this talk</b></a></p> <p> </p><div class="media media-element-container media-dart_wysiwyg_width media-wysiwyg-align-left"> <div id="file-11071" class="file file-image file-image-jpeg"> <h2 class="element-invisible">grivina.jpeg</h2> <div class="content"> <img alt="Viktoriia Grivina" class="media-element file-dart-wysiwyg-width" data-delta="3" src="https://irving.dartmouth.edu/sites/irving_energy.prod/files/styles/wysiwyg_width_only/public/irving_energy/wysiwyg/grivina.jpeg?itok=zACiRJKy" width="200" height="200" /><br /> <div class="field field-name-field-file-caption field-type-text-long field-label-hidden field-wrapper"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd">Viktoriia Grivina</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p>On February 24, 2022 the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, 40 km from the border with Russia, woke up on the frontline of the large-scale war. The rapid drop in population from 1.5 million to 800,000 and continuous damage inflicted to urban infrastructure led to visible and invisible transformations affecting local habits, the way the city looks, the way its services operate and more. In her talk, Viktoriia Grivina will reflect on some of the strategies that the local government, big and small businesses, transport and communal services, as well as the inhabitants remaining in Kharkiv, have adopted in order to minimize the consequences of the large- and small-scale destructions, energy crisis, and the persistent danger resulting from daily shelling and missile strikes targeting residential areas of the city.</p> <p>Taking the perspective of a local resident, Grivina will highlight the changes in daily routines of the city, survival strategies and methods of adaptation, from window protection to the rule of the two walls, amendments to everyday routines, shopping, commute and preparations for the winter season. Analyzing these changes might help us better understand how war (and other crises) reveal critical energy issues in the city, flaws in its infrastructure and the potential for energy efficiency improvements. </p> <p>Researcher, translator, writer, Viktoriia Grivina graduated from V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University majoring in English and German Linguistics. In 2018-2020 she was awarded Erasmus Mundus Master's scholarship with Crossways in Cultural Narratives programme (Universities of Tubingen, St Andrews, and Bergamo). In 2020 Viktoriia presented her Master's dissertation (The Influence of Street Art on Community Development in Kharkiv, Ukraine). In September 2020, she joined the project "(Un)Archiving (Post)Industry" implemented by the Center for Urban History jointly with the University of St Andrews. In 2021 she started her PhD research at the University of St. Andrews, focusing on mythology, ecology and aesthetics in the city of Kharkiv in the times of war.</p> <ul> <li><a
