Energy production in Kosova and regional perspectives

This paper presents and analyses the current state of the energy sector in Kosova. It assesses the potential for development, and investigates the needs of the sector. Kosova’s energy sector is in a dire state presenting an obstacle for economic development of the country. The sector is not compliant with international standards and codes and has negative consequences for both system operators and consumers. In addition, this paper presents a general overview of energy production and use in the region, and discusses the possibility for coalescence. In conclusion, the report presents a few possible scenarios for the development of the energy sector

Development of Laser-induced Grating Spectroscopy for Underwater Temperature Measurement in Shock Wave Focusing Regions

In Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) underwater shock wave focusing generates high pressures at very short duration of time inside human body. However, it is not yet clear how high temperatures are enhanced at the spot where a shock wave is focused. The estimation of such dynamic temperature enhancements is critical for the evaluation of tissue damages upon shock loading. For this purpose in the Interdisciplinary Shock Wave Research Center a technique is developed which employs laser induced thermal acoustics or Laser Induced Grating Spectroscopy. Unlike most of gasdynamic methods of measuring physical quantities this provides a non-invasive one having spatial and temporal resolutions of the order of magnitude of 1.0 mm3 and 400 ns, respectively. Preliminary experiments in still water demonstrated that this method detected sound speed and hence temperature in water ranging 283 K to 333 K with errors of 0.5%. These results may be used to empirically establish the equation of states of water, gelatin or agar cells which will work as alternatives of human tissues
