[T33] Are distributed energy and energyeciency the squeezed middle o the powerdebate?In its 2011 Electricity Market Reorm (EMR) White Paper,the Department or Energy and Climate Change (DECC)set out ambitious proposals or how the UK can meet thedual challenge o building new generating capacity, whilst

ensuring continued energy security and decarbonisation.

The document revealed Government plans or a utureenergy mix made up o three components: gas generationwith Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), new nuclear andlarge-scale renewable energy. However, there was limitedmention o the part that distributed energy or energyeciency will play in this mix.

Anecdotal and research evidence suggests numerousproblems with a centralized approach to energy, along witha greater potential or energy eciency to play a prominent

role in how we plan or the uture.

Following two Carbon Connect research programmes onthese issues the latest carried out jointly with ImperialCollege London this seminar will explore how, bypromoting greater roll-out o energy eciency measuresand localising energy generation, the UK can create a armore resilient and resource ecient system.

With the Department o Energy and Climate Change(DECC) having recently set up both an Energy EciencyDeployment Oce and Industry Working Group orDistributed Energy, these areas are under greater scrutinythan ever, and decisions now are likely to have lastingimpact on the way UK businesses view energy delivery andreduction.

Our expert panel brings to the table a myriad operspectives and interests on the agenda, and will addressthe question o whether our energy uture is in need o aradical rethink.

[T34] Fit or purpose joining the race oradvanced automationI the UK is once again to compete on a globalmanuacturing stage, advanced automation technology willhave to play a critical part. Currently, UK investment in plantand equipment lags behind that o other western countries,notably Germany, leading experts to suggest that industries

here have to be bolder around making long-term plant andtechnology investments that will stand them in good steador uture competitiveness. Siemens Brian Holliday willexplain how and why advanced automation technologiesare key to ensuring that UK industry can collectively deliveron the requirement to improve the link between successulinnovation and domestic manuacturing. Delegates willlearn, or example, how automation systems are central toenabling mass customisation, through fexible, automatedmanuacturing capabilities. They will see that strategicinvestment in automation technology will improveproductivity at both existing and new plants encouraging

domestic and oreign-owned companies to view the UKas the right manuacturing location or higher-value,customised goods.

[T44] Advanced control solutions: rom petroland pills, to powder and pooAdvanced process control (APC) is virtually a commoditytechnology in industries such as oil, gas and petrochemical.And while this isnt quite the case in other industries, APCis seeing greater uptake as rising energy costs and thepunishing price o capital expansion projects drive a laser

ocus on maximising asset perormance. In this seminar,David Lovett, managing director o Perceptive Engineering,will explain how operational improvement projects areincreasingly turning to APC to maximise ROCE (returnon capital employed) by delivering robust, fexible andeconomically tuned asset perormance. He will cite casestudies rom the pharmaceutical, ood and waste watersectors, revealing benets in terms o increased yield andthroughput (typically 5-10%), energy savings, reducedprocess variability and tighter control o quality and criticalprocess parameters. Delegates will learn how model-basedpredictive control systems are built to predict process

behaviour and determine optimal control moves that willbear down on process variability. They will be shown thelink between driving quality variables closer to specicationand direct business benet. Additionally, through casestudies, they will understand how robustness can beachieved by augmenting APC with multivariate statisticalmonitors, capable o detecting abnormal events. Finally,they will hear how Siemens dedicated Value Services isbringing APC to a range o industry sectors, as part o thedrive or operational eciency.
