Study of decentralised energy options in the rural sector of India

U ovom završnom radu objašnjene su osnove o vjetroturbinama, opisane su tehničke osobine svakog dijela vjetroturbine kao i vjetroturbine u cjelini. Pojedinačno su sagledani svi dijelovi vjetroturbine svrstani u četiri grupe, a to su: rotor, kućište, postolje i temelji. Prikazana je razlika između različitih tipova vjetroturbina, te njihove prednosti i mane. Date su i određene smjernice i prijedlozi za izradu vjetroturbina. Izvršen je proračun žičano učvršćenog stupnog postolja u kojem se vrši prikaz izbora materijala i elemenata od kojih će se izraditi vjetroturbina. Određene su tehnike spajanja dijelova, te osim objašnjenja montaže i demontaže, konstruirana je i transportna kutija. Paralelno s konstruiranjem vođen je proračun sila i naprezanja po pojedinim dijelovima. Nakon proračuna postolja izrađen je 3D računalni model čija je tehnička dokumentacija priložena u ovaj rad, te isto tako i umanjeni fizički model vjetroturbine čiji je postupak izrade prikazan u ovom radu.This final paper explains the basics of wind turbines, describes the technical characteristics of each part of the wind turbine as well as the wind turbines as a whole. All parts of the wind turbine were individually classified into four groups, namely: rotor, housing, base and foundations. The difference between different types of wind turbines, their advantages and disadvantages is shown. Some guidelines and suggestions for making wind turbines are also given. The calculations of the wire-fastened column stand were made, in which a selection of materials and elements from which the wind turbine would be made was presented. Techniques for connecting the parts were determined, and apart from explaining the assembly and disassembly, a transport box was also constructed. In parallel with the design, the calculation of forces and stresses on individual parts is conducted. After calculating the stand, a 3D computer model was created whose technical documentation is enclosed in this paper, as well 90 as a reduced physical model of the wind turbine, whose design procedure is presented in this paper

Altered images: the 2001 state of corporate responsibility in India poll. Understanding and encouraging corporate responsibility in South Asia: update one

TERI-Europe and the New Academy of Business are currently working with various partners on a new initiative to understand and encourage corporate responsibility across South Asia. The initiative seeks to raise awareness and stimulate a proactive corporate responsibility agenda in three South Asian countries - Bangladesh, India, and Sri Lanka. The partners are the Centre for Policy Dialogue (Bangladesh), TERI (India), and LGA Consultants (Sri Lanka). The project is funded by the Asia Division of the UK Department for International Development. Additional support has been obtained from the Commonwealth Science Council, UK. Our vision is to contribute to a positive change towards business practices and attitudes that support sustainable development and poverty eradication in the region. The focus is on expanding the knowledge base of corporate practices in South Asia relating to working conditions within factories; living conditions in surrounding communities; environmental protection; and corporate accountability and transparency. In this way, we aim to provide useful information and tools (such as training materials) for South Asian companies and civil society groups, especially the more vulnerable income groups, in the three countries. We hope that this will assist in eventually elaborating a home-grown agenda of corporate responsibility sensitive to the social, cultural, and economic situation in India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh

This report presents the results of the initiative’s third activity - an agenda-setting survey on corporate responsibility in Bangladesh. The survey explored the views and expectations of workers, company executives, and civil society groups towards the social, economic, and environmental responsibilities of companies operating in Bangladesh. It was the first to include workers in a survey on corporate responsibility. The survey was carried out in 2003 through a partnership between TERI-Europe, LGA Consultants, and the Centre for Policy Dialogue in Dhaka. The results presented in this report are intended to provide a better understanding of attitudes and practices and develop targeted training materials for company executives, workers, and community representatives
