In order to achieve an increase in the profitability of tissue paper production, this research aimed to identify factors that affect the degree of pulp refinement and the tension index of the tissue paper when using short fiber, long fiber and Quimizine B enzyme. The methodology considered laboratory experiments, obtaining refining curves, multilevel factorial design and response surface diagrams. The results indicated that the most significant common factor in the pulp refining degree and tension index is the specific energy consumption for both types of fiber, and that optimal operating parameters can be known by analyzing the refining degree and tension index independently and simultaneously. It was concluded that the multilevel factorial design allowed to identify significant factors that influence the properties of the refining degree and the resistance of tissue paper when looking for an individual and simultaneous optimum and, that the influence of the enzyme increased the properties of the refining degree and the tensile strength of the paper when using raw material of short and long fiber from Eucalyptus globulus and Pinus radiata, respectively.

The State of Mexico is a Mexican entity facing socio-environmental problems: destruction of forest resources, water and air pollution, and poor quality of basic services. This paper analyzes its socio-urban metabolism between 2010 and 2020, considering it as a thermodynamic machine. Using Material Flow and Energy Flow Analysis (MFAE), indicators of consumption and emissions of electricity, fuel, water and social aspects (schooling, social security, economically active population and PBT) were obtained. Metabolic Indexes (MI) were calculated to indicate consumption by municipality. The results showed increases in: fuel consumption (275%), water (130%) and decrease in electricity consumption (-65.7%) due to costs, overcrowding and theft, indicating a governmental inability to provide services. On the social issue, the quality of education declined despite the decrease in the illiterate population. Access to social security rose (27%) in 2020, but public entities are bankrupt and 47.9% of the population is poor. The MI showed that the most consuming municipalities are those in the Toluca Valley and those in the suburbs of Mexico City. Despite the alignment of urban planning to the SDGs, they are not achieved due to methodologies that do not contemplate thermodynamic laws, socio-environmental complexity and, therefore, long-term sustainability.

The paper presents a case study of a hydroelectric facility with water depletion problems. The objective was to evaluate the use of the available hydro-energy potential by applying an integrating methodology contributing to the improvement of energy efficiency and the use of water resources in the process of transforming hydraulic energy into electricity. The results demonstrate the existence of overconsumption of available water and oversizing of the mechanical transmission, both of which constitute operating problems. The solution to the problem, although simple, provided a methodology that integrates knowledge of fluid dynamics, hydraulic turbines, electrical machines and machine elements. The analyzed problem constitutes an integrating exercise for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in the area of Hydroenergy and the rational use of water resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

SMACH (Multi-agent Simulation of Human Activity and Household Consumption) is a simulation platform within EDF's R&D framework. It uses simulation to anticipate and reduce energy consumption at different places of analysis (home, district, town, country). With this paper we aim to explain what the course of action technological research program involves, and to this end we refer to several years of SMACH research. We essentially focus on the importance of the organic relationship between technology and human activity, and we show how this organic relationship evolves over the different stages that this technological research program involves. This paper may be viewed as a basis for generalizing and clarifying the criteria required to validate such a program and as a contribution towards reflection on design in ergonomics.

The existing combined regulation methods do not lead to efficient management of water in isolated hydraulic turbines; these do not prioritize the minimization of the value of the resistive dump load. In this paper, a frequency regulation scheme was proposed that combines a minimum dump resistive load and the flow of the Pelton turbines that operate autonomously. At the begining on this paper was identified the state of the art of autonomous isolated hydro. Also was charactererized in cuban contect and the posibilities of dump load and flow cntrolls methods. Finally was evauated the combination of this two methods due to a generalized cuban study case. The simulation results of the method in Matlab®/Simulink was processed through a case study, from models obtained in previous investigations, contrasted with benchmark reported in the literature. With this scheme it was possible to increase the energy efficiency of autonomous mini-hydroelectric plants. Through simulation the proposed scheme was validated in a way that complies with Cuban standard NC62-04, with a reduction of the resistive dump load at 6% of the generator nominal power value.

