This paper presents the use of concentrating solar power technique. It can be used as an important method of creating carbon-free electricity. CSP is currently the most cost-effective way of capturing solar energy, but this might change in the future with further developments in photovoltaics (PV). The paper outlined several variations on the scheme, including systems that use heat to drive a Stirling engine and generator; and hybrid schemes that use mirrors in conjunction with PV. - Author(s): M.

This paper explains on how the replacement of the step-up grid transformers at Cruachan power station was achieved with the least impact to the supply. The approach taken was to address a safety issue and minimise the impact of the transformer fault on the overall generation production from Cruachan using a sound engineering assessment of the fault and risk of failure through routine monitoring of the fault through dissolved gas analysis. The result has been to leave the power station with a reduced risk of failure in the future given the ability to have one transformer out of service while generating through the other unit. - Author(s): I.

This paper presents the need for compatibility between European rail networks. This leads to the adoption of dual 25 kV as the power of choice for operators. Dual 25 kV literally doubles the power available to rail networks, helping rail operators to meet some of the demands they are facing. Not surprisingly, this fact, along with the EU directive on 'interoperability of the trans-European high speed rail system', which aims to ease the circulation of high-speed trains through the various train networks of the European Union, will lead it to become the future standard across Europe. - Author(s): J.-M. Saugrain

This paper presents the use of superconductive cables as a cost-effective way to upgrade urban power networks while protecting the environment. High-temperature superconductor (HTS) cable, which is capable of serving very large power requirements, is one of the technologies with the greatest promise to address these concerns. Because they are actively cooled and thermally independent of the surrounding environment, they can be fit into more compact installations than conventional copper. This advantage reduces environmental impacts. In addition, HTS cables exhibit much lower resistive losses. - Author(s): R. Currie ; G. Ault ; J. Douglas

This paper presents the Distribution Working Group run by the University of Strathclyde is undertaking a project to provide a clear picture of the activities of active management in distributed generation. Active network management (ANM) solutions are developed to enable the increase connection of DG. ANM can be described as the control and management of network equipment and the devices they serve in normal conditions to enhance the utilisation of the network assets and minimise the requirement for their reinforcement to enable development of the system. The main outcomes of a recent project to collate and analyse activities that are ongoing or completed in the area of active management are described in the article. - Author(s): A. Boyko and J.

Wind power in Russia is certainly lagging behind many other European countries, but, with the rising cost of energy, the case for its adoption is growing. For Russia to develop its wind power industry effectively requires clear scientific, industrial and organisational cooperation to deal with wind power resources estimating and turbines production and large-scale wind farm projection. it requires cooperation with foreign wind power companies, help with integration to the national grid and training for wind power engineers. - Author(s): G.
