The article is devoted to the effective analysis of trench and trenchless pipeline laying technologies. In the course of the work, an analytical review of pipeline assembly was performed, the main technological parameters, the scope of each method, and their advantages and disadvantages were determined. List of considered pipeline laying methods: trenching, horizontal directional drilling, mechanical puncture, hydraulic puncture, microtunneling and punching. The article analyzes the classical trench method and the most widely used trenchless ones: horizontal directional drilling; mechanical puncture; hydraulic puncture; microtunneling; punching. Each of these methods has several advantages and disadvantages. The choice of the optimal method of laying the pipeline depends on many factors: the physical and mechanical properties of soils and hydrogeological conditions, the length and diameter of the pipeline, the presence of other communications, buildings and structures, as well as the budget that customers have. Work time is the last deciding factor. Based on the results of the analysis of pipeline laying technologies and expert survey of construction industry experts, the cost table of each method was compiled, outlining the main characteristics of the technology: length of pipeline, speed of work, scope, cost, and the advantages and disadvantages of each of the considered methods. The conclusions about the use of each of the pipeline laying methods were made. Each of the methods has its advantages and disadvantages, so to choose the method of work it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive assessment of technological parameters, cost, scope and timing of work. The cost of lay-ing the pipeline consists of the following factors: conducting research; selection of diameter and determination of pipeline length; choice of laying method and equipment necessary for the works; selection of equipment, shut-off and control equipment and other materials arranged on the pipeline; terms of performance of works. Taking into account these factors, an estimate is made, which determines the cost of installation of a particular pipeline. After the analysis, we can conclude that among the methods of trenchless laying of pipelines can be identi-fied horizontally directional drilling, it is this method of laying the pipeline will be appropriate to use for our region. The drilling technique allows to carry out pipelines under obstacles, to pull long segments of networks, to repair site damage. This method is universal and can be used in almost any environment. Keywords: trenches, horizontal directional drilling, mechanical puncture, hydraulic piercing, microtunnelling, punching, pipeline.

In this paper, we propose the greedy smallest-cost-rate path first (GRASP) algorithm to route power from sources to loads in a digital microgrid (DMG). Routing of power from distributed energy resources (DERs) to loads of a DMG comprises matching loads to DERs and the selection of the smallest-cost-rate path from a load to its supplying DERs. In such a microgrid, one DER may supply power to one or many loads, and one or many DERs may supply the power requested by a load. Because the optimal method is NP-hard, GRASP addresses this high complexity by using heuristics to match sources and loads and to select the smallest-cost-rate paths in the DMG. We compare the cost achieved by GRASP and an optimal method based on integer linear programming on different IEEE test feeders and other test networks. The comparison shows the trade-offs between lowering complexity and achieving optimal-cost paths. The results show that the cost incurred by GRASP approaches that of the optimal solution by small margins. In the adopted networks, GRASP trades its lower complexity for up to 18% higher costs than those achieved by the optimal solution.

This paper presents a program for the automatic design of special tools developed under a CAD/CAM (computer aided design/manufacture) system. In particular, the special tools made with standard components have been considered. Since the design of these types of tools was essentially related to the selection of their components, this paper deals with this aspect, insisting upon the selection of those components directly related to the removal of material: the toolholders or cartridges and the inserts. To select these components it is necessary to take into account not only geometrical or technological rules but also economical ones, owing to the high amount of possible components they can select. Consideration of economical aspects required the formulation of the cost equation associated with the use of these types of tools, characterized because their cutting edges coincide with different cutting velocities. Likewise, consideration of economical aspects allows the selection of the optimum cutting conditions and the cutting components to take place at the same time. Some of the geometrical and technological parameters related to the selection of cutting components are automatically identified by the system through an automatic identification of the workpiece profile.

