Application of hydrogen-based energy storage systems in energy-isolated areas

DOI: 10.33917/mic-1.120.2025.103-111

Today, a pressing issue in the field of energy efficiency in the Russian Federation is the problem of energy supply to remote areas. The high cost of fuel delivery to such regions of the country makes the use of renewable energy sources attractive. In this article, using the example of the village of Tiksi, the efficiency of combining traditional diesel generation and wind energy is shown, a technical and economic assessment of various ways of configuring the energy system is given, the possibility of using a hydrogen-based energy storage system to ensure uninterrupted power supply to the settlement from renewable energy sources and complete replacement of diesel generation in the energy system is demonstrated.

The concept of early degassing of coal seams for the development of the coal industry and the economy of the region

DOI: 10.33917/mic-1.120.2025.96-102

Early degassing of coal seams is one of the key technologies aimed at optimizing coal mining processes, minimizing negative environmental impacts, and increasing safety during coal mining. Advance degassing is a process in which hydrocarbon gas is removed from coal seams in advance, which reduces the risk of its accumulation and explosions during mine development. The creation of a concept for the implementation of early degassing of coal seams contributes to the development of the coal industry and, as a result, the development of the region’s economy.

The mechanism of implementation of projects for the modernization of local energy systems within the framework of corporate social responsibility of mining enterprises of the Far North

DOI: 10.33917/mic-6.119.2024.81-93

The authors analyzed the features of the functioning of diesel power plants in the decentralized regions of Yakutia and justified the need for their modernization using energy storage systems that optimize operating modes and reduce fuel consumption. A model of multilateral partnership is proposed, which includes three key elements: a Coordinating Council, a Project office and a Public Supervisory Board. A comprehensive system of socio-economic criteria for the selection of projects has been developed. The financial mechanism based on the creation of the energy development fund of the Far North, formed at the expense of contributions from mining enterprises and co-financing from regional authorities, is presented. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the development of a mechanism for integrating projects for the modernization of local energy systems into the structure of corporate social responsibility strategies of extractive enterprises, which ensures sustainable financing and implementation of projects. The results of the study can be used in the implementation of energy projects in other regions.

Digital technologies in the management of energy resources in the Arctic zone

DOI: 10.33917/mic-6.119.2024.71-80

The article substantiates the necessity of introducing digital technologies based on artificial intelligence in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation. According to the methodology of the World Bank, the indicators of energy production and consumption per capita are important characteristics that reflect not only the dynamics of economic development of regions, but also the quality of life of the population. This study analyzes energy production and consumption in the period from 1990 to 2023, including four regions, the territories of which are fully included in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation. The article touches upon the impact of modern technologies based on artificial intelligence (AI) on energy consumption in the future, the use of predictive analytics for sustainable operation of energy systems in the Arctic. It also suggests the possibility of improving the energy efficiency of data centers in the Arctic zone, taking into account the use of natural cooling of servers.

Experience in implementing the principles of client-centricity in the regions of Russia

DOI: 10.33917/mic-3.116.2024.81-89

The relevance of the research is due to the need to transition public administration and the process of providing public functions and services to a client-centered model based on ensuring effective interaction between the state, society and business. The experience of implementing a client-centric approach in a number of regions of Russia is analyzed and the authors came to the conclusion that despite the existing standards and requirements for the implementation of a client-centric approach in state and municipal management, the regions independently determine actions to implement these requirements. Recommendations aimed at rethinking public administration and improving its effectiveness are proposed.

DOI: 10.33917/mic-4.111.2023.82-93

Examines the state of the healthcare system in the regions of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation based on the analysis of the level of provision of the population with healthcare facilities and personnel, judging by such specific indicators of annual state statistical reporting as the number of doctors of all specialties and secondary medical personnel, the burden on healthcare workers, the number of secondary medical personnel per doctor, the population per one a hospital bed, the capacity of outpatient clinics, the morbidity of the population with a diagnosis established for the first time in their lives. The ranking of the main classes of diseases according to the indicator characterizing the number of cases was also carried out. The dynamics of changes in these specific indicators from 2005 to 2021 is given, which allowed us to identify trends towards an increase or decrease in the quantitative values of the indicators under consideration.
