On June 13, Tesla CEO tweeted that he will accept Bitcoin electric vehicle payments again. However, this only happens when Bitcoin miners can prove that about 50% of the energy they use is clean energy. According to Reuters, Bitcoin price increased 5% to 37,360.63 USD at 1:10 am on June 14 (Vietnam time) after Mr. Musk’s tweet. Musk also said that Tesla will sell about 10% of its Bitcoin holdings to show that Bitcoin can be easily liquidated. During the first quarter of the year, Tesla sold about $272 million in “virtual assets,” which reduced its operating loss by $101 million. Tesla CEO comments about cryptocurrencies often cause price fluctuations. As a result, he was criticized by CEO Magda Wierzycka of asset management company Sygnia as a “market manipulator” and that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) should investigate. In February, Tesla revealed in an SEC filing that it had purchased $1.5 billion in Bitcoin and would accept Bitcoin as payment for its products. However, then the electric car company paused due to concerns about the method of mining virtual currency, which requires huge electricity consumption, affecting climate change. “We are concerned about the rapidly increasing use of fossil fuels to mine and trade Bitcoin, especially coal, which is the worst emitter,” Musk tweeted in May.

Supply crisis in Lebanon Queuing for a little gasoline

Status: 14.06.2021 8:41 a.m.

There is currently a shortage of fuel, electricity and medicines in Lebanon. Because the country is in a serious economic and financial crisis. Many Lebanese fear that the situation will get worse. By Anne Allmeling, ARD-Studio Cairo, currently Beirut Layali has almost reached her goal. Six or seven cars are waiting in line at the gas station in front of her. Then it’s her turn. “I don’t know how much I get, but I take as much as they give me.” Layali, who doesn’t want to give her last name, has been waiting for two hours to fill her tank with at least a few liters of gasoline. The 31-year-old works as a lecturer at a university in the center of Beirut. She needs the car on the way to work. “This is the second day I’ve tried to get gasoline. I drove all over town yesterday to find an open gas station. Then I waited four hours. When there were only four or five cars left in front of me were in the queue, it was said that there was no more gasoline. ”

Country has been in crisis for almost two years

Anyone who wants to refuel in Lebanon needs a lot of patience. Because fuel is in short supply. The country lacks the foreign exchange for imports. Lebanon has been in a serious financial and economic crisis for almost two years. The corona pandemic and the explosion in the port of Beirut a good ten months ago made the situation even worse. After its resignation, the government is only in a managerial position, but hardly able to act. In addition, there is a risk of state bankruptcy. Gasoline prices have more than tripled – but many Lebanese have no choice. “There is no public transport, no railroad. There is only private transport,” says Jihad Shehab. The 52-year-old salesman has been waiting for gasoline for his old Mercedes for an hour and a half. Because the line is moving very slowly, he got out of the car and is talking to a friend. “The situation is getting worse and worse. Nothing is progressing, neither in the government nor in the state, nothing,” he complains. Everything got out of hand. There is a dispute right in front of the gas station. A taxi driver complains: He only got twenty liters – not a full tank like the customer before him. His car has a special license plate that only a few Lebanese can afford – if they have the right connections.

FAQ 08/06/2020

Hardly any protests against the political elite

Nepotism and corruption are widespread in Lebanon. One reason why influential politicians and business people have been able to enrich themselves on a large scale in recent decades – at the expense of the state, which is now almost bankrupt. These people should be driven out of their offices, says a young woman who does not want to give her name: “Those responsible in Lebanon do not take any responsibility. The only solution would be for the people to put pressure on the state.” But if there is no uprising, the situation will not improve. Protests against the political elite are sporadic in Lebanon, however. More than half of the population is now considered poor. Most people are busy every day to ensure their survival and that of their families – like Layali. She is now number three in line – but even today she does not get any gasoline. The gas station closes before it is her turn. “Unfortunately, it didn’t work out. This has happened to me for the fifth time. I have to keep trying.”

Nationwide electricity generation Coal is overtaking wind power again

Status: 06/11/2021 1:53 p.m.

A spring without storms has led to a decline in wind energy. Coal grew to become the most important energy source in the country in the first quarter. At the same time, the demand for electricity is increasing, says Minister of Economic Affairs Altmaier. Electricity production using coal in Germany overtook wind power again in the first quarter of 2021. According to the Federal Statistical Office, a “windless spring” resulted in almost a third less electricity from wind power. According to the authorities, the gap has been filled by increasing electricity generation from coal and natural gas power plants. From January to March inclusive, a total of 138.2 billion kilowatt hours of electricity was generated and fed into the grid. According to preliminary results from the Federal Office, that was 2.6 percent less than in the first quarter of 2020.