Advances in the field of material engineering, computerization, automation, and equipment miniaturization enable modernization of the existing technologies and development of new solutions for construction, inspection, and renovation of underground pipelines. Underground pipe installations are used in the energy sector, gas industry, telecommunications, water and sewage transport, heating, chemical industry, and environmental engineering. In order to build new pipeline networks, dig and no-dig techniques are used. Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is one of the most popular trenchless technologies. The effectiveness of HDD technology application is mostly determined by its properly designed trajectory. Drilling failures and complications, which often accompany the application of the HDD technology, result from poor design of the well path in relation to the existing geological and drilling conditions. The article presented two concepts of Horizontal Directional Drilling well path trajectory design: Classic sectional, which is a combination of straight and curvilinear sections, and a single-section chain curve trajectory (catenary). Taking into account the advantages and disadvantages of the catenary trajectory relative to the sectional trajectory, the author’s solution was presented, which was the implementation of the sectional trajectory with a maximum shape similarity to the catenary trajectory. The new approach allowed us to take advantage of a chain curve trajectory and was easier to implement using the available technology. The least squares method, based on deviations from a catenary trajectory, was set as the matching criterion. The process of searching for a trajectory, being a combination of straight and curvilinear sections as similar as possible to a catenary-type trajectory, was carried out using two methodologies: State space search and a genetic algorithm. The article shows the pros and cons of both optimization methodologies. Taking into account the technical and technological limitations of HDD drilling devices, a new approach was proposed, combining the methodology of state space search with the genetic algorithm. A calculation example showed the application of the proposed methodology in an engineering design process.

Оценка лесовосстановления по спутниковым снимкам и создание системы мониторинга является важной задачей на сегодняшний день. Российские и зарубежные ученые проводят исследования в этом направлении, но анализ лесовосстановления является сложной темой исследования в отличие от выявления вырубок и гарей по спутниковым снимкам. Лесовосстановление также является сложным, многофакторным процессом, зависящим от множества факторов. Данная статья описывает мировой опыт создания различных методик для мониторингалесовосстановления, используя различные подходы анализа данных и сенсоры, установленные на спутниках. В рамках статьи рассмотрено применение оптических, радарных снимков и данных, полученных с лидарных сенсоров. Это попытка структурировать накопленный опыт в данной сфере и сгруппировать разработанные методики для анализа их преимуществ и недостатков. Тип сенсора определяет длительность периода мониторинга. Радарные данные позволяют определять процесс лесовосстановления до 60 лет в отличие от оптических сенсоров, которые имеют значительно меньший период оценки лесовосстановления. Применение радарных данных может быть ограничено стоимостью работы и сложностью обработки радарных данных, поэтому использование тех или иных методик может иметь финансовые ограничения. Данный обзор показывает все основные методы оценки лесовосстановления. Assessment of reforestation using satellite images and creation of a monitoring system is an important task today. Russian and foreign scientists are conducting research in this direction, but the analysis of reforestation is a complex topic of research in contrast to the detection of cuttings and burned areas by satellite images. The process of reforestation is a complex, multi-factor process depending on many factors. This article describes the world experience of creating different methods for monitoring forest regeneration and uses different approaches to data analysis and sensors installed on satellites. In the framework of article was considered using of optical, radar images and data obtained from lidar sensors. This is an attempt to structure the accumulated experience in this field and group the developed methods to analyze their advantages and disadvantages. Data from different sensors have different monitoring period. Radar data allow determining the process of reforestation up to 60 years in contrast to optical sensors, which have a much shorter period of reforestation assessment. The using of radar data were limited by the cost of operation and complexity of radar data processing and using of certain techniques may have financial limitations. This review showed all the main methods of assessment of reforestation.

The article discusses the problem of choosing the number of clusters in popular k-means clustering algorithm. It is noted that an unsuccessful choice of this hyper parameter can lead to the creation of a cluster structure the meaningful interpretation of which in the process of data mining leads to false conclusions and making incorrect management decisions based on them. The aim of the work is to develop a method for automatic selection of the number of clusters for k-means algorithm. The article provides an analytical review of the known methods for determining the number of clusters, their advantages and disadvantages being noted. The proposed approach is based on the elbow method, which uses the entropy of cluster solutions instead of the mean squares of clustering error. A practical example shows that the use of cluster solution entropy makes it possible to choose the number of clusters even in the case when the approach based on clustering error turns out to be untenable.
