Eastern Industrialists Call for Action on Frequent Power Tripping

Kathmandu — Entrepreneurs from the eastern region have urged the Nepal Electricity Authority to be more sensitive regarding the frequent power tripping that has been occurring in the industrial sector for a long time. They stated that despite repeatedly raising complaints with the concerned authorities, the issue has not been addressed and they have only received assurances so far. With the onset…

About 30 pounds of cobalt go into each EV battery to boost performance and energy storage, which are key to luring consumers from dirtier gas cars. But today 70% of cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, where an estimated 40,000 children as young as 6 work in dangerous mines. The mines also bring deforestation, habitat fragmentation and high carbon emissions from mining and refinery processes that rely heavily on fossil fuels to produce electricity and drive heavy machinery. Some sources say cobalt mining’s CO2 emissions could double by 2030.

Reforms In The Energy Sector –As A Leading Factor Of Economic Stabilization In The New Uzbekistan

Reforms In The Energy Sector –As A Leading Factor Of Economic Stabilization In The New Uzbekistan

Abstract The paper discusses the use of wavelet transform for modal identification and damage detection. The aim is to solve an inverse problem for damage detection of engineering structures using wavelet analysis. Wavelet transform is discussed within the framework of inverse problems; critical aspects and implementation issues for modal identification and damage detection are provided. A dynamic test on a masonry wall and a short example of an eight-storey steel frame building are presented to demonstrate the potential of the approach. Keywords: Inverse Problems; Ill-Posed Problems; Wavelet Transform; Modal Identification; Damage Detection.

Introduction The socio-economic development of any society, the transformation of human capital as a result of practical actions are directly related to the activities of steadily growing sectors of the economy, starting, first of all, with micro-resources and small infrastructures of the same region, territory. In particular, along with such resources, today the need for sustainable development of the electric power industry, the energy sector has become a need of the time. Optimization of energy efficiency and consumption, which is safe and cost-effective, has become one of the main and urgent problems in international circles in recent years. The reason is that today, in the context of globalization, the economic and social integration of the energy industry is taking place all over the world, the need for which is rapidly increasing, as a result of which its share in the economy and the volume of consumption are also growing day by day. It is from this point of view that the wider introduction of innovative technologies into the industry, along with its further development, makes it necessary to save resources such as natural gas, oil, and coal. Proceeding from this, consistent reforms are being carried out in our country to modernize the energy system, which is an important factor of socio-economic development, the introduction of modern technologies into the sphere, and the wider use of alternative sources. It should be noted that along with an increase in the rate of production of electric and thermal energy, a decrease in the consumption of natural resources used in this process, the level of use of alternative energy sources is being improved. In our republic, as a result of the development of economic sectors and the growth of the needs of the population, the need for electricity is increasing every day. If we consider this in terms of figures, then if in 2000 one household user consumed 114 kW / h of electricity per month, then in recent years this indicator has reached 200 kW/h. Today, the share of the population in the total electricity consumption in the republic reaches 26.5 percent. Although in 1990 this figure was 13.9 percent. The main part of the costs of electricity production is accounted for by natural gas, fuel oil, coal. This indicator currently stands at 43 percent, and taking into account the fact that they are becoming more expensive on the world market, its value will increase even more. Today, 86 percent of the electricity production in our country is accounted for by thermal power plants. 17 billion US dollars per year at these thermal power plants. Consequently, m3 of natural gas is consumed, although so much gas can be used for value- added processes (production of synthetic fuel, polypropylene). This, in turn, creates opportunities for solving social problems (employment of the population, environmental protection) . «Considering that our electric power system consists mainly of thermal power plants built in the last century, practically not modernized, it is no secret that the problem of energy shortage has existed for a long time,» emphasizes Farkhod Zainiyev, deputy of the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis. – Today, the production capacity of thermal power plants is about 60% of the installed capacity. At the same time, energy consumption is steadily growing due to an increase in the number of people and business entities.» According to the data provided by the deputy, today the annual volume of electricity production in Uzbekistan is 68.5 billion kWh. hours, and the demand-71 billion kWh. is an hour. The deficit is covered by imports from neighboring countries. He added that the situation in the energy sector has «significantly improved» over the past 3-4 years. He said that « if the electricity production in 2018 will be 62.8 billion kW.by 2020, due to the modernization and increase in the capacity of existing systems- $ 68.5 billion kW. increased to hours» .
