Grounding systems for power supply facilities

This study aims to define some recommendations for choice of grounding system type for power supply facility. Operating modes of 0.4 kV networks approved by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) were considered and their advantages and disadvantages were identified. The comparison criteria were based on the conditions of human safety from electric shock in the breakdown of insulation on the body of electrical equipment, possibilities of expanding the network and uninterruptible power supply. The real application of the neutral modes and the possibility of installing protective devices were also taken into account. All the recommendations made is planned to apply for the modernization of the urban networks and the calculation of the earthing arrangement by using special software

Joint Electricity and Heat Production Possibilities on the Basis of the District Trigeneration Plant

Renewable energy has become increasingly important in the last decade due to the limited reserves of fossil fuels and environmental issues related to CO2 emissions. The paper investigates the joint production possibility of electricity and heat in the Tomsk district Stepanovka, using modern trigeneration plant. The analysis was performed based on a comparison of the two alternatives for the area: the use of a diesel power plant (DPP) or gas-piston units (GPU) on biofuel. Technical and economic indicators for two different systems were calculated to evaluate the projects effectiveness

Peculiarities of Translation Realionyms into German

This article considers translation techniques of endemic units in the modern German language which are challenging in terms of translation issues and include the Tomsk realionyms possessing prominent local stylistic color and referring to the realias of toponymy, history and architecture of Tomsk and Tomsk region. German translation of these lexical units seems relevant due to the special status of the German language in the Tomsk region, as well as for the actual needs of the translation and lexicography. Functionally Tomsk realionyms represent intermediate class within a categorical scale of the nomen class ranging from appellativity to propriality - nomen realium, which combines features of serial and individual categories

The Role of Motivation in Technical Translation Teaching to Master Degree Students

The article considers issues of designing the course of technical translation for engineering students from the angle of its motivational constituent. Pedagogical and psychological aspects of engineering students have been viewed on the basis of their age and certain level of experience. Types of exercises developed for the course in technical translation have been analyzed with motivational exercises to be stated as basic ones
