CSA: Thực hành nông nghiệp thông minh với khí hậu ở Việt Nam

During the last five years, Vietnam has been one of the countries most affected by climate change. Severe typhoons, flooding, cold spells, salinity intrusion, and drought have affected agriculture production across the country, from upland to lowland regions. Fortunately for Vietnam, continuous work in developing climate-smart agriculture has been occurring in research organizations and among innovative farmers and entrepreneurs. Application of various CSA practices and technologies to adapt to the impact of climate change in agriculture production have been expanding. However, there is a need to accelerate the scaling process of these practices and technologies in order to ensure growth of agriculture production and food security, increase income of farmers, make farming climate resilient, and contribute to global climate change mitigation. This book aims to provide basic information to researchers, managers, and technicians and extentionists at different levels on what CSA practices and technologies can be up scaled in different locations in Vietnam

A Solution to Ensure Ventilation when Expanding the Area of Cam Thanh Underground Coal Mine, Ha Long Coal Company, Vietnam

In the process of underground mining, the mining system changes for various reasons. One of the main reasons is changes in the mining production plans, especially the scales and outputs. Nowadays, coal mines in Vietnam have been expanding in width and depth, and so have the mines’ ventilation systems. Consequently, there will be changes in the alteration of the structure of the design ventilation system, which reduces the effectiveness of the ventilation and does not meet the main objective of mine ventilation, directly affect the safety of the working environment in the mine. Therefore, it is necessary to research the improvement of the ventilation system with the development and specific conditions of underground coal mines in Vietnam, improving the efficiency of the ventilation work and assuring the safety of the mine environment. Cam Thanh coal mine, Ha Long coal company, Vietnam, is the case study for this research. The article considers the plan of increases the mining output by more than 1.5 times, propose solutions to improve the ventilation system accordingly, helping the company proactively implement the production plan, ensure the working environment's safety, and reduce the costs of mine ventilation

Some Effects on the Temperature of the Mine Air at the Heading Face

Currently, with the increase in mining output leading to deeper mining levels, the volume of heading face serving production has also increased. The thermal environment tends to worsen when digging deep due to the geothermal's effect, which increases the air temperature at the heading face. According to QCVN01/2011-BCT, the temperature at the heading face is not allowed to exceed 300C. To ensure this, in Vietnam today, mainly forced ventilation method uses local fans to provide a clean amount of air to ensure a favorable environment for workers. With the forced ventilation method, the duct position is usually arranged on the side, and the distance from the duct mouth to the heading face is determined to ensure that l < 6√s. In this study, a numerical simulation method by Ansys CFX software is applied to study the influence of several factors such as duct position, air temperature of duct, and roughness characteristics of roadway on the temperature of the mine air at the heading face. The models are set up with six duct positions and four air temperature of duct parameters. Model 1 (y =1.1 m) is better than models 2 to 6 in terms of temperature distribution and the lowest temperature values. Four models have different wind temperatures, and we can see the significant influence of the inlet air temperature of the duct on the thermal environment of the heading face. The results show that with the model T = 297.15K, the temperature value on the roadway length is guaranteed as specified < 303K. The result is a reference for determining the duct position and cool for the high-temperature heading face

Reseach Old Rubber Tires Utilization to Increase the Life of Support in the Longwall at Quang Ninh Vietnam

In longwall mining where use frame support and control roof by full caving; rocks could impact the support, damage some its details and reduce support’s longevity. Using waste, elastic, and deformable capability materials (like old truck tires) not only reduce impulse which impact the support fatally and increase support’s longevity, but also contribute to protect the environment

Symulacja i przewidywanie dróg ewakuacyjnych dla Sieci Wentylacyjnej Spółki Węglowej Duong Huy przy użyciu oprogramowania VENTSIM DESIGN

In underground coal mining, the ventilation task plays an important role because it ensures enough fresh air for workers and decrease negative effects of deleterious gases released from coal seam as well as blasting explosions. Furthermore, when coal mines go deeper, the ventilation task is more and more important. In order to guarantee good ventilation performance, we should apply a simulation software. In this article, we present the application of Ventsim DESIGN software for ventilation network of Duong Huy Coal company as well as prediction of escape routes in urgent cases. The simulation results demonstrate that the software offers good performance, stable operation as well as the suitable escape routes in urgent cases.W podziemnym górnictwie węgla wentylacja odgrywa ważną rolę, ponieważ zapewnia wystarczającą ilość świeżego powietrza dla pracowników i zmniejsza negatywne skutki uwalniania się szkodliwych gazów z pokładów węgla oraz możliwość wystąpienia wybuchów. Ponadto, gdy eksploatacja sięga głębiej, zadanie wentylacji jest coraz ważniejsze. W celu zagwarantowania dobrej wydajności wentylacji do obliczeń sieci wentylacyjnej stosuje się oprogramowanie symulacyjne.

Three-Phase Five-Level Cascade Quasi-Switched Boost Inverter

This paper presents a three-phase cascaded five-level H-bridge quasi-switched boost inverter (CHB-qSBI). The merits of the CHB-qSBI are as follows: single-stage conversion, shoot-through immunity, buck-boost voltage, and reduced passive components. Furthermore, a PWM control method is applied to the CHB-qSBI topology to improve the modulation index. The voltage stress across power semiconductor devices and the capacitor are significantly lower using improved pulse-width modulation (PWM) control. Additionally, by controlling individual shoot-through duty cycle, the DC-link voltage of each module can achieve the same values. As a result, the imbalance problem of the DC-link voltage can be solved. A detailed analysis and operating principle with the modulation scheme and comprehensive comparison for the CHB-qSBI are illustrated. The experimental and simulation results are presented to validate the operating principle of the three-phase CHB-qSBI
