Одной из разновидностей устройств, осуществляющих импульсные методы обработки давлением, являются двухкамерные устройства для листовой штамповки, использующие в качестве энергоносителя газовоздушные топливные смеси. Подача сжатого воздуха в камеру сгорания в рассматриваемом двухкамерном устройстве для листовой штамповки осуществляется компрессором. Проведен анализ термодинамических процессов, протекающих в камере сгорания и рабочем цилиндре двухкамерного устройства для листовой штамповки. При этом установлено, что энергия, затрачиваемая на работу компрессора, составляет около 45% от энергии, выделяющейся в камере сгорания. Получена зависимость для определения термодинамического КПД двухкамерных устройств для листовой штамповки, величина его составляет около 0,25. Установлено, что энергоэффективность двухкамерных устройств не уступает энергоэффективности традиционного штамповочного оборудования, при этом затраты на энергоносители двухкамерных устройств ниже за счет использования дешевого энергоносителя. В двухкамерном штамповочном устройстве для листовой штамповки электрическая энергия, используемая на работу компрессора, составляет менее 1/3 общей потребляемой энергии устройства. Поэтому при прочих равных условиях расходы на энергоносители будут значительно меньше, чем в штамповочном оборудовании, работающем на электрическом токе One of the types of devices that carry out pulse methods of pressure treatment are two-chamber devices for sheet stamping, using gas-air fuel mixtures as an energy carrier. The supply of compressed air to the combustion chamber in the considered two-chamber device for sheet stamping is carried out by a compressor. We carried out the analysis of thermodynamic processes taking place in the combustion chamber and the working cylinder of a two-chamber device for sheet stamping. We found that the energy spent on the operation of the compressor is about 45% of the energy released in the combustion chamber. We obtained the dependence for determining the thermodynamic efficiency of two-chamber devices for sheet stamping; its value is about 0.25. We established that the energy efficiency of two-chamber devices is not inferior to the energy efficiency of traditional stamping equipment, while the energy costs of two-chamber devices are lower due to the use of a cheap energy carrier. In a two-chamber die-forging device for sheet metal stamping, the electrical energy used to operate the compressor is less than 1/3 of the total energy consumption of the device. Therefore, all other things being equal, the cost of energy carriers will be significantly less than in stamping equipment operating on electric current

This work aims to consider the combination of different technologies regarding energy production and management with four possible configurations. We present an energy management algorithm to detect the best design and the best configuration from the combination of different sources. This combination allows us to produce the necessary electrical energy for supplying habitation without interruption. A comparative study is conducted among the different combinations on the basis of the cost of energy, diesel consumption, diesel price, capital cost, replacement cost, operation, and maintenance cost and greenhouse gas emission. Sensitivity analysis is also performed.

This paper summarizes the findings from a feasibility study of using renewable energy sources in combination with conventional power systems to meet the electrical requirements for an isolated island of Masirah in Oman. The study has been conducted to determine the best hybrid system to generate electrical energy needed for a small community of 500 residential buildings. A series of a simulation analyses have been carried out to evaluate and optimize different distribution technologies including photovolatics, wind and diesel for electrical generation in combination with storage batteries. It was found that the cost of energy could be reduced by as much as 48% compared to the cost for the baseline generation system currently used in the Masirah Island (i.e. diesel-driven generators). In particular, it was found that wind turbines in combination with storage batteries have a great impact in reducing the cost of generating electrical energy for the residential community. Moreover, solar PV panels were found unattractive under the current diesel price rates but could potentially become viable if the diesel prices increase. The paper outlines an optimal design for generating electricity for the community at lowest cost while minimizing carbon emissions.

Objetivou-se com a realização deste trabalho, estimar o custo com energia elétrica e à diesel para aplicação de 1 milímetro de lâmina de irrigação em uma área de 1 hectare. O grupo tarifário considerado foi o “B” para baixa tensão e subgrupo “B2 - Rural”. Os valores tarifários aplicados foram obtidos na Companhia energética de Minas Gerais – CEMIG. O valor adotado para o diesel foi respectivo à média observada na região sul de Minas Gerais no segundo semestre de 2012. Para efeito de cálculos, os rendimentos globais do conjunto motobomba e alturas manométricas totais adotadas foram, respectivamente; 60%, 65%, 70%, 75% e 10, 25, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175 e 200 m.c.a. Para o cálculo do custo total com a aplicação da lâmina de 1mm ha-1 foi considerado que o custo com a energia na atividade de irrigação representa 65% e 75% para elétrica e diesel, respectivamente. Os resultados obtidos mostram um crescimento linear dos custos com energia com o aumento da altura manométrica total. A utilização de sistemas motobomba mais eficientes reduz o custo com energia elétrica na ordem de 7% a 20% e diesel entre 4% a 16%, para as situações propostas.Em todos os casos a energia elétrica é mais favorável com relação ao custo.Palavras-chave: Lâmina de irrigação, Motobomba, Tarifa, Grupo tarifário.COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE COST OF AN IRRIGATION DEPTH USING ELECTRIC ENERGY AND DIESELABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to estimate the cost of electricity and diesel use for application of 1 mm water depth in an area of 1 hectare. The tariff group considered was "B" for low voltage and subgroup "B2 - Rural". The applied tariff rates were obtained from the energy company of Minas Gerais - CEMIG. The value adopted for a liter of diesel fuel was the average observed in the southern region of Minas Gerais in the second semester  of 2012. To do the  calculation, the overall yields adopted for  the whole pump and manometer total elevation  were, respectively, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75% and 10, 25, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200 meters of water column. To calculate the total cost of 1mm ha-1 application, it was considered that the cost of energy on irrigation activity represents 65% and 75% for electricity and diesel, respectively. The results showed a linear increase of energy costs by increasing the manometer total elevation. The use of more efficient pump systems reduces the cost of electric power in the range of 7% to 20% and of diesel by 4% to 16% considering the proposed situations. In all cases, the electrical energy is more advantageous regarding the cost.Keywords: Depth irrigation, Motor-pump, Tariff, Tariff Group.

