In the scope of ―Shuren hydropower plant‖ (―Project‖), a Feasibility Study will be carried out. The power system network in Mongolia consists of four electric power systems such as Central Electric System (CES), East Electric System (EES), West Electric System (WES) and Altai-Uliastai Electric System (AUES). The largest is the Central Electric System (CES) with installed capacity of 774MW, which covers all consumers of the power supply from the electric power system in major cities and some of mining projects located in the central region. During recent years energy consumption in Mongolia has gradually increased due to its growing economy and population1.In the Master Plan of the Energy Sector of Mongolia the projected yearly growth for electric energy demand is as much as 6% for the years 2001- 2020.With the start of major mining exploration projects, such as Oyu-tolgoi copper mine, Tavantolgoi coal mine, and others, the energy demand on the CES is expected to reach 600MW showing at least a 3.5 percentage yearly increase according to the World Bank‘s forecast2. Mongolia is in danger of a serious energy shortfall as early as 2012, at which point the maximum imported capacity of 255 MW from Russia may not meet demand. Russian power has become more expensive. This shortfall will negatively affect rapid expansion of the country`s mining sector3. To address energy shortfall, the Government cabinet meeting (November 2011) discussed the Shuren hydropower plant (ShurenHPP) along with several other energy projects and recognized the Shuren HPP as a priority project. The main goal of the ‗Shuren HPP Project is to supply the electricity demanded by the mining sector and to fill electricity shortfall faced by the country. Secondary goals are to provide renewable energy, enable energy independence from the Russian power system, and develop a low-cost supply of renewable energy. The MINIS is funding a feasibility study to look at constructing a Shuren hydropower plant on the Selenge River. Within the framework of the

We analyze the dynamics underpinning the Russian Bitcoin mining industry. Russia’s Siberian region houses the dominant share of the country’s mining facilities. A significant energy surplus from advanced hydropower infrastructure in the region enables miners to secure extremely competitive electricity rates. A federal law passed in 2020 clearly defines Bitcoin mining as an economic activity but will require entities to operate in a specific manner. Mining hardware that will be used for proprietary mining must be owned in the name of a foreign entity.

  • Variability of Conch Morphology in a Cephalopod Species from the Cambrian to Ordovician Transition Strata of Siberia
    Variability of conch morphology in a cephalopod species from the Cambrian to Ordovician transition strata of Siberia JERZY DZIK Dzik, J. 2020. Variability of conch morphology in a cephalopod species from the Cambrian to Ordovician transition strata of Siberia. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 65 (1): 149–165. A block of stromatolitic limestone found on the Angara River shore near Kodinsk, Siberia, derived from the exposed nearby Ust-kut Formation, has yielded a sample of 146 ellesmeroceratid nautiloid specimens. A minor contribution to the fossil assemblage from bellerophontid and hypseloconid molluscs suggests a restricted abnormal salinity environment. The associated shallow-water low diversity assemblage of the conodonts Laurentoscandodus triangularis and Utahconus(?) eurypterus indicates an age close to the Furongian–Tremadocian boundary. Echinoderm sclerites, trilobite carapaces, and hexactinellid sponge spicules were found in another block from the transitional strata between the Ust-kut and overlying ter- rigenous Iya Formation; these fossils indicate normal marine salinity. The conodont L. triangularis is there associated with Semiacontiodus iowensis and Cordylodus angulatus. This means that the stromatolitic strata with cephalopods are older than the early Tremadocian C. angulatus Zone but not older than the Furongian C. proavus Zone. The sample of nautiloid specimens extracted from the block shows an unimodal variability in respect to all recognizable aspects of their morphol- ogy. The material is probably conspecific with the poorly known Ruthenoceras elongatum from the same strata and region. Key words: Cephalopoda, Nautiloidea, Endoceratida, Ellesmeroceratina, evolution, Furongian, Tremadocian, Russia.

Evgenia Vanadzina Lappeenranta 2017 Abstract Lappeenranta University of Technology School of Energy Systems Electrical Engineering Kuznetcova Aleksandra Benefits of smart meters in Russian electricity market Master’s thesis 2017 81 pages, 12 figures, 13 tables and 4 appendices Examiners: Prof. Samuli Honkapuro DSc. Evgenia Vanadzina Keywords: smart meters, benefit, electricity market, cost-benefit analysis. Smart metering technologies have become more popular in Europe. The benefits of smart metering are obvious both for different stakeholders, and for the whole energy system. Cost-benefit analysis of smart metering system was implemented for all European countries. However, there is no similar analysis for Russian electricity market. This work aims to consider specific features of electricity market in Russia and conduct a cost-benefit analysis for residential customers from the guaranteeing supplier point of view. Main costs were defined as capital and operational expenditures and main benefits as a profit from demand response, which led to peak demand reduction and decrease in guaranteeing supplier expenses. Results suggest that smart metering system implementation is not economically justified in Russia. However, it can be implemented optionally or subsidized. 2 Table of content 1.

Its banks were subjected to detailed archaeological surveys whose ¿ ndings were integrated into cultural and chronological models. Because most of the Angara has become part of a system of arti¿ cial reservoirs, we are unable to test these models using new planigraphic and stratigraphic information concerning all the riverside archaeological sites. In 2014, we carried out an in-depth archaeological survey of a 115-kilometer stretch of the northern Angara bank between the Boguchany Dam and the village of Boguchany. Survey results were supplemented by archival data. The ancient habitation layer was found to extend over a large area of the Angara terrace. Artifacts have tended to accumulate in weakly strati¿ ed parts of the subaerial complex. Known archaeological sites span the period from the Neolithic to the Late Iron Age. Keywords: Northern Angara region, southern taiga, Neolithic, Bronze Age, Early Iron Age, Late Iron Age, archaeological sites, stratigraphy.

    Journal of Siberian Federal University. Humanities & Social Sciences 6 (2019 12) 1088–1105 ~ ~ ~ УДК 332.1 Current Condition and Prospects of the Spatial Development of the Northern Areas of The Krasnoyarsk Territory Nikolai G. Shishatsky* and Elena A. Bryukhanova Institute of Economics and Industrial Engineering SB RAS 50/45 Akademgorodok, Krasnoyarsk, 660036, Russia Received 24.05.2019, received in revised form 04.06.2019, accepted 07.06.2019 The article studies the peculiarities of spatial peculiarities of the northern areas of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, using three approaches: latitudinal (north- south), longitudinal (west-east) and the development type (intensive, extensive or nature preserving). Each of the approaches characterizes certain aspects of the regional policy aimed at the northern territories. The analysis reveals the main tendencies and trends in the prospective development of the northern areas, and facilitates formulation of the issues that require a regulatory- legal and organizational- administerial consideration. It is concluded that there is a need for a differentiated regional policy concerning separate zones of the northern territories and also on expediency of consideration of the northern macroregion as an independent strategic planning subject at the regional level. Keywords: Northern areas of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, natural and resource potential, latitudinal and longitudinal zoning, intensive and extensive development zones, specially protected natural areas, territory of traditional natural resourse use, regional policy, spatial development.
