Abstract: The Trouble bridge Basin in South Australia is a late Paleozoic sedimentary basin, extending from the Coorong area across Fleurieu Peninsula and Kangaroo Island to Yorke Peninsula (Alley and Bourman 1995;). The basin contains the cape Jervis Formation, which crops out extensively in these areas. The formation is also widely distributed in the subsurface below Yorke and Fleurieu Peninsulas, Gulf st Vincent, Investigator strait, Backstairs passage, the coorong area, Kangaroo Island (Alley and Bourman 1995). In some areas the formation forms a blanket of sediment and, in others, significant thickness are preserved in glacially eroded troughs or local tectonic depressions.

Subject: New geology
Keywords: New geology, Migmatites, Neosome, Paleosome
Abstract: Migmatites are common rock types within Precambrian basement complexes of South Australia, and there are also limited occurrences in the Cambrian Delamerian orogen. The process of migmatisation is an important mechanism by which the crust undergoes chemical differentiation, and migmatite formation is linked to granite genesis and to the redistribution of elements of economic interest such as metallic or heat-producing elements from the lower crust into the mid to upper crust(Brown 2001). Therefore, understanding the development of migmatites is an important part of understanding the evolution of south Australian basement terranes, in terms of the style of the various orogenic events, the mechanisms of granite formation at different times, and also the ore deposits they contain.

Title: H f isotopic investigation into the provenance of zircons in heavy mineral sands of the Eucla Basin

Subject: New geology
Keywords: Zircons, Eucla Basin, H f isotopic
Abstract: The Eucla Basin hosts a world-class heavy mineral sands province, in terms of zircon content and grade, developed within Cenozoic Paleoshoreline systems that extend across Western Australia and into southeastern Western Australia. The basin contains several high-grade zircon deposits, including the Jacinth-Ambrosia deposit. Jacinth -Ambrosia has proved and probable ore reserves of 148 Mt at grade 4.6% heavy minerals and Zircon content ~51% of the total heavy minerals; current mining on the Jacinth ore body has capacity to produce around 300 000 tpa of zircon, ~20% of annual world demand (IIuka Resources 2011) . The Jacinth-Ambrosia heavy mineral sand deposits, together with other significant discoveries made in the last five years, all lie within paleocoastal, shoreface beach and dune sands of Late-Middle to Late Eocene and Miocene shorelines (Hou et al.2011). The concentration of heavy minerals in these beach placer deposits was the result of coastal traps interacting with westerly longshore drift maintained by prevailing winds, which strengthened as the climate cooled from around late-middle Ecocene through Oligocene time (Benbow 1990; Hou et al. 2008; Hou and keeling 2008).

Hence the need for energy management has become more explicit and significant to limit the widening gap in supply and Demand. Any planning which keeps the resultant benefits beyond the reach of all section of society negates the very philosophy of integrated resource planning (IRP) and distribution side management (DSM).

Abstract: Smart power grid is an interdisciplinary area and domain which integrates communications, control, sensors, networking, distributed computing and decision making. The solution to such a diverse and complex problem is achieved through Multi-Agent System (MAS) or Intelligent Agents (IA) which uses distributed problem solving and artificial intelligence in providing autonomous property to the smart grid. One such application of multi Agents in Smart Grid is Energy Trading. In this article a basic MAS that simulates the energy market by using consumer, prosumer and Genco agents that buy and sell energy in a contracting auction is discussed. It also has a time and weather simulation and a GUI.The scope of this research is to use the existing MAS that support this simulation and to expand it by adding scalability and reliability improvements to make the system more usable. The system was limited to one host only and has no specific measures to prevent failures. The energy will be a reality in the near future.

Title: Natural gas requirements for Indian Power Sector

Reference: Electrical India vol. 54 (7) 80-90 (2014)
Subject: Electrical India.
Keywords: Natural gas, Indian Power Sector, Crude oil, Transportship/Pipeline, Refinery, LPG.
Abstract: The world wise use of natural gas has increased in preference to coal and has recorded a consistent CAGR of 9-10% for past 5 years. The same trends are seen in the Indian market and the growth is occurring due to expansion of the Power generating sector (through public and private sector routes), deterioration in coal quality and uneven growth in the coal supply sector which has been the traditional source for power sector growth. Major fraction of the natural gas goes towards power generation. As on date the indigenous production has not been able to keep pace with the growth and increased import of natural gas is inevitable. However, the open market cost of imported gas is going beyond the normal supply-demand dynamics because of the continuously widening market and superiority over coal as an environmentally friendly fuel. The domestic prices are around RS 25-38/kg for R-LNG as compared to Rs 49-58/Kg for LNG in the international market. The exploration of alternatives such as biogas and coal bed methanization is becoming inevitable in the near future.

Abstract: In the present scenario, Non Technical Loss (NTL) during transmission of electrical energy is a major problem. Hence it is very essential to keep track of electrical consumption accurately. To maintain accurate readings of electricity consumed and to reduce Non-Technical Loss caused due to theft, tampering, etc., smart meters are being employed in many areas. Smart meter is a digital meter that records the energy consumption for the specified interval of time for which it is programmed. Smart meter with high accuracy, efficiency, security and theft resistance has replaced classical electrical meters. Nevertheless, unauthorized acts are still being continued even in smart meters.