Coal, gas and nuclear power dominate

While the electricity in the same period last year came mainly from renewable energy sources such as wind power, biogas and sun (51.4 percent), coal, gas and nuclear energy dominated at the beginning of this year (59.3 percent). With a share of 28.9 percent of the total amount of electricity fed into the grid, coal was the most important energy source for electricity generation in Germany in the first quarter of this year. The amount of electricity generated in coal-fired power plants increased by more than a quarter (26.8 percent) to almost 40 billion kilowatt hours compared to the same period in the previous year. The amount of electricity from natural gas increased by 24 percent to 22.5 billion kilowatt hours. In contrast, there was a strong minus of almost a third (32.4 percent) in wind power: The feed-in of 33.5 billion kilowatt hours was the lowest value for this energy source for a first quarter since 2018. In the two previous years, there was wind power significantly higher values ​​achieved due to strong spring storms.

Altmaier sees increased demand for electricity

Meanwhile, Federal Minister of Economics Peter Altmaier admitted that his department had so far underestimated how much the demand for electricity in Germany is likely to increase in the course of the energy transition. “Due to the more stringent climate targets in Germany and the EU, we have to assume a significantly higher electricity demand than was previously assumed,” said the CDU politician to Wirtschaftswoche. “My house will submit new calculations for this.” Altmaier said that more energy must be produced, “from all available renewable sources: wind power and photovoltaics”. Altmaier said that he would present specific proposals on how offshore wind power on the high seas and other renewable energies could be expanded more than previously planned. For “green hydrogen” for use in the steel industry or the expansion of electromobility, many experts believe that significantly more electricity will be required in the coming years, which should come from renewable energies.

SPD puts pressure on

The SPD criticized Altmaier: “For months now, the SPD and the entire German industry and energy sector have been calling on the Federal Minister of Economics in vain to anchor realistic electricity requirements and a correspondingly ambitious expansion of wind power and photovoltaics in the EEG,” said parliamentary group vice-president Matthias Miersch of the dpa news agency. If Altmaier now announces new proposals, which can only then be implemented by the next federal government, it is “poor” and unworthy of a federal minister of economics, according to Miersch. The SPD had already submitted proposals months ago which, based on realistic electricity consumption, determine the associated expansion paths for green electricity up to 2030 and contain funds for acquiring space and accelerating it. “We could implement this next week,” said the politician.

The combined model of cucumber production under the solar array of Mr. Chau Hon’s family brings a profit of 200,000 VND/day. Photo: Hong Diem Sustainable development model In 2018, the Green Innovation Development Center (GreenID) conducted research and put into practice a model combining agricultural production and solar power. According to GreenID, the model is designed according to the standards of rooftop solar power installed on construction sites, greenhouses planted under the guidance of Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) with a capacity of 45kwp installed on 400 square meter area. With a capital of over 900 million VND, the model will be completed and connected to the power grid in December 2020. To ensure plant efficiency, below the photovoltaic panels are designed at a distance of 1-2m. On average, the system produces 103kwh of electricity per day. In the first 3 months of 2021, 4,471kwh of electricity will be produced from this model (equivalent to 22 million VND). This is the first model with the participation of 3 parties (people, businesses and non-profit organizations). Accordingly, the enterprise will withdraw support capital in the first 10 years, then will hand over the entire system to GreenID and households participating in the model. After 20 years, the model will be handed over to households for management. The installation of solar panels above combined with growing vegetables and colors below not only creates additional income from selling electricity, but also makes the most of the arable land area, resolving conflicts in the use of resources. raw land. In fact, the crops grown underneath the electric panels have higher yields and better product quality. The model is expected to open up new directions for local agriculture. Truong Kien Tho, Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of An Giang province, said that this is a model that brings dual benefits, when combining agricultural production with solar power, helping people have clean electricity. , develop local agricultural production, and bring stable income for farmers. Open up a new direction Realizing the economic benefits that the model brings, Mr. Chau Hon (40 years old), from An Hoa hamlet, Chau Lang commune, Tri Ton district, An Giang province boldly and the research team developed the model on the land of family. From the beginning of 2021 up to now, the research team has cooperated with the project team and Mr. Hon’s family to experiment with water spinach and cucumber plants to calculate the appropriate level of cover under the solar panels and compare. with growing plants outside. The results show that, grown according to the above model, both plants grow well and give higher yields than those grown outside. “The research results of the pilot model will be documented to share with stakeholders and promote the process of promulgating appropriate policies for the development of a combined model of agricultural production and solar power. God. We will survey and replicate the model in areas with suitable conditions in An Giang province,” said Mr. Truong Kien Tho. Mr. Chau Hon excitedly said: “Compared to growing outside, cucumbers are grown under shaded solar panels, with very few pests and diseases, the plants grow well, the fruit setting rate is high, the fruit is even and the fruit is uniform. beautiful, yield higher than growing cucumber outside about 30%. On average, every day, I sell about 30-40 kg for 6,000 VND/kg, I earn about 200,000 VND, much more leisurely than rice production. Ms. Pham Thi Nguyet, Vice Chairman of Chau Lang Commune People’s Committee said, Chau Lang is a mountainous commune with special difficulties with more than 62% of the population being Khmer, the poverty rate is still over 3.4%. People mainly depend on agricultural production. The development of agriculture in combination with solar power has initially helped farmers change their traditional farming practices and adapt to new farming techniques to create dual incomes on the same land area. This is a model that can help many farmers get out of poverty and become well-off. “However, the replication of the model faces many difficulties due to high investment costs, the arable land of many households in the commune is far from the national power transmission line, so at present, this model has only been implemented. experience with Mr. Chau Hon’s family. With the benefits that the model brings, hopefully in the near future, there will be policies to develop this model” – Ms. Nguyet pondered.

