Safety assessment of high voltage substation earthing systems with synthetic geotextile membrane
High voltage substations built within areas prone to vegetation or with unfavourable subgrade conditions are paved with the addition of punched geotextiles and non-conductive synthetic fabrics underneath switchyard surfacing.

An equivalent circuit for the evaluation of cross-country fault currents in medium voltage (MV) distribution networks [PDF]
A Cross-Country Fault (CCF) is the simultaneous occurrence of a couple of Line-to-Ground Faults (LGFs), affecting different phases of same feeder or of two distinct ones, at different fault locations.

Burn, Baby, Burn Wildfires can have dramatic and devastating effects on landscapes and human structures and are important agents in environmental transformation. Their impacts on nonanthropocentric aspects of the environment, such as ecosystems, biodiversity, carbon reserves, and climate, are often overlooked.

Optimal Design of the Vertical Earthing with Electrodes Arranged in Line
The design methods of earthing from standards recommend the choice of electrode lengths and propose that the distances between electrodes to be 1−3 times larger than their length.

Assessing the ecological soundness of organic and conventional agriculture by means of life cycle assessment (LCA) - a case study of leek production [PDF]
Purpose – Sustainable agriculture implies the ability of agro-ecosystems to remain productive in the long-term. It is not easy to point out unambiguously whether or not current production systems meet this sustainability demand.

Earth system economics: a biophysical approach to the human component of the Earth system [PDF]
Abstract. The study of humans has largely been carried out in isolation from the study of the non-human Earth system. This isolation has encouraged the development of incompatible philosophical, aspirational, and methodological approaches that have proven very difficult to integrate with those used for the non-human remainder of the Earth system. Here,

Detection and Location of Earth Fault in MV Feeders Using Screen Earthing Current Measurements
The paper analyzes the utilization of cable screen currents for earth fault identification and location. Attention is paid on cable and mixed feeders—cable and overhead lines. The principle of operation is based on utilization of 3 criterion values:

Feasibility study on lengthening the high-voltage cable section and reducing the number of cable joints via alternative bonding methods [PDF]
The mesosphere is perhaps the least explored region in the atmosphere with very few methods of observing. This thesis will primarily be exploring a new technique for measuring the distribution of kinetic energy in the mesosphere across a wide range of ...
