The increased use of electrical systems has led to significant changes in the electromagnetic environment (RFI, TVI, telephone interference, carrier-frequency interference). The extent to which large electrical systems, such as HVDC transmission networks, impinge on the environment has become a topical and even controversial issue. This article takes a look at some of the more important technical considerations as well as the consequences HVDC transmission systems have on human beings and the environment in general. The article also considers briefly what measures can minimise the detrimental effects of HVDC transmission including acoustic noise reduction. - Source: Power Engineering Journal, Volume 10, Issue 5, page: 212 –212

The nuclear power plants designed and constructed under the regime of the former Soviet Union are an essential source of power within both the Russian Federation and the emergent democratic countries of central and eastern Europe. The beginning of `glasnost' opened up pathways to allow practical measures to be taken to enhance the safety standards of Soviet designed reactors. Ensuring that these reactors are operated or dismantled to meet accepted safety standards for nuclear technology is both a challenging task for these countries and for the expert assistance being made available from western countries. In this context the author discusses the work of the World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) is a utility organisation solely concerned with the operational safety of nuclear power plants (NPP) throughout the world. WANOs sole aim is to bring about technical assistance to allow the enhancement of an NPP by providing a mechanism for the comprehensive exchange of information and `knowhow', a vital commodity for many power suppliers in the East. - Author(s): D.H.

Despite significant growth within the Soviet nuclear industry in the 1970s, the underlying ethos legislated against an effective safety culture. In retrospect, it seems to have been almost inevitable that some incident would occur-events at Chernobyl in 1986 merely served to confirm this. This incident alerted Western nuclear experts, as well as the public worldwide, to the risks taken in the Soviet industry. While, in practical terms, Soviet and East European nuclear development slowed considerably, it was not until the collapse of communism that the official standpoint on nuclear power changed and Western operators gained the opportunity to co-operate in safety work. However, the associated political upheaval and economic depression introduce new concerns. This article examines the changes which have occurred in the civil nuclear industry in the former Soviet Union and in Eastern Europe. - Author(s): A. Szyszka

Major system components of possible future energy supply based on hydrogen generated by utilising solar energy have been installed on an industrial scale at Neunburg vorm Wald, Germany. Consideration is given to the initial technical aspects of stepwise transition from present-day energy supply aligned primarily to fossil fuels. Focal points of the investigations being carried out under the project are performance of the plant subsystems (including PV arrays, electrolyzers, and fuel cell plants), most of which constitute prototypes of innovative technologies, and their interaction under practical operation conditions. Analysis of the work has yielded a reliable database for updated assessment of the prospects and challenges of solar hydrogen technology. The present review centres on the technology and operation of the facility with regard to the objectives and perspectives of the project. - Author(s): N. Jenkins

For pt. I see ibid., vol.9, no.3, p.145-50 (1995). This is the second of two tutorial articles dealing with the technical aspects of generation embedded in distribution networks. Generators with a rating of up to 10 MW and a connection voltage of 33 kV or below are considered. The first article discussed the characteristics of electrical plant commonly found in embedded generation schemes. In this second article some aspects of the integration of embedded generators with the distribution network are considered, including: power flows, voltage rise in radial circuit, automatic voltage control, power quality, generator and network protection, and earthing of embedded generators. - Source: Power Engineering Journal, Volume 10, Issue 5, page: 240 –240