VinFast is building electric car charging stations The Ministry of Finance has just sent a document to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and the Ministry of Transport, to respond to tax incentives for battery electric cars. Proposals for tax incentives only mention battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Currently, according to statistics, battery electric vehicles account for about 1% of electrified vehicles in Vietnam. Electric vehicles include many types of vehicles. In addition to gasoline-powered vehicles combined with electric energy (including HEV, PHEV) and Hydrogen-fueled cars (FCEV), there are currently BEV (pure electric) battery electric cars. Completely electrically charged from an external source. The two types of hybrid vehicles move mainly with internal combustion engines, in parallel taking advantage of the benefits of an electric powertrain consisting of an electric motor with a battery. FCEVs have an advantage over BEVs when the charging time is short, but the production of water makes hydrogen fuel-powered electric vehicles only suitable for island nations, arid areas, and unsuitable for urban areas. big. Meanwhile, BEV battery electric vehicles have a minimalist structure, run short distances, can consume electricity everywhere, have great advantages in urban areas. With three types of vehicles HEV, PHEV and FCEV all use gasoline and gas, so they have more impact on the environment than BEV models. Electric cars are becoming an advantageous choice to replace vehicles using internal combustion engines, especially battery electric cars (BEVs). Many countries around the world have had preferential policies and tax support to prioritize the development and production of battery electric vehicles. According to the Ministry of Finance, Vietnam has a number of preferential policies for electric vehicles. Accordingly, electric cars carrying passengers with less than 9 seats are entitled to the special consumption tax rate of 15% (ie 10% reduction compared to cars of the same type using fossil fuels; 10-16 seats are allowed to be used for cars of the same type using fossil fuels. tax rate of 10% (5% reduction compared to cars of the same type running on gasoline) and the tax rate of 16 to less than 24 seats is applied at the tax rate of 5% (5% reduction compared to cars of the same type running on petrol). At the same time, the Law on Special Consumption Tax No. 27/2008/QH12 also stipulates the special consumption tax rate for environmentally friendly vehicles. Specifically, vehicles running on gasoline combined with electric energy and bioenergy, in which the proportion of gasoline used does not exceed 70% of the energy used by the vehicle, is entitled to a tax rate of 70% for vehicles of the same capacity. species. For cars running on bio-energy, the special consumption tax rate is only 50% compared to cars of the same type. Meanwhile, about the current registration fee, there are only preferential rates for buses using clean energy while there is no policy applicable to other environmentally friendly vehicles. To encourage production and stimulate consumers to use BEVs, contributing to reducing the emissions released into the environment by vehicles, contributing to the protection of the ecological environment and based on the outstanding advantages of vehicles. BEV, the Ministry of Finance is planning to propose new incentives for this model. An electric vehicle charging station in Ho Chi Minh City Specifically, incentives related to excise tax fall under the jurisdiction of the National Assembly. Therefore, the National Assembly must amend the excise tax law. The Government has also assigned the Ministry of Finance to preside over the overall assessment of the implementation of the excise tax policy on automobiles in the past time to study and amend the excise tax law accordingly. Regarding the registration fee under the authority of the Government, when there is a need to change, it will amend and supplement Decree No. 14/20216/ND-CP on registration fee. The Ministry of Finance said that in the past time, it has also received recommendations from a number of associations on adjusting registration fee rates to remove difficulties for businesses. Therefore, the Ministry of Finance is also evaluating the overall policy on registration fees and is expected to submit it to the Government in October. The Ministry of Finance also asked agencies to propose specific content on special consumption tax incentives and registration fees related to battery electric vehicles to summarize and report to the Government. Battery-powered electric vehicles currently account for a very small percentage in Vietnam. According to data from the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers Association (VAMA), the number of electrified vehicles registered in Vietnam is still very modest, accumulating just over 1,000 units by the end of 2020. of which BEVs only account for about 1%, the rest are HEV and PHEV models. According to the Ministry of Finance, currently only VinFast invests in producing electric vehicles, according to reports, VinFast has now launched the first battery-powered electric car model. The factory has a capacity of 250,000 vehicles per year and the brand is focusing on battery electric vehicles with 9 seats or less and electric buses with 24 seats or more. Also according to the Ministry of Finance’s assessment, the biggest obstacle facing Vietnam today is the lack of charging station infrastructure, the main source of power for power supply is using fuel sources with high CO2 emissions, accounting for nearly half of the total mobilized electricity output, while the electricity generated from renewable energy accounts for a small proportion, about 4.3% and this is considered an unstable power source.

