AbstractMunitions and explosives of concern (MEC) in U.S. waters can present a risk to the development and operation of offshore wind energy resources. Therefore, the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management requires offshore wind energy developers to evaluate the risk MEC poses to the development, operation, and maintenance of offshore wind energy generation and transmission systems. This article describes an MEC risk management framework consisting of the following steps: (1) MEC hazard assessment, (2) MEC risk assessment, (3) MEC risk validation, and (4) MEC risk mitigation. The MEC hazard assessment involves historical research to identify MEC potentially present in the development area. The MEC risk assessment evaluates the development activities and provides a relative MEC risk ranking for those activities. The developer determines the acceptability of these risks, and any potentially unacceptable MEC risks undergo risk validation through field surveys. The developer then considers the tolerability of the validated risks and develops and implements an appropriate MEC risk mitigation strategy based on actual site conditions. A risk framework provides a structured method to plan and operationalize the identification, evaluation, and mitigation of MEC risk throughout the development, operation, and maintenance life cycle of an offshore wind energy generation and transmission project.

After several years of intense labor by many industry people, ASME is about to issue its newly approved PRA standard. This standard is for probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) for nuclear power plant applications. It is not a standard on how to build a PRA model; although, that could be inferred from the standard’s technical requirements. This Standard sets forth requirements for PRAs used to support risk-informed decisions related to design, licensing, procurement, construction, operation, and maintenance. It also prescribes a method for applying these requirements depending the degree to which risk information is needed and credited.

Operation of the rolling stock is associated with a number of risks. The consequences of failures are sometimes very serious - safety or the environment, sometimes only economic. A significant factor affecting the safe operation of railway vehicles is maintenance. The paper presents methods of risks assessment and possibilities of their reduction in design, operation and maintenance of railway vehicles. Special attention is given to the new "silent brakes" and safety related issues for freight wagons.

The article describes the development of an innovative microgrid landfill on the territory of the branch of NRU MPEI in Volzhskiy. The power park is considered as a microgrid with traditional and renewable energy sources. The aim of this facility is to provide heat and electricity to the institute's building and a practical study of the operation and maintenance of power equipment. The types of cogeneration plants are defined. Possible variants of the equipment layout with the determination of the power factor of each unit are considered. Trigeneration is proposed for the profitable use of the thermal steam of the units, which will contribute to saving electricity for cooling the institute in the summer. By analogy with the mathematical theory of Sharpe-Markowitz and J. R. R. Tolkien a graph of the dependence of the cost of 1 kWh and the risk assessment of energy supply in % of all equipment layout options of each variant is constructed. Based on the obtained data, a conclusion is formed about the optimization of power equipment for the Power Park.
