The California Independent System Operator (CAISO), the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), and the California Energy Commission (CEC) recently issued aFinal Root Cause Analysisof the August 2020 heat wave and rotating outages.

On Aug. 14 and Aug. 15, 2020, the CAISO was forced to institute rotating electricity outages in California amid a West-wide extreme heat wave. Following these emergency events, Governor Gavin Newsom requested the CAISO, the CPUC, and the CEC report on the root causes of the events leading to the August outages.

The CAISO, the CPUC, and the CEC produced a preliminary report on Oct. 6, 2020, and have since continued their analysis to confirm and supplement their preliminary findings. This report serves as the Final Root Cause Analysis and incorporates additional data analysis not available when the preliminary report was published. The Final Root Cause Analysis confirms the preliminary report's findings that the three major factors leading to the August outages were related to extreme weather conditions, resource adequacy and planning processes, and market practices.

"This Final Root Cause Analysis provides important insights and lessons learned about the factors that contributed to the rotating power outages of last summer," said Elliot Mainzer, CAISO president and CEO. "As we prepare for summer 2021 and beyond, I look forward to working closely with the CPUC, the CEC, policymakers, and regional stakeholders to bring our planning, procurement, and operational practices together into a modernized and well-integrated resource adequacy framework for California."

"The acceleration of climate change demands we enhance our planning efforts and market practices at a faster pace and with broader anticipation for what is possible," said Marybel Batjer, CPUC president. "It is our top priority to ensure we have the demand- and supply-side resources needed to maintain reliability, and this analysis demonstrates how we will do it and continue to decarbonize the grid."

"This final report confirms our initial findings and reaffirms that our agencies are taking the right actions to update processes and strengthen California's grid in the face of this crisis and worsening climate impacts," said David Hochschild, CEC chair. "We have more to do to ensure long-term reliability but despite challenges, we remain relentlessly committed to transitioning our state to a clean energy future for all."

Since August, the CAISO, the CPUC, and the CEC have taken various actions and continue focused efforts to prepare California for extreme heat waves next summer without having to resort to rotating outages. Those actions and efforts include the following:

1. The CPUC opened an Emergency Reliability rulemaking to procure additional resources to meet California's electricity demand in summer 2021. Through this proceeding, the CPUC has already directed the state's three large investor-owned utilities to seek contracts for additional supply-side capacity and has requested proposals for additional demand-side resources that can be available during the net-demand peak period (that is, the hours past the gross peak when solar production is very low or zero) for summer 2021 and summer 2022. The CPUC and parties to the proceeding, including the CAISO, will continue to evaluate proposals and procurement targets for both supply-side and demand-side resources.

2. The CAISO is continuing to perform analysis supporting an increase to the CPUC's RA program procurement targets. Based on the analysis to date, the CAISO recommends that the targets apply to both the gross peak and the critical hour of the net-demand peak period during the months of June through October 2021.

3. The CAISO is expediting a stakeholder process to consider market rule and practice changes by June 2021 that will ensure the CAISO's market mechanisms accurately reflect the actual balance of supply and demand during stressed operating conditions. This initiative will consider changes that incentivize accurate scheduling in the day-ahead market, appropriate prioritization of export schedules, and evaluate performance incentives and penalties for the resource adequacy fleet. The CAISO is also working with stakeholders to ensure the efficient and reliable operation of battery storage resources, given the significant amount of new storage that will be on the system next summer and beyond. Through a stakeholder process, the CAISO will pursue changes to its planned outage rules.

4. The CPUC is tracking progress on generation and battery storage projects that are currently under construction in California to ensure there are no CPUC-related regulatory barriers that would prevent them from being completed by their targeted online dates. The CAISO will continue to work with developers to address interconnection issues as they arise.

5. The CAISO and the CEC will coordinate with non-CPUC-jurisdictional entities to encourage additional necessary procurement by such entities.