Hoang Hieu Trung, Director of Quang Binh PC said, to ensure stable power supply, the unit will continue to invest in completing the power grid, improving power supply capacity to meet the demand for capacity growth of the load. . The company has also assigned 100% of officers and employees to be on duty, to regularly check the system of transmission lines and substations; mobilize vehicles and machinery to promptly handle incidents in the fastest time. Instructing customers to install the EVNCPC CSKH app to monitor electricity consumption. Due to extreme hot weather, the frequency of using air conditioners, cooling devices, and electronic devices for family activities will be more. This leads to the risk of overloading, power failure, even increased risk of fire and explosion, unsafe operation of the power system. Therefore, in order to save electricity costs effectively and ensure enough electricity for socio-economic development, national defense – security and daily life, production and business of people in the province, PC Quang Binh recommends that customers use electricity safely and economically. Specifically, for businesses, PC Quang Binh recommends balancing and arranging production schedules in the direction of reducing electricity use during peak hours, increasing electricity use during off-peak hours; at the same time, enterprises invest in energy-saving production equipment and coordinate with the Electricity sector to monitor and control power quality. “Hot repair” is one of the solutions to minimize the power outage time of customers in hot weather. In addition, Quang Binh PC requires the electricity companies to actively answer customers about problems in calculating electricity bills, and advise people on how to use electricity economically and efficiently. The affiliated units must well control the index recording and index review to promptly detect and handle abnormal cases, avoiding possible errors. In particular, the Company propagates to customers to use tools and utilities of the electricity industry to actively monitor electricity consumption and control high electricity bills in the hot season such as the EVNCPC Customer Service application on devices. mobile phone or a tool to estimate electricity consumption in daily life for electricity users nationwide at website: https://uoctinhdiennang.evn.com.vn/.

