Concept of Integrity, Reliability and Safety of Energy and Transport Systems for Cold Climate Regions

Abstract

The concepts of providing the integrity, reliability and safety of the energy and transport systems in the Arctic zone are considered. The inadmissibility of using the concept of acceptable, or tolerable, risk to ensure the operational safety of potentially hazardous facilities used in extreme environment has been validated by the history and reasons of risk analysis reviewing. The new concept for transport and energy systems operating in cold climates has been proposed to include in the security concept flexible information monitoring and control systems that take into account the state of environment, the engineering system and the operator himself. The promptness of implementation of the new concept of renewable development is dictated by the modern transitional state of society from thoughtless consumption of resources to the minimization of environmental damage and the inadmissibility of human casualties, called Industry 5.0.

On Development Prospects of the Energy Industry in the Russian Far North

“…A revival of large-scale development and structural change in the energy sector of the Republic began only after the recession during the period of transition from a centrally planned and controlled economy to a market-driven economy at the end of the first decade of the 21st century. It occurred in line with the main anticipated trends laid down in the Energy Strategy of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) to 2030 [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”

Materials Science of the North and the Artic for the industry of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)

“…Хотя химия и материаловедение, металлургия, машиностроение и авиакосмическая отрасль решают принципиально разные задачи, общими для них остаются фундаментальные физические законы и принципы, определяющие предельные свойства структур и оптимальные соотношения свойств конструкционных и функциональных материалов. В настоящее время мир поставлен перед необходимостью решения ряда насущных вопросов, связанных с безопасностью создаваемых и уже используемых сложных технических систем, включая энергетические комплексы и протяженные транспортные системы, в том числе эксплуатируемые в экстремальных климатических условиях Севера и Арктики [4,5,8].…”
