Talk on Thursday Feb 02, 2023 at 15:00 Place: IFISC Seminar Room Title: Analysing multidimensional inequalities from housing and transport in Madrid Speaker: Jesús A. Moreno López, IFISC Abstract: <pre> The infrastructure of a city can influence inequality on multiple axes. In this work we aim to create a generalizable, open source methodology to analyse inequalities in transport accessibility which, paired with a thorough analysis of building energy efficiency, can lead us to pinpoint urban areas where both heating and transport needs lead to a high economical impact for many households. Real micro-data extracted from mobility questionnaires and cell phone data is used to compute and adjust a multi-agent transport simulation based on utility and cost functions for both travel and destination activities, which provides us with modes, times and fees for each transport demand. This mobility analysis performed on the whole street and public transport network of Madrid is paired with energy efficiency data of housing to give a multidimensional approach to inequality inherent to the spatial distribution and quality of infrastructure in Madrid. </pre> Url event:https://ifisc.uib-csic.es/en/events/seminars/analysing-multidimensional-inequalities-from-housi/

Talk on Thursday Feb 02, 2023 at 12:00 Place: IFISC Seminar Room Title: Balearic power grid stability in scenarios with large photovoltaic generation Speaker: María Martínez-Barbeito, IFISC (UIB-CSIC) Abstract: The first step in the decarbonization agenda of the Balearic Islands was to close down a coal fired power plant in December 2019. In the upcoming years, the following steps will be to integrate a higher share of solar photovoltaic generation. In this talk, I will analyze the frequency fluctuations and the overall grid stability in such scenarios. I will also analyze the role of the High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) link with mainland Spain in the control requirements needed to ensure grid stability. https://uibuniversitat.zoom.us/j/94682807892 Url event:https://ifisc.uib-csic.es/en/events/seminars/balearic-power-grid-stability-in-scenarios-with-la/

IFISC Seminar on Wednesday Feb 01, 2023 at 14:30 Place: IFISC Seminar Room Title: Beyond simple dynamics: coevolutionary dynamics Speaker: Alessio Cardillo, UOC Abstract: Abstract: For years, simple models have been used successfully to describe a plethora of phenomena taking place in complex systems. For instance, models like the Kuramoto model or the Prisoner&#39;s Dilemma game have been used as paradigms to study the emergence of synchronization and cooperation in populations of elements interacting with each other. Despite the achievements of the reductionist approach, there is a whole set of problems/phenomena that cannot be tackled/understood in terms of a single (simple) type of dynamical process. For instance, the spontaneous adoption of vaccines cannot be fully understood if we model it as a mere response to a cost over benefit analysis. To address more complex phenomena, we need to move beyond simple dynamical processes by intertwining two (or more) of them together using a coevolutionary approach. In this talk, I will present some examples of coevolutionary dynamics models and show how the phenomenology observed combining two dynamical processes together is, quoting Anderson&#39;s famous motto,&nbsp;&quot;more than the sum of its parts&quot; which constitutes one of the hallmarks of complexity.