6. The CEC is conducting probabilistic studies that evaluate the loss of load expectation on the California system to determine the amount of capacity that needs to be installed to meet the desired service reliability targets.

7. The CAISO, the CPUC, and the CEC are planning to enhance the efficacy of Flex Alerts to maximize consumer conservation and other demand-side efforts during extreme heat events.

8. Preparations by the CAISO, the CPUC, and the CEC are underway to improve advance coordination for contingencies, including communication protocols and development of a contingency plan. The contingency plan will draw from actions taken statewide under the leadership of the governor's office to mitigate the anticipated shortfall from Aug. 17 through Aug. 19, 2020.

The CAISO and the CPUC have established dedicated 2021 Summer Readiness webpages to keep stakeholders and the public informed regarding the steps the agencies are taking to avoid reliability issues next summer.

Since the coronavirus pandemic has created a lot of fear and havoc in our lives, could there be a glimmer of hope somewhere? There sure is and its right where you live your home! If you are a working employee who is doing his job right from the humble abode of the cozy bedroom, there are benefits galore. Lets be realistic this pandemic is going to stay at least for the foreseeable future and as long as it is there, theres going to be plenty work from home opportunities for working class employees. Lets take a look at some of the benefits and perks you get while working right from your home.

1. More flexibility: Getting up and getting rushed for work is something nobody likes and youll have plenty of memories (especially bad ones) when youre already running late for work and skipping that important breakfast meal to make it to your office just in time. But not anymore! Since the break of the pandemic, many companies have asked their employees not to return to the office and instead work directly from home. Which means that you get to sleep as late as possible and wake up just in time for that morning Zoom call.

Whats more? You have immense flexibility going about doing your daily chores that may not necessarily involve any official duties such as going to the grocers, tending to your kids, baking more frequently and taking unlimited breaks between work. The flexibility that you get while working from home is truly unmatched.

2) No commute: I dont think any employee really likes the entire commuting process. What with the never-ending traffic, the jams, the incessant car honking and the rowdy road users. They always seem to zap the energy out of you even before you happen to make it to work. But say goodbye to these woes, as now you sit comfortably on the couch and make work happen.

It has been reported that an average employee spends at least 52 minutes to and fro in terms of commuting to work. This means that you end up saving at least four and a half hours on commuting time that you can now dedicate somewhere else (think: more sleep!) But in all honesty, working from home is a boon especially for mothers who have small kids to take care and can devote more time to bonding with them. The rest of us can use this extra time for more productive work such as learning a new language, setting up a side business or whatever that your heart desires.

3) Boost in productivity: There are people who always say that working from home isnt a good option because that means giving a lot of leeway to your employees who will then squander the office time. But this isnt true. According to studies conducted, employees were found to be 13% more productive working at home than at the office. This isnt just an isolated report and the reason being could be that employees feel far more comfortable in their homely surroundings and therefore able to provide far more output than in the office environs.

Sometimes people get easily distracted in their office cubicles with random colleague making a stop and gossiping about others, while spending unnecessary time at the coffee table drinking that extra cup to stay focused. At home though, the scenario is a bit different. Since those unwanted distractions arent there anymore, employees seem to perform far better at their place than at the chitter-chatter office floor.

4) Work-life balance: This is perhaps the biggest and the most important benefit an employee could ask for. Many people struggle in maintaining a healthy work-life balance. They spend long hours in the office, struggling to make their managers and superiors satisfied with their work; however that means giving up on their social life outside of work. This isnt a healthy way of living your professional dreams. Work from home thus came as a huge blessings for people who were going through this rough emotional roller-coaster and looking for a way out.

The pandemic has given all of us a respite and employees can now have a great balance managing both work and their social life. This is important as it leads to less employee turnover, less professional burnouts, a marked decrease in stress, keeps employees happy and thereby promoting a boost in their overall productivity.

