T1  - Enabling digital transformation through cognitive robotic process automation at Deutsche Telekom Services Europe
T2  - Digitalization Cases Vol. 2 :  Mastering digital transformation for global business
N2  - Subject of this case is Deutsche Telekom Services Europe (DTSE), a service center for administrative processes. Due to the high volume of repetitive tasks (e.g., 100k manual uploads of offer documents into SAP per year), automation was identified as an important strategic target with a high management attention and commitment. DTSE has to work with various backend application systems without any possibility to change those systems. Furthermore, the complexity of administrative processes differed. When it comes to the transfer of unstructured data (e.g., offer documents) to structured data (e.g., MS Excel files), further cognitive technologies were needed.

T1  - Concentrating Solar Power
T2  - Earth systems and environmental sciences
N2  - The focus of this chapter is the production of power and the use of the heat produced from concentrated solar thermal power (CSP) systems.

The chapter starts with the general theoretical principles of concentrating systems including the description of the concentration ratio, the energy and mass balance. The power conversion systems is the main part where solar-only operation and the increase in operational hours.

Solar-only operation include the use of steam turbines, gas turbines, organic Rankine cycles and solar dishes. The operational hours can be increased with hybridization and with storage.

Another important topic is the cogeneration where solar cooling, desalination and of heat usage is described.

Many examples of commercial CSP power plants as well as research facilities from the past as well as current installed and in operation are described in detail.

The chapter closes with economic and environmental aspects and with the future potential of the development of CSP around the world.
