Formation of an intelligent control system in the field of electric power industry based on the technological development of power supply components

The relevance of the paper is determined by the fact that the digital transformation of the country is recognized as one of the priorities for the economic development of the state. It is necessary to remove barriers for the digital transformation in the most promising areas of production and life by stimulating the introduction of digital technologies and attracting investments, overcoming the digital divide, deepening cooperation between states in the digital sphere and developing the country's digital innovation infrastructure. The novelty of the study is determined by the fact that the transition to a new level of digital functioning of electric systems is possible in the context of formation of a smart energy supply system and the introduction of modern information technologies. The authors show that the introduction of new energy meters is the basis for creating an innovative infrastructure of the fuel and energy complex of the national economy. The authors believe that this is the basis for the transition to a new level of energy supply and the introduction of new economic mechanisms for demand management and further development of energy markets. This in turn contributes to the integration of energy systems of different countries. The practical significance of the study is determined by the possibilities of stratification of the economic assessment of the energy industry and the formation of a sustainable assessment of the formation of energy supply systems. It is proposed to determine the needs of industry in sustainable energy supply

Terapascal static pressure generation with ultrahigh yield strength nanodiamond

Studies of materials’ properties at high and ultrahigh pressures lead to discoveries of unique physical and chemical phenomena and a deeper understanding of matter. In high-pressure research, an achievable static pressure limit is imposed by the strength of available strong materials and design of high-pressure devices. Using a high-pressure and high-temperature technique, we synthesized optically transparent microballs of bulk nanocrystalline diamond, which were found to have an exceptional yield strength (~460 GPa at a confining pressure of ~70 GPa) due to the unique microstructure of bulk nanocrystalline diamond. We used the nanodiamond balls in a double-stage diamond anvil cell high-pressure device that allowed us to generate static pressures beyond 1 TPa, as demonstrated by synchrotron x-ray diffraction. Outstanding mechanical properties (strain-dependent elasticity, very high hardness, and unprecedented yield strength) make the nanodiamond balls a unique device for ultrahigh static pressure generation. Structurally isotropic, homogeneous, and made of a low-Z material, they are promising in the field of x-ray optical applications
