Abstract
There is a growing need for increased flexibility in modern power systems. Traditionally, this flexibility has been provided by supply-side technologies. There has been an increase in the research surrounding flexibility services provided by demand-side actors and technologies, especially flexibility services provided by prosumers (those customers who both produce and consume electricity). This work gathers 1183 peer-reviewed journal articles concerning the topic and uses them to identify the current state of the art. This body of literature was analysed with two leading textual and scientometric analysis tools, SAS (c) Visual Text Analytics and VOSviewer, in order to provide a detailed understanding of the current state-of-the-art research on prosumer flexibility. Trends, key ideas, opportunities and challenges were identified and discussed.

Abstract
Electrification of public transport systems has become a strategic priority due to the highly versatile potential of electric vehicles (EVs) as distributed energy resources (DERs) Despite the logistic ease of transitioning conventional public transport systems to fully-electric ones, the latter must be properly designed to adhere to technical constraints and minimize their total ownership cost (TOC). Most published work addresses this issue with a narrow scope, such as modeling a very specific case study, leading to non-generic models which are difficult to apply for a universal case. In this study, a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model is formulated to model a generic public transport network, comprising the routes, electric bus models, and charging infrastructures. The objective function minimizes the TOC of a generic network, which can be applied to any universal case study. The constructed model is tested by simulating a system with different routes, bus models, and types of chargers to obtain the optimal configuration of the charging infrastructure.

On energy debt: managing consumption on evolving software

TechDebt '20: International Conference on Technical Debt, Seoul, Republic of Korea, June 28-30, 2020

Abstract
This paper introduces the concept of energy debt: a new metric, reflecting the implied cost in terms of energy consumption over time, of choosing a flawed implementation of a software system rather than a more robust, yet possibly time consuming, approach. A flawed implementation is considered to contain code smells, known to have a negative influence on the energy consumption. Similar to technical debt, if energy debt is not properly addressed, it can accumulate an energy "interest". This interest will keep increasing as new versions of the software are released, and eventually reach a point where the interest will be higher than the initial energy debt. Addressing the issues/smells at such a point can remove energy debt, at the cost of having already consumed a significant amount of energy which can translate into high costs. We present all underlying concepts of energy debt, bridging the connection with the existing concept of technical debt and show how to compute the energy debt through a motivational example. © 2020 ACM.

A projeção mural multimédia como formação cultural e democrática no espaço público

Texto Digital

Abstract
A projeção mural multimédia é hoje comumente utilizada para fins puramente publicitários ou lúdicos, de entretinimento, no âmbito de eventos que convoquem grandes aglomerados de públicos, sendo menos usual os fins culturais e educacionais. Neste artigo vamos apresentar, analisar e discutir o recurso à projeção mural multimédia em espaços públicos, com objetivos educacionais, formação cultural e de interpelação artística, tomando como tema do conteúdo projetado a própria arte contemporânea e o pensamento crítico que lhe está associado. O artigo toma como base de reflexão os cenários de arte experimental do projeto "+ PROJECTION AC - Projeção da arte contemporânea no espaço público” e suas múltiplas instanciações em diversos locais onde a projeção mural multimédia foi colocada em prática.

Abstract
This work focuses on a reservoir with water leaks since its construction, the Beninar reservoir. The purpose of this reservoir was to regulate the Adra River basin, lying between the provinces of Almeria and Granada, and located south of Sierra Nevada Mountains (in the Inner Zones of the Betic Cordilleras, SE Spain). This basin extends over 746 km(2), at an altitude of 2780 m, with a very rough terrain and frequent torrential water flow. Due to the continuous extension of greenhouses in the east and west parts of Almeria, the water demand for agriculture and urban consumption increases day by day. As a consequence, aquifers are being overexploited, causing the current system to not be sustainable for a long time, that is, the storage capacity of the underground media and their possible contributions to an efficient management of resources have not been adequately taken into account. The Beninar dam has always had problems with water leaks. The dam was built even knowing that the land was not the most suitable, due to the frequent earth movements that took place in the town of Beninar, which was submerged beneath the waters of the reservoir. In this work, we process multi-temporal SAR datasets coming from the C-band satellites ERS-1/2, Envisat, and Sentinel-1A/B using MT-InSAR techniques, being able to monitor the deformation behavior of this dam for a long time period of more than 25 years, from 1992 to 2018.

MODELLING IRREGULARLY SPACED TIME SERIES UNDER PREFERENTIAL SAMPLING

Abstract
Irregularly spaced time series are commonly encountered in the analysis of time series. A particular case is that in which the collection procedure over time depends also on the observed values. In such situations, there is stochastic dependence between the process being modeled and the times at which the observations are made. Ignoring this dependence can lead to biased estimates and misleading inferences. In this paper, we introduce the concept of preferential sampling in the temporal dimension and we propose a model to make inference and prediction. The methodology is illustrated using artificial data as well a real data set.
