The paper is devoted to the issues and problems that arose when developing a new version of the Interstate Standard 27.002 «Dependability in technics. Terms and definitions». The standard refers to a wide range of Item and is applied to numerous normative, normative-technical and technical documentation. The paper makes an emphasis on the problems related to the development of the chapter «Maintenance, restoration and repair»

The necessity of formation new regulatory, technical and legal bases in production activity of energy companies. Analysis of operational reliability of power facilities and accident’s differentiation by type of causes and type of equipment is innovation. It’s because last 5 years this information’s generalization wasn’t in public sectoral printing. The article leads readers to a conclusion about the necessity of development and implementation of common parameters in operational reliability.

Theoretical and methodological aspects of the role and importance of energy and innovative security in the system of national security of the state are considered. The issues of energy security and innovation are becoming of particular importance due to the fact that currently energy resources as well as innovative technologies are critical for the improving the quality of life and empowerment of all states without exception. Ensuring efficient, safe and environmentally friendly energy supply is a major problem.

The review for monograph "Theory and technology of management systems" is given. New core technologies of automatic management systems development based on hardware and software complexes of network hierarchy structure are described. The problems of current state of training simulators development for electric power stations are analysed. Scientific methodology requirements for modern distribution ergatic system modeling are described. Modern scientific methodology requirements are cited.

The article analyzes the prerequisites for the development of nuclear power in India to its current positions. The author describes both supporting and constraining factors for the nuclear power development and presents key trends and prospects of the nuclear industry in India.

A electromembrane utilization method of highly alkali liquid waste in power plants was worked out. The schematic electromembrane decision of waste water elimination was presented. The results of blowdown evaporator water treatment using the electromembrane equipment were given.

The use of fluorocarbon gases as the working fluids in the turbine cycle for converting of the thermal energy of the nuclear reactor into the electrical energy has a positive effect on the efficiency and safety of the nuclear power plant. The fluorocarbon gases stability under the influence of heat and ionizing radiation for use as the working fluids in the Second loop of NPP is confirmed by experiments.

The phenomenon of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of structural materials is studied. A Venn diagram is shown, on which the damage of structural alloys by process SCC is illustrated. The necessity of taking into account the impact of corrosive environment on the fault probability of elements’ NPP steam generators is shown. Found that the durability of metal equipment at the tensile stresses in contact with a corrosive environment is determined by the operating parameters, the rate of hydrogen absorption and the characteristics of technological heredity.

The article presents the results of computational investigations using the developed mathematical models that allows to clarify the impact of major operational factors on the moisture level of steam entering the LPC of cogeneration turbines. Also highlights the main directions of improving the erosion reliability of blades of their last stages.

As a result of experimental data of thermographic inspections the criterion of an assessment of technical condition of low-voltage switching devices as which resistance of contact connection acts is revealed. This criterion allows to specify the size of equivalent resistance of a network and, therefore, to lower an error of definition of losses of the electric power.

The work shows the necessity for developing diagnostic system in order to find the causes of the increased oxygen content in condensate during operation of heat exchange apparatus. Our own methods for creation of diagnostic system are offered and described. Methods provides more efficient control over operation of condenser and essentially simplifies it maintence.

In the Russian Federation diesel power stations (DPS) are widely used in order to generate electricity in remote areas without access to grid. DPSs efficiency is usually not higher than 40% while 60% of the heat is wasted. Recycling of DPSs’ waste heat has a great economic effect. This paper analysed efficiency of ORC module utilization for recovery of waste heat from diesel power stations of 200-5,000 kW capacity. The high efficiency of using ORC module for converting DPSs’ waste heat into electricity is assessed which is especially useful for remote areas of the Russian Federation where fuel is provided through the set of government measures called «Northern delivery». The impact of diesel fuel costs and electricity tariffs on the financial performance indicators is shown.
