Currently, a great emphasis is put on the environment, energy intensity, and therefore on applications of the renewable energy sources (RES). Putting a large amount of RES into the modern distribution systems represents certain problems we can address, inter alia, the variable energy outputs of RES aggregated together, including their accumulation managed by respective energy management system (EMS). The result may be the optimization unit commitment of RES distributed in the micro-grids of a fictitious intelligen...

In Poland the fundamental energetic material for many years is hard coal. According to draft of energy policy such state will be maintained at least until year 2050. Therefore it is necessary to carry out researches and take actions in order to limit emission of harmful products associated with production and utilization of this mineral. Nowadays, pro-ecological activities, mainly focus on development and application of technology the purest processing of coal into thermal and electrical energy. However less atten...

One of the main factors determining economic and social development of particular countries is availability of cheap energy source. In a case of European countries, this availability has also important influence on the integration process. Amount of produced energy in given country tells about the level of its civilizing development. Also so-called energy independence that most countries are aimed and which guarantees political independence is strictly related to this problem. It can be assumed, that energy is one...

The paper presents the investigation results of rock mass state change regularities taking into account geological and mining factors by complex methods. The authors consider complexing of results from the cluster analysis of seismic events with numerical modelling of stress state in the rock mass on a case study of the Yukspor deposit (the Khibiny rock massif, Murmansk region, Russia). The time and dimensional analysis of the Yukspor deposit?s seismic regime was performed. The cluster groups of seismic events wer...

The authors propose a method for automated processing of seismic data obtained in high-stress rock masses structured as hierarchy of blocks with a view to detecting seismically active zones and seismic event clusters within a mine field. The processing algorithm is developed based on the statistical theory of classification and cluster analysis. Suitable for zoning of seismic data, FOREL family algorithms include algorithms based on the idea of incorporating objects in the zones of their highest concentration into...
