## LOAD RESEARCHIrrigation Load Study

- Utah Cost of Service Task Force
- August 25, 2005

## What is Load Research?

- The study of how and when our customers use energy so that PacifiCorp can most effectively:
- Allocate Fixed Costs per Regulatory Mandates
- Design or Maximize Customer Rates
- Forecast Loads
- Service Customer Data Requests
- Size Distribution Circuits
- Provide Customer Service

## Load Research Data Process

## Load Shape Analysis

- Electric usage varies over time and by customer type
- PacifiCorp is obligated to provide electricity (load) when the customer demands (kW) and for the length of time that the customer needs it (kWh).
- Load research (interval) data provides an important data input into planning, regulatory and financial decision making processes... $$$$$$

**1,000 kWh**

## Regulatory Support

## Mentoring New Principals – Leadership Coaching & Support to Become an Excellent Instructional School Leader

## What is Mentoring?

- “Mentoring is an ongoing process in which individuals in an organization provide support and guidance to others who can become effective contributors to the goals of the organization.”
- 							John Daresh
*                             **Leaders Helping Leaders*

## Mentoring ...

- Is a powerful device to help leaders develop new insights,
- Reduces isolation and helps build a collegial network among colleagues, and
- Helps move the novice from a level of mere survival to initial success

## Key Concepts of a Mentoring Program

- A clear reason or purpose
- Understanding that mentoring implies change thus accepting change
- Identifying benefits to the district, the school, the protégé, and the mentor
- Understanding that good leaders do not always make good mentors

## Phases of Mentoring Program

- Preparing
- Negotiating
- Enabling
- Closure

## Developing a Mentoring Program

- Identify the vision, goals, and objectives of a mentoring program.
- Develop qualifications of the mentor.
- Identify protégés.
- Identify roles and responsibilities of protégés and mentors.
- Identify desired outcomes and how it will be known when those outcomes have been attained.

## Developing  a Mentoring Program (continued)

- 6. Development of a plan designed for each protégé.
- 7. Identifying mentoring opportunities.
- 8. Develop logistics such as meeting times, what the protégé will produce, e.g., a portfolio, etc.
- 9. Select the protégé and mentor.
- 10. Get started.

## Recipe for Sleep

- Neuroscientist Chiara Cirelli:  *Uncovering Sleep*

## Chiara Cirelli Studies Shuteye

*Neuroscientist Cirelli wants to find a recipe for sound sleep.*

*Sleep*
- Is necessary for all animals
- Varies among animals
- Is a powerful restorative

*Question:*
- In what phase of sleep do humans dream?

## Answer: REM

- REM = Rapid Eye Movement

- Fast
- Short
- Narrowly spaced
- Sometimes quite similar to brain waves of wakefulness

- During the REM phase of sleep, brain waves are

## Why Do We Sleep?

- What some scientists suspect

- What Cirelli suspects

## Cirelli’s Synaptic-Strength Hypothesis

## Testing Cirelli’s Hypothesis

## Fruit Flies Are Model Organisms 

*Drosophila melanogaster*
- (fruit fly)

**Fruit flies are perfect tools for studying heredity, or genetics.**

**Cirelli uses fruit flies to study genes that affect sleep.**

## Sleep Genes and Fruit Flies 

- Fruit flies have a lifespan of a few months, and female fruit flies lay eggs every day
- Fruit flies sleep about 12 hours every night
- Scientists know almost all the genes for about a dozen species of fruit flies

## Sleepless in Madison

- Previously, Cirelli would awaken sleeping fruit flies by shaking the test tubes where they ate and slept.

- Now, Cirelli uses a robotic arm that tilts and drops a frame containing the test tubes of sleeping fruit flies, jolting them awake.

## Cirelli Discovers Minisleeper Flies

- Minisleeper flies have a genetic mutation that allows them to function on less sleep than normal flies
- Minisleeper flies also have “shaker” gene mutation
- Humans have a similar gene and protein
- Problem: minisleeper flies don’t live as long as sleepier ones

## Research Applications

- How might Cirelli’s work with fruit fly genes eventually help humans sleep better, and what is the “fly in the ointment” of such an application?

## Laws & PoliciesApplicable to Procurement of Launch ServicesFebruary 15, 2005

## Laws & Policy Considerations

**42 USC 2459c – Contracts Regarding Expendable Launch Vehicles**
- NASA may enter into contracts for ELV launch services that are for periods in excess of the period for which funds are otherwise available for obligation, with certain limitations
**42 USC 14731 – Commercial Space Act of 1998 (P.L. 105-303)**
- USG shall acquire space transportation services from United States commercial providers
- U.S. commercial provider defined as U.S. company more than 50% owned by U.S. nationals, or a U.S. subsidiary of a foreign company with past evidence of substantial investment in U.S. and the foreign country offers reciprocal opportunity for domestic subsidiaries of a U.S. companies to participate in similar procurements by the foreign government
**Cross-Waivers of Liability**
**ELV Cross-Waiver (14 CFR § 1266.104)** – waives liability between NASA and the launch service contractor for damages resulting from Protected Space Operations
**ISS Cross-Waiver (14 CFR § 1266.102)** – waives liability between an ISS Partner State/Entity and other Partner States/Entities for damages resulting from Protected Space Operations

## Laws & Policy Considerations(Continued)

**50 USC 1701 – Iran Nonproliferation Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-178)**
- No USG agency may make extraordinary payments in connection with the International Space Station to certain Russian entities without a Presidential determination
- Extraordinary payments means payments in cash or in kind made for work on the ISS or for the purchase of any goods or services relating to human space flight
**2004 National Space Transportation Policy**
- EELV shall be used for launch of intermediate & large payloads to maximum extent possible
- USG departments and agencies shall purchase commercially available U.S. space transportation products and services to maximum extent possible
- USG payloads shall be launched on space launch vehicles manufactured in the U.S., unless exempted by Director, OSTP

## Technical ConsiderationsLaunch Vehicle Certification

**  ****NPD 8610.7 “Launch Services Risk Mitigation Policy for NASA-Owned or NASA-Sponsored Payloads **
**  ****Launch vehicle certification requirements dependant on Mission****       value/criticality/complexity**
**   ****Category 1: Low cost, Non-mission critical payload, relatively simple**
**   ****Category 2: Med cost, Mission critical payload, medium complexity**
**   ****Category 3: High cost, Mission critical payload, high complexity**
**      ****Required demonstrated  flight history varies by Mission Category**
**  ****Category 1: No previous flight required (High Launch Risk)**
**   ****Category 2: At least 1 successful flight required (Med Launch Risk)**
**   ****Category 3: Seek 14* consecutive successful flights  or evolved systems can****     employ additional technical penetration to offset lower flight rate (Low ****     Launch Risk) ****(* 95% probability of success with 50% confidence level)****  **