5) Better communication: Lets face it work from home is a great option however it isnt going to be a fairytale episode if you dont treat it professionally. Although your office has given you the option to continue working from home, do not take advantage of it by means of dodging phone calls or work related matter. You should invest as much time and effort in building and collaborating team work by means of online available tools and software so that you get the maximum benefit out of working from home. Open communication is crucial at every stage and you must be able to communicate your thoughts and feelings to your colleagues and managers as much as you were able to do it when in office. Keeping the communication channel open means that you are receptive to their feedback and can grow as a person.

It is understandable that for many, working from home wasnt anticipated. It isnt everybodys cup of tea however since the pandemic has now shown hopeful signs of slowing down just yet, the professional show must go on. Working from home is a blessing for many and if managed well, you shouldnt be able to see much difference in the output of your work. In fact, with so much flexibility available, you should take full advantage of it and set high standards for yourself and others.

Organizations are increasingly embracing serverless computing for its convenience and cost-effectiveness. But many IT teams are blindly embracing this innovation in cloud technology without consulting their security peers. As a result, we can expect to see a growing number of cyber-attacks in this space in the new year, with criminals exploiting a lack of adequate protection to target serverless computing environments.

Serverless computing is a relatively new innovation in cloud computing that allows organizations to manage and pay for only the compute resources and storage needed to execute a particular piece of code. Its name is somewhat misleading, though; servers are still involved but their maintenance and provisioning are managed by the provider, freeing up developers to focus entirely on their work.

In addition to database and storage services, many serverless providers offer Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms, such as AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, and Microsoft Azure Functions. Typically metered on an on-demand basis, a FaaS platform allows developers to build applications comprising a number of functions in the respective serverless architecture

The various business benefits of serverless computing means its adoption is growing fast. In 2018, Gartner suggested the number of global enterprises deploying serverless technology would leap from five to twenty percent within two years. And its not hard to see why.

With no architecture to manage, its cheaper and more scalable than the traditional cloud computing model. In addition, FaaS simplifies the development process, while the ability to add and modify code as and when necessary can significantly shorten the time it takes to deploy applications.

Despite its obvious advantages, however, there are a number of concerns over its security.

Serverless architecture is very difficult for organizations to protect. Its distributed nature essentially, the reason for its flexibility and scalability means traditional protective products simply wont work. Applications have moved from being functions sharing the same memory space to being loosely coupled and event-driven. Securing these functions should now be prioritized over securing applications. But, when you consider that organizations can have several hundred accounts across different providers and regions, and that each function is basically a perimeter that needs to be protected, its clear that a new approach is required.

There are visibility issues, too. With developers in the drivers seat when it comes to serverless computing, its possible for applications to be pushed through to production in short time without being noticed by security organizations. This is especially worrying when you consider that, as serverless architecture leaves the application layer unprotected, threats to code such as cross site scripting, SQL injection, and remote command execution remain as much a risk as they ever were. Without visibility by security teams into the production pipeline, applications created in a serverless environment will be especially vulnerable.

The storage and transportation of data in serverless computing can also be problematic, in terms of its security and regulatory compliance. Data held in stateless serverless functions will remain cached rather than stored in memory, so extra caution must be given when moving that data from serverless services to external locations in order to avoid leakages. If, as mentioned, applications are deployed unchecked for flaws and vulnerabilities, their compromise could result in a data breach, along with the disruption and financial and reputational damage that accompanies it.

With developers under increasing pressure to deploy more applications, at an ever-faster rate, its little wonder that serverless computing is quickly becoming the leading infrastructure in the software architecture space. Indeed, the benefits flexibility, scalability, speed, and cost-effectiveness speak for themselves.

But organizations should approach it with eyes open. Code and functions can be vulnerable and open to exploitation, putting the integrity of an organizations applications not to mention its reputation at risk of harm. Serverless architecture is very different to any environment most companies will have experienced before, and should be treated as such with regard to its protection. Its essential that developers understand that security teams need visibility over every function, in every region, and with every provider. Without this, serverless computing will quickly become a playground for cybercriminals.