The issues of optimizing regional pricing are especially acute for the Kaliningrad Region due to its exclave features. At the same time, the cost of energy resources has become one of the main issues in making managerial decisions. Recently, the so-called Technoparks have become one of the new forms of organizing the production process in a certain branch of industry, or a process that is at the junction of several branches. There are a variety of descriptions of the indisputable advantages of this work format for a specific technological process, however, the possibilities in the field of reducing the costs of consumed energy resources that arise with such a local siting of production are not discussed that often. According to the authors of the article, based on the structure of the tariff, it is possible to classify methods of reducing the cost price by the impact on the components of the final cost of energy supply services. It should be noted that the classification sign of saving methods will be precisely the component of the tariff, while the methods themselves can be aimed both at reducing the price expression of each component of the tariff and at the volume of services for this component. The authors have also identified regional features of the pricing processes in the energy industry.

The results of the economic feasibility assessment of photovoltaic (PV) microgeneration systems by the criterion of the cost of energy are presented. The assessment is based on dynamic modelling of three different configurations of grid-connected PV systems - without energy storage, with electrical energy storage and with thermal energy storage - performed for weather and electricity tariff conditions of several prospective Russian regions. Government support measures and regulatory standards currently developing in Russia for microgeneration technologies are taken into account. It is shown that under certain conditions PV microgeneration technologies could be economically feasible in some energy isolated areas and non-pricing zones of the wholesale electricity and capacity market of Russia, particularly in the Sakha Republic, whereas in pricing zones - couldn’t for any of the considered system configurations.

Abstract Terrestrial mobile robotics are increasingly important to a range of missions including planetary exploration, search and rescue, logistics, and national security. Many of these missions require the robot to operate on a broad variety of terrain. Wheels are ideal for energy efficiency but can suffer catastrophic failure when presented with obstacles or complex ground. Legs can help navigate obstacles but at the cost of energy efficiency. Physical adaptation can enable a robot to benefit from both modes of locomotion. This paper describes a new approach to physical adaptation through manipulation. Specifically, this paper examines how manipulators can be used to change the vehicle's mode of locomotion and improve energy efficiency and versatility. This paper presents “swappable propulsors”, which can be easily attached/detached to adapt the vehicle through the use of permanent magnets. A new robot system that uses its manipulator to discretely switch between wheeled and legged locomotion is created. The experimental results demonstrate how this approach provides a unique combination of energy efficiency and versatility. This work describes the design of swappable propulsors, analyzes how to manipulate them, and describes how they can be used to improve performance. This work extends on prior work with additional analysis, an improved robot prototype, and new experimental results.

The Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) came to power in 2009 promising significant transportation sector reform, but it has struggled to implement its proposals. I argue that the DPJ's initiatives faltered due to the legacy of “efficiency clientelism.” Historically, Japanese transportation policy combined two imperatives: (1) encourage efficiency by raising the cost of energy-inefficient transportation, and (2) redistribute benefits to supporters of the incumbent Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). Because of the legacy of efficiency clientelism, DPJ campaign pledges—designed to appeal broadly to the general public by reducing transportation costs—ran up against the prospect of sharp declines in revenues and energy efficiency. Efficiency clientelism was well suited to political realities in Japan prior to the 1990s, but recent developments have undercut its viability. This raises profound questions about the sustainability of Japan's energy efficiency achievements.

Brazil is currently undergoing changes to regulations on distributed generation (DG), specifically for solar energy micro-generation. The changes proposed by the Brazilian Regulatory Agency suggest that only the cost of energy be compensated to investors. The service costs and other charges related to energy tariffs must be divided among consumers. Investors with existing installations and class entities have contested these proposals, calling them “sun-fees”. To date, no scientific papers have been published discussing these changes. The new regulations propose an end to cross subsidies, where all consumers (even those who do not have DG) pay for the transmission and distribution systems. This study compares the economic feasibility of micro-generation before and after implementing the new standards proposed by the regulatory agency. We used data on average electrical energy demand, energy price, and solar radiation in different regions. The national averages were used as a base comparison with other scenarios. The results show that projects are viable for all analyzed scenarios, however, after implementing the proposed changes, the discounted payback time is extended. This, however, does not make projects unfeasible.

The application of solar energy technology is of vital significance to the development of China’s residential housing. As one kind of renewable energy source, solar energy has its advantages and distinct defects at the same time, thus, the application of such source is greatly limited. In China, an issue with realistic significance is reducing the cost of total energy consumption through solar energy to achieve the purpose of energy saving and emission reduction.
