  • Chapter 7. Cities of the Russian North in the Context of Climate Change
    ? chapter seven Cities of the Russian North in the Context of Climate Change Oleg Anisimov and Vasily Kokorev Introduction In addressing Arctic urban sustainability, one has to deal with the com- plex interplay of multiple factors, such as governance and economic development, demography and migration, environmental changes and land use, changes in the ecosystems and their services, and climate change.1 While climate change can be seen as a factor that exacerbates existing vulnerabilities to other stressors, changes in temperatures, precipitation, snow accumulation, river and lake ice, and hydrological conditions also have direct implications for Northern cities. Climate change leads to a reduction in the demand for heating energy, on one hand, and heightens concerns about the fate of the infrastruc- ture built upon thawing permafrost, on the other. Changes in snowfall are particularly important and have direct implications for the urban economy, because, together with heating costs, expenses for snow removal from streets, airport runways, roofs, and ventilation spaces underneath buildings standing on pile foundations built upon perma- frost constitute the bulk of a city’s maintenance budget during the long cold period of the year. Many cities are located in river valleys and are prone to fl oods that lead to enormous economic losses, inju- ries, and in some cases human deaths. The severity of the northern climate has a direct impact on the regional migration of labor. Climate could thus potentially be viewed as an inexhaustible public resource that creates opportunities for sustainable urban development (Simp- 142 | Oleg Anisimov and Vasily Kokorev son 2009). Long-term trends show that climate as a resource is, in fact, becoming more readily available in the Russian North, notwith- standing the general perception that globally climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity in the twenty-fi rst century.

    SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT 2015 ALROSA* is a Russian Group of diamond mining companies that occupies a leading position in the industry and has the largest rough diamond reserves in the world. The Group accounts for one third of the reserves and more than a quarter of the production of the global rough diamonds market. The key areas of activity, comprising the focus of the major strategic efforts of the Group, are deposits exploration, mining, processing and sales of rough diamonds. The core activities of ALROSA Group are concentrated in two regions of the Russian Federation, namely the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the Arkhangelsk Region, as well as on the African continent. The majority of ALROSA Group revenue comes from selling rough diamonds. Rough diamonds are sold under long-term agreements to Russian and foreign diamond cutting companies. The rough diamond segment accounts for about 90% of the total Group revenue. *For the purpose of this Report, ALROSA Group means PJSC ALROSA and its subsidiaries.

The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps.

  • Capacitive Power Taking Off from High Voltage Transmission Lines
    2018 International Theoretical and Practical Conference on Alternative and Smart Energy (TPCASE 2018) ISBN: 978-1-60595-617-6 Capacitive Power Taking Off From High Voltage Transmission Lines Marina Rozhina, Nadezhda Buryanina, Yury Korolyuk and Anna-Mariia Timofeeva ABSTRACT A complex infrastructure and transport scheme of fuel supply, long and busy power lines, extreme continental climate with temperature changes from -50 to +45 ºС - all these factors have a negative impact on the quality of electricity. There is high probability of accidents due to the unreliability of electrical networks. This paper describes a method of power supply to remote consumers of "low" power without the construction of high-power transformer substations and the use of diesel generators. INTRODUCTION The Russian Federation is the largest country in the world by area. It occupies a huge area of 17.1 million square kilometers. Most of its territory is concentrated in the North. The energy problems of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) are due to its territory and non-settlement. Occupying the sixth part of Russian territory, the population of Yakutia is only about one million. Yakutia is divided into 4 energy areas—Central, Western, South Yakutian and Northern. More than 900 thousand people live in these four energy areas. The research considers the Northern energy area, which occupies 2/3 of the territory of the whole Yakutia (2.2 million square kilometers). The total installed capacity is 184.9 MW (electricity) and 92.4 Gcal/h (heat). The main sources of heat and electricity are diesel power plants, but in addition, 19 solar power plants ____________ Marina Rozhina, North-Eastern Federal University, 808 Office, 50 Kulakovskogo Street, Yakutsk, Russia Nadezhda Buryanina, Yury Korolyuk, Anna-Mariia Timofeeva, Chukotka branch of North- Eastern Federal University, 4-106 Office, 3 Studencheskaya Street, Anadyr, Russia 253 with a total capacity of 1.6 MW operatein the Northern part of Yakutia, which are the largest in the Arctic, and 2 wind power plants (290 kW).
