Uzbekistan Sets up International Arbitration Center for Crypto Businesses

Following in the footsteps of Russia, Uzbekistan has announced plans to implement arbitration mechanisms to resolve disputes in the cryptocurrency space. A new presidential decree mandates the establishment of a body of arbitrators that will deal with cases involving entities from various jurisdictions.

Arbitrators to Resolve Disputes Under National and Foreign Law

Tashkent International Arbitration Center (TIAC) will operate under the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Uzbekistan. According to the document signed by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, the platform will be used to settle disagreements over investments, intellectual property and crypto-related technologies.

TIAC will abide by international arbitration standards as it will review disputes between not only local companies but also entities registered in other countries. It will apply domestic as well as foreign law, if the sides agree on that. According to a report by Gazeta.uz, both Uzbekistani citizens and qualified experts from abroad can be appointed as arbitrators.

The center will provide consultations to businesses, including foreign investors operating in the Central Asian country. The arbitration tribunal will also concentrate its efforts on preventing legal disputes, including in cases in which the state administration is involved.

TIAC’s rulings will be enforceable in the territory of Uzbekistan, in accordance with local laws governing arbitration proceedings and international treaties to which the country is a party. Arbitrators will be allowed to use mediation and other mechanisms to resolve disputes within the framework of the law.

According to Uzbekistani media, a supervisory board consisting of leading international experts will assist and monitor the implementation of global standards and practices by the arbitration center. President Mirziyoyev has tasked the country’s chamber of commerce with drafting a law “On International Arbitration” within a month, in order to create the legal basis for TIAC’s activities.

Uzbekistan’s Crypto-Friendly Policies

The government of Uzbekistan has been consistent in its efforts to regulate the cryptocurrency sector. In July, another presidential decree created conditions for the legalization of cryptocurrency transactions, blockchain technologies and mining. This past September, Shavkat Mirziyoyev authorized the introduction of a licensing regime for digital asset trading platforms. Two state-owned energy companies, Uzbekenergo and Uzbekgidroenergo, have been instructed to allocate land plots for industrial-scale mining facilities.

With the decision to set up an international arbitration center in Tashkent, Uzbekistan became the second country in the former Soviet space trying to implement the mechanism for resolving disputes in the cryptocurrency industry. This month, a leading industry organization in Russia announced plans to establish an arbitration body that will be tasked with settling disagreements between participants in the digital economy, including investors and startups conducting initial coin offerings (ICOs) and parties to smart contracts recorded on distributed ledgers.

Alternative Solutions for Maximizing Industrial Energy Efficiency and Decreasing Environmental Impact

As the global energy demand increases at an alarming rate, governments and other relevant entities are faced with difficult choices that will have serious ramifications in future. The future prosperity of populations is at a delicate balance owing to continued overreliance on coal, gas and other unsustainable fossil fuels. The industrial sector has proven to be crucial in steps aimed at improving energy efficiency and decreasing environmental impact. Ponder this: Industries consume about 25% of the total global energy. Since many players are yet to focus on industrial energy efficiency strategically, it is important to highlight some of the alternative solutions available.

Industrial Energy Efficiency Technologies

Combined heat and power (CHP) or co-generation is one of the most popular alternative solutions towards enhanced industrial efficiency and reduced carbon footprint. Despite the high potential of this pathway, many industries are yet to implement it. By using natural gas (or any other fuel source) to generate thermal energy and electric energy concurrently, industries can save as much as 40% of fuel. In tandem with CHP, industries can also implement energy efficient lighting, modern electric motor technology, superior sensors, energy-efficient boilers and so on.

Modern Manufacturing Technologies

There are many manufacturing sub-sectors, including chemicals, apparel, machinery and processed foods & beverages. To be in a position to maximize energy efficiency and decrease environmental impact, these sectors need innovative technologies. These technologies must not only cover energy efficiency in the processes, but also look at ways of reusing, reducing and recycling materials. Opportunities exist process heating and smart manufacturing among others.