The circular economy (CE) model promotes the production of goods and services in a sustainable way, optimizing the consumption of natural resources and mitigating the wastes. In the last years, this model has received a lot of attention and support at the governments' level, internationally; also, in Latin America. Cuba pleads for a sustainable development, with political and incentives for the recycling, the use of the renewable sources and the energy efficiency, as impeller motor of its economic model. Hence, Cuban universities have been requested to include this topic in their study plans, for all the careers. The objective of this paper is to describe how the topic of Circular Economy has been incorporated in the Study Plan of the Electrical Engineering Career at the Technological University of Havana "José A. Echeverría "CUJAE and the results, during the implementation in the 2021 academic year. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Due to the constant growth of global environmental pollution, the sectors related to the electrical industry have focused on finding solutions to achieve efficient energy consumption. Among the devices that have been incorporated to carry out improvements in electricity consumption are smart sockets. This paper presents a prototype for a general-purpose smart socket. The design considers the main components of a smart plug: measurement unit, control unit, processing unit, and communication interface. The prototype is based on free hardware, with easy access, low cost, and consumption. This work successfully developed a device capable of measuring, controlling, and monitoring the electrical behavior of equipment connected to the power grid. Additionally, it incorporates temperature, light, and humidity sensors to complement the electrical measurements. The prototype presented offers the possibility of developing many functionalities and services aimed at energy efficiency on the topic of the Internet of Things (IoT). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Biomass for energy generation is an attractive alternative to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and their environmental impact. Thus, the geographical location of the production and consumption sites, logistics, as well as the planning of the supply chain are crucial factors for the assessment and implementation of bioenergy projects. Although several studies have addressed these problems separately, there are few papers that integrate all these aspects. This study focuses on the integration of geographic information systems, transport modelling, and transportation costs optimization through the use of a web platform to determine biomass production and consumption sites for energy purposes. Through a case study and the analysis of different supply and demand scenarios, the operation of the optimization module is evaluated. The results allow optimally estimating the distribution of biomass from different supply centers (storage nodes), towards different users (demand nodes), taking the cost of transport as an objective function. The optimal distribution of biomass allows planning its use for different regions of interest at the national level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

On 26 April 1986, one of the most important events in the history of nuclear energy took place: the Chernobyl accident. This historic event marked the decline of the Soviet Union, an environmental agenda and new geopolitics of the world. It has been portrayed in literature, film, photo-reportage and documentary, among others. This paper seeks to analyse and contrast the HBO series Chernobyl (2019) and Svetalna Alexievich's Voices from Chernobyl (1997), specifically the relationship between reality and literary and filmic reconstruction. For this purpose, we use a descriptive-argumentative logic and a visual analysis with a mixed methodology. The analysis reveals a conflictive relationship between the two works, since the testimonies recorded in the book are easily recognisable in the series, although the latter has never specified that they are based on the book. Among the conclusions, the narrative structure carrying ideology (which seeks to strengthen a collective imaginary over the commonly accepted biases about the Soviet Union and its model of socialism), carried out with remarkable art direction, stands out. Finally, the series comes at a time of widespread debate in civil society about the use of nuclear energy, just as the end of the current model of fossil fuel-based energy generation for society and heavy industry approaches.

Electric mobility is a sustainable alternative that allows the reduction of energy consumption and the emission of polluting gases with respect to conventional mobility. There are projections that predict an increase in the use of electric vehicles. Thus, several lines of research deal with the characteristics of the integration of these new demands and the effects that will occur on electrical systems. The main goals of this paper are: (i) to determine the impact of a moderate insertion of public charging points on the network; (ii) to evaluate the penetration level of EVs of residential users for slow and semi-fast home charging modes (G2V), according to restrictions of operation variables from the grid; and (iii) to propose some management strategies for controlled recharging and the dual function of charging and supplying energy from the electric vehicles to the grid through their storage batteries (V2G). The obtained results show that the moderate incorporation of public charging points does not significantly affect the operability of the network. Furthermore, it is shown that the controlled recharging of electric vehicles manages to reduce the negative impacts on the electrical system under study, allowing higher levels of insertion and/or delaying investments in the electrical infrastructure. An operation mode with energy from the electric vehicles to the grid would allow displacing the peak generation characterized by its high levels of pollution. Nevertheless, this mode of operation makes the system more susceptible to operating within inadmissible ranges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper approaches the issue of the partial introduction of electric vehicles in the public transport sector, analyzing the possible reduction of environmental pollution and fossil fuel consumption by replacing part of the real fleet as the main aim. Starting from the previous analyzes and the characterization of the vehicles fleet belonging to the company, a substitution is proposed based on the changes that would be made in the associated electrical system, as well as the electric vehicle technology itself through the technical, economic and environmental evaluation, taking into account two prototypes that are currently working. The results of the research show the benefits of replacing internal combustion cars with electric ones, based on the savings obtained in operation and maintenance, as well as the reduction of greenhouse emissions.