At a meeting with leaders of the Government, ministries and sectors in mid-May, Vingroup applied for a pilot exemption of excise tax and registration fee for electric cars for 5 years in order to promote the electric vehicle market. . In fact, this is the first proposal in Vietnam but not new in the world. Many countries have also applied a combination of supportive policies, strong incentives for consumers and manufacturers to encourage the model transition from gasoline to electricity, typically China, the US and other countries. Europe. According to the Wall Street Journal, Mr. Hallgeir Langeland, 65, a former Norwegian politician and environmental activist, has not owned a car in 25 years. But when Ford launched an all-electric version of the Mustang last year, he didn’t hesitate. “I have to have it. I can’t wait until March,” Mr. Langeland said, recalling the Mustang he drove as a young man. Christian Burg, owner of an energy-efficient housing construction business in Germany, has been driving a petrol BMW X3 SUV for many years. When the German government increased subsidies for electric cars, he applied for a small business subsidy and switched to the iX3 rechargeable hybrid. “We received an incentive of 3,750 euros ($4,500),” he revealed. Governments are tightening emissions standards and supporting industries on the front lines of the fight against climate change. Photo: Reuters. From electric vehicle powerhouses China and Europe… Governments around the globe have introduced a variety of policies to boost the electric vehicle industry over the years, including reducing taxes, fees, subsidies, incentives, and administrative regulations. The common point is that governments have set a specific roadmap to transition from fossil fuel vehicles to electric cars. According to the CNBC Many Chinese drivers switch to electric cars because of the government’s preferential policies. For example, in 2016, Chinese buyers received a nationwide discount of 55,000 yuan ($8,599.01) for each BEV and 30,000 yuan ($4,690) for PHEVs. Municipal governments also provide additional support up to 55,000 yuan. Beijing also subsidizes electric vehicle manufacturers based on battery power density, driving range and energy consumption. For example, in 2020, a pure electric vehicle with a minimum range of 300 km will receive a subsidy of 16,200-22,500 yuan (2,532-3,517 USD). Along with that, it supports the construction of a battery charging network for electric vehicles. For taxes and fees, China offers 50-100% reduction in user registration fees from time to time, annual tax relief, free or low-cost charging. In addition, manufacturers will receive credit points if they produce many electric vehicles. China is the leading electric vehicle market in the world. Photo: Reuters. Buyers of electric vehicles in China also receive preferential registration fees, no need to wait for car registration for 6-12 months, free highways, and parking. In Shenzhen alone, taxis switching to electric vehicles will be able to receive subsidies. A 27-year-old customer, who lives in Hangzhou, has been waiting almost a year for a license plate for his petrol car. However, after seeing Xpeng’s G3 electric car, she decided not to wait any longer. “After applying the government subsidy, the car fits my budget of about 180,000 yuan (US$27,643),” she said. The European Union (EU) is also gradually tightening emissions standards and supporting industries on the front lines in the fight against climate change. Much of the support goes to initiatives that push consumers to buy electric vehicles, which in turn drives demand. After applying the government subsidy, the car fits my budget of about 180,000 yuan (US$27,643) A 27-year-old customer in Hangzhou In 2020, sales of new electric vehicles in European countries doubled, accounting for 43% of global sales. Rising momentum has brought the EU over China to become the world’s largest electric vehicle market. For example, Germany subsidizes up to 4,000 euros ($4,874) per BEV and 3,000 euros ($3,656) for PHEVs. The country also built a €1 billion fund for rebates and building charging stations. Meanwhile, France subsidizes 6,000 euros ($7,312) for cars that emit less than 20g of CO2, 5,000 euros ($6,093) per BEV, and nearly 10,000 euros ($12,187.01) for customers who switch from diesel vehicles to BEVs. Similar to France and Germany, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Denmark and Finland also apply different subsidies to electric vehicle customers. Denmark alone reduces sales tax up to 80%. Some major Spanish cities reduce taxes by 75%, while Finland has a minimum tax rate. …to North America Transportation is currently America’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, US President Joe Biden’s plan to change gasoline cars to electric cars is essential to solving the problems of climate change. Biden’s proposals include incentives of up to $174 billion for electric cars. His plan is to increase discounts for customers who buy electric cars. In addition, the US president plans to push to increase the number of public chargers from 72,000 in 2019 to 500,000 in 2030. He also called for replacing the US government’s fleet of about 650,000 vehicles with models. electricity. Experts of Bloomberg It is estimated that 500,000 chargers may require about 6 billion USD of investment. Part of the $174 billion subsidy will also go directly to consumers to stimulate demand. Along with that are orders for electric vehicles directly from the federal government. To realize his climate ambitions, Mr. Biden needs to benefit as many electric vehicle manufacturers as possible. Bloomberg The above expenses all bring about the same effect. That’s increasing demand to accelerate the electrification of the US auto industry. Previously, the federal government and some states offered tax credits (up to $7,500) and incentives for buying electric vehicles, but the main federal incentive will begin to cut after manufacturers sold 200,000 electric cars. “To realize his climate ambitions, Mr. Biden needs to benefit as many electric vehicle manufacturers as possible.” Bloomberg comment. Meanwhile, the Canadian government requires that all vehicles sold starting in 2040 will produce zero emissions. The province of Québec will ban the sale of new gasoline-powered passenger cars from 2035. British Columbia will completely ban the sale or rental of gasoline-powered cars and trucks by 2040. Norway also introduced subsidy programs to boost sales of electric vehicles, including direct support of 4,000 euros ($4,874) to users, a 50% subsidy on vehicle prices and the cost of station construction and installation. charger for the manufacturer. A plan to change petrol cars to electric cars is necessary to address climate problems. Photo: Reuters. Along with that is a discount on fast charging service, free parking, fees for ships, boats, harbors, and the use of bus lanes; some road and ferry fees are waived. Taxes exempted for electric vehicles in Norway include fuel, road, and vehicle taxes. Meanwhile, Japan also exempts taxes related to vehicle ownership, purchase and tonnage. In 2020, electric car buyers will receive a subsidy of up to $7,700 depending on the vehicle’s battery capacity. According to Dr. Bui Quang Tuan, Director of the Vietnam Institute of Economics, government support is essential if Vietnam wants to develop the electric car industry to catch up with the world’s trends and achieve its goals. on green growth. “The support policy demonstrates the tectonic role of the State, its commitment to accompany businesses so that they can grow up, reach out to the world, and raise the level of Vietnamese people. Behind this policy is a very important political meaning, not just economic support,” said Dr. Bui Quang Tuan, Director of the Vietnam Institute of Economics.

For many people right now, the future belongs to electric cars and virtual currency. According to Canadian light-electric vehicle manufacturer Daymak, the future is also bright, and its essence is centered on the model. Spiritus . electric tricycle . Daymak is one of those electric vehicle startups that makes extremely bold promises with its upcoming models. In addition to the new 3-wheel electric scooter Spiritus introduced in March this year, Daymak is also developing everything from electric bicycles, electric motorcycles to flying cars. They all belong to a product line collectively called Avvenire. Daymak Spiritus 3-wheel electric scooter introduction image From this week, customers can make bookings buy Spiritus with virtual currency . The Canadian company accepts various cryptocurrencies such as Doge, Ethereum, Cardano, and Bitcoin. Most importantly, Daymak says, “the Spiritus you order today will earn you money when it’s parked tomorrow.” Specifically the year 2023. Daymak said that the 3-wheel electric car will be the first car that can mine virtual currency, so it dares to loudly claim it will make you money when you are not using it. Spiritus will feature a technology called Daymak Nebula, a “patent-pending, comprehensive virtual currency infrastructure,” that includes the hardware needed to mine the cryptocurrency and a virtual wallet to store and use. use virtual currency. This will happen when , but Daymak did not specify whether mining virtual currency will affect the charging time or not (highly likely yes). Daymak Spiritus 3-wheel electric scooter introduction image Because Spiritus is a zero-emission vehicle, turning it into a virtual currency mining machine is also anti-pollution. That will solve the problem of mining facilities emitting large amounts of energy. Daymak also plans to share this revolutionary technology with other electric vehicle manufacturers through licensing. Aldo Baiocchi, CEO of Daymak and the man behind the entire Avvenire product line, says that cryptocurrencies are the future and this is how Daymak rose to win customers. “People will pay with virtual currency by 2023, and we are building these cars with that in mind,” Baiocchi said. “Daymak Spiritus is more than just a car.” Daymak Spiritus 3-wheel electric scooter introduction image The above words sound appealing, but anyway, at the moment, Spiritus is just a model that exists in computer images and 3D models only. Time will tell if Daymak’s vision turns into reality.

