The modern state of approaches to monitoring the technical condition of wind turbine blades us-ing information technologies

Nowadays wind energy is one of the most important and promising sources of environmentally clean renewable energy. Wind turbine blades are among the most expensive components. Depending on the size, their manufacturing costs range between 10 % and 20 % of total manufacturing costs. Moreover, the size of blades has increased in recent years, leading to greater efficiency and energy production, but presenting higher failure probability.

EFFECT OF LEMNA MINOR POPULATION DENSITY ON BIOELECTRIC PARAMETERS OF ELECTRO-BIOSYSTEMS

The article presents a study of the influence of Lemna minor population density on the bioelectric potential and current of model electro-biosystems in the laboratory сonditions using 500 and 1000 Ω resistors and in the open circuit. The positive effect of increasing the density of duckweed plants populations from 60 to 120 fronds/ml on the growth of bioelectric parameters of model electro-biosystems under load conditions and without resistors was revealed. Increasing the amount of duckweed biomass is a factor of enhancing the efficiency of electro-biosystems based on L.

Activation energy and effective moisture diffusivity determination in drying of grinded artichoke stems

In Ukraine plant biomass from crop fields and forests is the dominant renewable energy source and it is suitable to replace fuels by producing bio-gas, bio-ethanol as well as solid bio-fuel. Tubes of Jerusalem artichoke are used as functional food ingredients such as inulin, fructose and oligofructose as well as bioactive ingredient sources for pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.