In regards to process heating, systems to consider include furnaces, evaporators, heat exchangers and so forth. Waste heat recovery is a perfect example of how industries can make their process heating more energy efficient.

Smart manufacturing is characterized by capturing and processing information in a manufacturing facility in real time. Through improved prediction and optimization capability, this strategy can enhance energy efficiency significantly.

Advanced manufacturing technologies related to energy efficiency continue to emerge, so there is still a lot to be implemented in this area.

Increased Use of Clean Fuel Sources

The truth of the matter is that fossil fuels are still central to industrial processes across the globe, and indeed in power generation. Although it appears a daunting undertaking, the energy industry and others must consider implementing clean energy sources as an alternative solution. This calls on stakeholders to focus efforts on decarbonizing process heat, which happens to be the biggest consumer of fossil fuels in the industries.

Suggestions have also been fronted about replacing direct fossil fuels with electrification of industrial energy generation and processes. However, more research and development is necessary to identify the sectors that would benefit the most from this form of electrification.

Thermal Energy Storage

Thermal energy storage has particularly proven to be a reliable alternative solution for maximizing energy efficiency and decreasing environmental impact because it matches energy demand and supply. TES systems are engineered to store thermal energy during off peak period and supply it when it is on peak or when the user demands.  When merged with solar and wind energy, this system does even better in increasing energy efficiency and safeguarding the environment.

ARANER provides thermal energy storage systems, specially stratified chilled water storage. Past installations have already realized efficiency and environmental benefits, as can be proven from the Farah Hospital project in Amman Jordan.

Boosted Power Plant Performance with TIAC

Are you looking for a cost-effective method to increase power output and enhance energy efficiency in your turbine-based power plant? Gas Turbine Inlet Air Cooling is the answer. Using a hi-tech method of cooling turbine inlet air, this technology can enhance plant capacity by as much as 30%, so you do not even need to invest in a new gas turbine!

Gas turbines (aero-derivative or heavy-duty), being constant volumetric airflow machines, have power output that is proportional to air mass flow and therefore to air density. Since air density decreases with higher ambient air temperatures, the result is decreased turbine output.

With the ARANER TIAC System, this negative effect is cut down and the turbine will see a constant inlet air temperature, increasing power output and maintaining it constant in spite of ambient temperature changes.

Some benefits of integrating our TIAC system in your power plant are:

Safe and reliable technology

Globally renowned TIAC provider in ARANER

Installation performed after detailed analysis and design of all components

Greatest guarantees you can imagine provided

Use of natural or approved refrigerants

Conclusion

Whether it is for global competitiveness, climate change or better human experience, it makes a lot of sense for the industrial sector to use energy more efficiently. It is pleasing to see that some industries and partners are already taking the initiative and doing something, albeit in individual facilities. Since it is evident that measures at the industrial level are working, it is incumbent upon governments to step up policy measures that promote some of the technologies and solutions. ARANER is already seizing the opportunity to enhance industrial energy efficiency and decrease environmental impact through various technologies.

The Integration of Cogeneration and Tri-Generation Systems: Advantages and Use Cases

In our daily lives, comfort is a priority. In our jobs and businesses, flexibility and efficiency play a crucial role. Together, the effect our lives have on the natural environment must be contemplated at every situation. Proven engineering integrated energy solutions that are providing this are cogeneration and tri-generation systems. They incorporate heat generation, cooling energy generation and electric power production.  The two technologies are interesting steps that different entities are taking to combat greenhouse gas emissions and enhance energy efficiency. For a long time, cogeneration has been the sole point of discussion and most industries have adopted its transformative effect. Time has come now that industries are also adopting tri-generation extensively for power plant design.

Here is a brief coverage of the basics and applications of these systems.

Operating Principle of Cogeneration

Cogeneration technology traces its origin to the USA and Europe in the 1880s when steam turbine generators and coal-fired boilers helped industries produce electricity. Cogeneration is the on-site generation and use of two different forms of energy simultaneously from one source. The most popular scenario of this involves electrical power and heat, which is popularly called CHP or Combined Heat and Power. Power is produced and the resulting heat is recovered for use in the production of hot air, hot water or steam.