Power planning 8 proposes 3 scenarios for power source development. The Institute of Energy (Ministry of Industry and Trade) has just released a report explaining the conclusions of Deputy Prime Minister Le Van Thanh on the national electricity development plan for the period 2021-2030 with a vision to 2045 (Planning for electricity development). electricity 8). In which, receiving opinions on reviewing the scale of power source development, reasonable power source structure compared to electricity demand in each period, especially in the period to 2030; In order to prevent unreasonable backup of power sources (such as the plan to develop the total installed capacity of 167GW of power sources by 2030, while the load demand is forecast at 86.3GW), the Consultant said Power planning. 8 proposed 3 scenarios for developing power sources to meet 3 scenarios of low load demand, base load and high load. The results of capacity balance of 3 selected scenarios show that renewable energy sources (wind and solar) have the proportion of 24% in 2020; 24-27% in 2030 and 38-42% in 2045 depending on the load scenario. The crude reserve ratio if including wind and solar is always high at 60-80%, but wind and solar power sources are variable renewable energy sources, contributing very little to power system redundancy, especially At the time of maximum load in the evening, there is no sun. Specifically, in the dry season, in the evening, when the national wind power occurs, it only reaches the guaranteed capacity (about 10% of the installed capacity for onshore wind and 20% of the installed capacity for offshore wind). ), at this time, the national crude reserve ratio of power supply will only reach 21% in 2020, 11%-14% in 2030 and 5%-8% in 2045 depending on the load scenario. The consultant said that in order to confirm the redundant or insufficient spare capacity, it is necessary to calculate the expected number of hours that do not meet the load demand. The calculation results show that the reserve scale as above ensures the reliability of the system’s power supply. The proportion of electricity from renewable energy sources (including hydroelectricity) in total electricity production of the selected scenarios all meet the objectives of renewable energy development in Vietnam’s Renewable Energy Development Strategy, reaching 32% in 2030 and 40.3% in 2045. According to the Institute of Energy, although the simulation of energy storage sources has been included, the minimum-cost planning model still chooses to cut a part of renewable energy to meet the flexible needs of the system instead. because investing in more storage resources, because investing in these resources will not be economically viable. The reduction rate calculated from the model is about 1.5% of renewable energy output/year (excluding cuts due to local transmission). The use of a partial reduction in renewable energy to meet flexible demand is used by countries around the world, and accepting a partial reduction in renewable energy is also one of the solutions. to develop renewable energy sources. At the request of ministries, agencies and appraisal councils, Power Master Plan 8 has included additional power source options that occur in addition to the above 3 scenarios to provide information for competent authorities to consider in determining the power supply. operating. In particular, the most difficult option to build power sources and grids is when there are risks of stacking, including high load growth and slow progress of thermal power sources (especially domestic gas exploitation sources). Accordingly, the proposal proposes to select the power source development scenario corresponding to the baseline load demand forecast, which is the selected scenario to calculate the design of the transmission grid, calculate economic and financial criteria. of Power Planning 8. At the same time, the project proposes a power source scenario corresponding to the forecast of high load demand to be considered for use in the management and development of power sources, ensuring to meet demand in the event that the national economy and electricity demand are met. load demand increased dramatically. In case of risk of stacking (high load, slow progress of coal-fired power sources, domestic gas-fired power sources), it will be necessary to add wind power, solar power, flexible power sources, etc. operate ICE to meet the demand for electricity and build more one-way lines from the South Central region to the North to transmit the capacity of power plants.

