Systems, Decision and Control in Energy III
This book describes new energy saving methods and technologies for heat power engineering. The book is devoted to topical issues of energy and related industries. Leading Ukrainian scientists from both scientific institutes and educational universities took part in its creation. The research results are presented in 6 parts: electrical engineering, heat power engineering, nuclear power engineering, fossil fuels, cybersecurity and computer science, environmental safety. Results of regulating of operating modes and applicability of model checking technique in power systems are showed. Separate block of questions regarding the functioning of nuclear power plants, their waste and preventive measures of protection against negative effects on living organisms (including, for example, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant) is considered. The results of the peculiarities of the extraction, purification and use of fossil fuels are presented. In some chapters, presented the results on improving the cybersecurity of energy systems and its resilience to various threats, including the use of 5G technology. Traditionally for this series, issues of ecological safety, the impact of different energy systems on the environment and its protection are considered. A book is for researchers, engineers, as well as lecturers and postgraduates of higher education institutions dealing with energy sector, power systems, ecological safety, etc.
Systems, Decision and Control in Energy IV
In recent years, the scale of environmental hazards has been growing, emergencies occur more often at special facilities, in particular nuclear power, the largest of which was the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine on April 26, 1986. With the advent of nuclear power, it was believed that nuclear power reactors were safe enough, control and monitoring systems, protective screens and trained personnel would guarantee their trouble-free operation. There is also a trend now that nuclear power is "environmentally friendly" because it provides a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions with replacing power plants working on fossil fuels. Some countries, such as the United States, have recently classified nuclear energy as a renewable energy source. Despite this, nuclear power is potentially dangerous due to: - possible accidents at power plants, accompanied by the ejection of radioactive materials into the environment; - ejections of about 250 radioactive isotopes into the environment as a result of the operation of nuclear reactors; - emissions of 85Kr, which changes the electrical conductivity of the atmosphere. This gas behaves like a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, thereby contributing to anthropogenic climate change on Earth; - pollution of the biosphere with plutonium; - radioactive waste is the most important cause of environmental hazard, which remains unresolved. Civilian nuclear power reactors operating throughout the world annually generate large amounts of low-, medium- and high-level radioactive waste. Radioactive pollution accompanies all parts of the complex production of nuclear energy: the extraction and processing of uranium, the operation of nuclear power plants, the storage and regeneration of fuel, which has a significant impact on the environmental friendliness of nuclear energy. In addition, up to 300 natural and technogenic emergencies are registered annually, as a result of which people die and great economic damage is caused. The main reasons for the occurrence of technogenic accidents and catastrophes and the strengthening of the negative impact due to the occurrence of natural and technogenic emergencies in Ukraine are: obsolete fixed assets, in particular for environmental purposes; large volume of transportation, storage and use of hazardous substances; the emergency state of a significant part of public utility networks; insufficient investment support for the process of introducing the latest resource-saving and environmentally friendly technologies in environmentally hazardous industries, primarily in the metallurgical, chemical, petrochemical and energy sectors; environmental problems associated with significant changes in the state of the geological and hydrogeological environment and caused by the closure of unprofitable mining enterprises and mines; unwillingness of economic subjects to take measures to prevent accidents and catastrophes at high-risk and potentially hazardous facilities.
Systems, Decision and Control in Energy VII
This book explores the intricate interplay between burgeoning energy demands and the imperatives of ecological sustainability. The first section, Electric Power Engineering, explores critical innovations in the generation, transmission, and distribution of electric power. As global energy demands rise, the development of efficient and reliable electric power systems becomes essential. This section includes studies on optimizing grid performance, enhancing resilience, and integrating smart grid technologies. Advances in grid automation, energy storage, and demand response are examined, reflecting the shift toward adaptive, efficient, and secure power systems. The second section, Heat Power Engineering, addresses innovations in the generation and distribution of thermal energy. Heat power plays a vital role in industrial processes, residential heating, and energy-intensive applications, particularly in regions with cold climates. Researchers in this section present work on the optimization of heat transfer systems, combined heat and power (CHP) technologies, and efficient thermal energy storage solutions. The third section, Renewable Power Engineering, focuses on the development and integration of sustainable energy sources. Renewable energy technologies, such as wind, solar, hydro, and biomass, have become critical in reducing carbon emissions and achieving energy independence. The contributions in this section highlight advances in renewable energy production, storage, and integration with existing power systems. The final section, Environmental Safety, encompasses research on mitigating the environmental impact of energy production and consumption. With energy systems being one of the primary sources of emissions and pollution, environmental safety has become a central concern in energy research. This section presents studies on emission reduction technologies, pollution control strategies, and sustainable waste management practices within the energy sector. It includes research on air and water quality and sustainable resource utilization, highlighting how environmental safety measures can be incorporated into all stages of energy production and distribution.