Fig 1: Cogeneration Concept

Cogeneration can also take the form of Combined Cold and Power (CCP), whereby cooling energy is generated, and the resulting heat is used to produce electrical power or electrical power is generated and the residual heat is used in an absorption chiller to produce cooling.

Operating Principle of Tri-Generation

Tri-generation is the simultaneous production of heating energy, electrical power and cooling energy. It is the extension of cogeneration principle with the addition of the cooling. Many establishments need cooling alongside electric power and heat, hence the growing popularity of tri-generation energy plants.

The figure below demonstrates this process.

Fig 1: Tri-Generation Process

Benefits of These Processes

Cogeneration and tri-generation provide numerous advantages. Owing to the recovered heat losses, cogeneration can have an overall efficiency of up to 90%. The electrical efficiency in the production of power alone has an efficiency of around 35%. While this is not different from the efficiency of a conventional energy plant, the fact that cogeneration recovers heat makes all the difference.

This massive overall efficiency of cogeneration minimizes exploitation of primary resources.  Fuel savings of up to 40% as compared to standalone production heat and power is the secret.

The advantages of the cogeneration system are even more attractive if you consider the effects of fuel savings on the amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere. Experts have put the amount of CO2 emissions reduced at 200 million tons in Europe alone.

Cogeneration is an excellent way to decentralize power generation. Apart from reducing energy transmission losses, this setup is a welcome innovation because it has created many job opportunities.

For tri-generation, the benefits are similar, except for the fact that they are more significant. Addition of cooling means that the system can be used all over the year. The payback period is shorter, which is quite something from an economic point of view.

As the demand for different forms of energy varies throughout the day, a co-generation setup can be ideal energy management solution. The public grid takes control of electricity production. A boiler can manage the variations that come with heating needs. To cater for the cooling needs of users, a complementary cooling unit can also be installed.

Buildings in most places have rather predictable energy needs. Summers are associated with a high cooling demand while winter means a higher heating demand. The tri-generation system can be designed to focus on heat production or cooling production depending on the prevailing season.

TIAC: What Is Its Connection to Cogeneration/Tri-Generation?

Cogeneration and tri-generation systems that use combustion gas turbines and are located in hot climates can achieve even higher reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and improvement of energy efficiency by incorporating Turbine Inlet Air Cooling (TIAC). TIAC is a worthy investment because it boosts the power output and operates with higher efficiency.

Here are some benefits of TIAC for plant design in summary:

Higher power output at a reduced cost

Maximization of the gas turbine utilization and benefit

Reduced operating costs for cogeneration and tri-generation system – less fuel required

Reduced impact of harsh (hot) weather on plant performance

Clients are Reaping the Benefits

Owing to the above benefits, cogeneration and tri-generation systems are ideal integrated energy solutions for public, industrial and business sectors. In the industrial sector, processing companies and factories can achieve better efficiency and profitability with any of these systems. This also applies for wellness complexes, hospitals and universities. Entertainment complexes, shopping malls and hotels are also candidates of cogeneration and tri-generation integration.

Conclusion

We have highlighted the basics, advantages and applications of two interesting technologies, but it is true there can be roadblocks to implementation for some clients. Climate suitability, acceptability by utilities and input by governments are examples of major factors to consider. Considering the rate of growth of cities in many parts of the worlds, it is time to take the sustainability talk further by considering integration of cogeneration and tri-generation systems.

With ARANER, cogeneration and tri-generation technologies can be incorporated into the district cooling systems for enhanced energy efficiency and reliability. The most important aspect is that these technologies reduce overreliance on grid power. Even when grid electricity goes out, ARANER’s customized district cooling based on cogeneration/tri-generation are secure and stable. To make the deal even better, the firm is ready to help your facility achieve LEED certification with 75-80% extra efficiency!