Billionaire Elon Musk – Photo: Bloomberg Recently, Elon Musk’s tweet about the popular children’s song on YouTube “Baby Shark” helped the stock price of a related company increase sharply, according to Bloomberg. Specifically, on the morning of June 2 (Asia time), Musk tweeted: “Baby Shark crushes them all! Views are more than the population of the earth.” Immediately, the share price of Samsung Publishing Co., a shareholder of the “Baby Shark” manufacturer, increased by 10% to the highest level since May 7. Since 2018, when the song became popular, the stock price has quadrupled. The song “Baby Shark” (Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo) started to hit the headlines in 2018, charting on the Billboard Hot 100 for weeks and now has nearly 8.7 billion views on YouTube. Even last month, a virtual currency named Baby Shark. The influence that turned the financial markets around from Elon Musk’s tweets made many investors concerned and called for authorities to step in. Many losers angrily urged him to stop using Twitter. Earlier this year, the move to change the personal description on Twitter to #bitcoin led many investors to speculate that the world’s richest billionaire bought into Bitcoin, pushing the price of this virtual currency up 20% to $ 38,566 – a record level. record that time. Less than 24 hours later, Elon Musk sent the stock price of CD Projekt, the company behind Cyberpunk 2077, up more than 12% after announcing on Twitter that Tesla’s new Model S Plaid electric car version would allow the guests play this game in the car. Not long after, the Tesla boss sparked a wild rally in GameStop stock after tweeting: “Gamestonk!!” with a link to WallStreetBets – a subpage of the Reddit information aggregator website. “Gamestonk” is a combination of GameStop and “stonks” – a slang word for stocks. “He knows he has great influence and has shown he enjoys playing with it, even if it hurts his followers,” said Heidi Chakos of Portugal, a Bitcoin investor. since 2014, told the Wall Street Journal. Meanwhile, Freetrade analyst Dan Lane said: “It’s ironic that Elon Musk has the ability to shake the market. Maybe it’s time to discuss the legality of this.” While waiting for the authorities to step in (if any), many investors still look to Musk’s tweets for investment direction, even considering him as a “hero”. Although later, when they lost, they turned to criticize him. However, it should be clear that, while the Tesla boss makes a point on everything from cryptocurrency Dogecoin to GameStop stock, he is actually an entrepreneur, not a portfolio manager. fourth. Musk isn’t the only one influencing the market through social media. Over the past year or so, many celebrities, from hedge fund managers to CEOs and entertainment stars, have taken advantage of platforms like Twitter, Reddit, Clubhouse, and more to express their views on everything from cryptocurrencies to stocks.

Strength of Tesla electric car is the ability to upgrade the vehicle’s software over a network connection, similar to what today’s smartphone models do. However, not every software upgrade that the US automaker has released also brings benefits to users. Recently, a court in Norway has declared Tesla brand penalty due to the limitation of the vehicle’s charging current as well as the vehicle battery capacity. Accordingly, the US electric vehicle brand must compensate 16,000 USD (365 million VND) for each customer affected by this software upgrade. It is known that most Tesla models with limited charging current and battery capacity are Model S and Model X vehicles equipped with high-capacity 85 kWh battery packs. Currently this battery pack has been discontinued in 2016. Tesla electric vehicle models equipped with 85kWh battery packs have been affected by the software update Over the past few years, many Tesla car users have complained about the car having a shorter range after a major software update rolled out in 2019. In connection with this incident, many users have created many Hot topics and discussions on the Reddit platform and Tesla car user forums. Some users said that after the Tesla electric car was upgraded with software, the vehicle’s travel range was reduced by about 20 km compared to before. Also because of the above incident, many people have filed a lawsuit in the California court. In this indictment, the user accuses the Tesla car brand of using the car battery capacity limit feature through a software update. As such, it appears that Tesla’s software update affects not only users in the US but also a lot of people in other markets, including Norway, where the courts have sided with users. A representative of the US electric car company said that the software upgrades that users complain about are important, in order to “protect the battery pack as well as improve its usage life”. It is known that after the court ruling in Norway, Tesla will have a few weeks to appeal. A representative of the US electric car company said that the software upgrades that users complain about are important, in order to “protect the battery pack as well as improve its usage life”. The class-action lawsuit against Tesla in the US is still pending.

Tesla ditches radar sensors on self-driving systems. Photo: Getty Images No company in the auto industry can attract as much attention as Tesla, on the one hand because of CEO Elon Musk’s controversial statements, on the other hand, because Tesla regularly makes “unusual” decisions. “. At the end of May, Tesla once again became the focus of public opinion, and this time not because of a “brake failure”, but a configuration change. Recently, Tesla announced that starting in May, Model 3 and Model Y in North America will no longer be equipped with sensor radar, cancel the millimeter wave radar in front of the vehicle and only use the camera as a receiver. data collection of automatic driving systems. This means that Tesla is poised to be the first car company to deploy a “pure vision” autonomous driving solution. Meanwhile, other self-driving car manufacturers are integrating radar, LiDAR and cameras in autonomous driving systems. In fact, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has always been adamant against LiDAR, even repeatedly criticizing LiDAR in public. He thinks this is an expensive, unnecessary technology. Even Elon Musk has called those who believe in LiDAR technology “stupid” and car manufacturers using LiDAR technology will never achieve success. So, why is Musk so adamantly “disliked” LiDAR and even all radars, and only favors a camera technology solution? To clear this up, we may need a basic understanding of autopilot schematics. Camera and LiDAR To build a set of automated driving system solutions, the automatic driving algorithm is of course inseparable. In order to achieve calculations, sufficient information is required first. During driving, the vehicle’s information collection source is the large and small sensors on the body of the vehicle. Among them, to realize autonomous driving, the most important sensors are the camera and LiDAR (must add millimeter wave radar and ultrasonic sensor, of course). Therefore, the autonomous driving system is divided into camera-based vision array and LiDAR array. “Camera-based vision” uses a high-definition camera incorporating an image recognition algorithm, while LiDAR to ensure system stability. The camera array, or pure visual diagram, is essentially a complete simulation of the state of a person driving a car, first seeing the image with the “eye (camera)”, then transmitting it to the “brain (processor)” for processing and judgment, and then give the action “Legs (steering mechanism)”. In addition to Tesla, Chinese companies including Jikrypton and Baidu have also adopted pure vision solutions. LiDAR technology uses a laser to measure distances and build a 3D map of an object, by emitting and receiving the laser’s feedback and then analyzing that data to produce the desired results. Many Chinese car companies including Xiaopeng, Weilai, BAIC ARCFOX, and many other new products also announced this solution. Which solution is better? The advantage of the “pure vision” solution is that the video data captured by the camera is the closest to the real world perceived by the human eye, and also the closest to the form of human driving. At the same time, with LiDAR prices currently very high, a pure vision solution using only the camera should be easier to control costs. Tesla’s pure vision algorithm analysis is already very strong. In addition, the image obtained by the camera is well suited for object identification and classification, in case the algorithms are excellent, it can remove confounding items and enable automatic learning during driving. car. However, as a visual algorithm similar to the human eye, the camera is easily affected by light, in harsh weather or poor lighting conditions, it is easy to cause misjudgment. Previously, when AutoPilot was turned on, Tesla models accidentally braked automatically when going over an overpass or under a normal bridge, due to the algorithm using a sudden ball in the camera as an obstacle. Rendering a 3D environment map drawn by LiDAR Compared with pure vision solution, the advantages of LiDAR solution are longer monitoring distance, higher accuracy, more sensitive response speed and unaffected by ambient light. LiDAR’s three-dimensional information processing, object size calculation, and movement speed are more efficient. However, LiDAR has problems such as weak object recognition, high cost, and accuracy in extreme weather conditions such as rain and snow. Therefore, LiDAR must be used in conjunction with other sensors to ensure safe driving. In addition, the collection of large amounts of data requires high computing power of the processor, which equates to an increase in the cost of the media processor. Theoretically, the combination of camera-based vision and LiDAR is a relatively complete solution today, but after combining many factors such as existing technology and product cost, it is too difficult to use. use a “third solution” that integrates these two major solutions. Tesla’s trade-off The cost of LiDAR is much higher than high quality cameras. In fact, abandoning LiDAR, and even now abandoning millimeter wave radar, one of the key reasons Tesla made such a choice was to achieve lower costs. After all, the cost of LiDAR is very high, the price of this technology in the early days started at 100,000 USD, but now with the development of the electronics industry, its price has decreased but basically remains the same. maintained at several tens of thousands of dollars. However, compared to high-definition cameras, the price of only a few hundred dollars is still much higher. However, besides cost, Tesla also has technical trade-offs. First of all, LiDAR does not determine the specific nature of the object, so it is easy to cause wrong judgment. For example, if a large plastic bag appears in front of the vehicle, the camera solution may recognize it as a plastic bag and ignore it, but LiDAR will judge it as an obstruction and stop the vehicle. Second, millimeter wave radar also has many limitations. The detection range of millimeter wave radar is directly limited if the band is weak. It cannot identify pedestrians nor accurately model all surrounding obstacles. At the same time, due to the large amount of data obtained, it will also consume precious computing power of the processor. Finally, for Tesla, the best company in imaging solutions, they have invested heavily in imaging algorithms. To give up the large accumulation so far, and turn to another path, in terms of input – output ratio, it can be said that it is not worth it. Tesla is loyal to a completely camera-based vision solution Tesla Vsion camera system. On Tesla’s official North American website, during the introduction of Full Self-Driving FSD, the performance information of the millimeter wave radar was removed and only the image sensor and ultrasound. At the same time, Tesla also released the driver monitoring system on May 28. The Model 3 and Model Y vehicle cameras can monitor the driver’s behavior when the Autopilot system is activated, detecting and reminding the driver to keep his or her attention. Tesla states that “camera data will be stored in the vehicle, and the system will not send the data back to the company unless the user gives permission to share the data”. In addition, Tesla’s FSD V9.0 autopilot system will also be officially launched this year. According to Musk’s earlier statement, the FSD algorithm has been “refactored” to achieve pure vision through 8 cameras around the body, while effectively solving the previous “brake failure” problem. Tesla also warned that Autopilot and FSD systems would be less effective during this technical adjustment period. “During a short period of transition, Tesla Vision vehicles may experience some limitations or inactivity, such as Autosteer being limited to a top speed of 120.7 km/h. , Smart Summon (if equipped) and Emergency Lane Avoidance may be disabled during delivery,” Tesla’s announcement reads. Whether LiDAR will win the market with a secure advantage in the future, or a camera-based vision algorithm dominates the market with a lower cost advantage, the answer is still unclear. However, judging from the information currently available, Tesla will choose to stick with a pure vision solution.

1. Close the window blinds The first rule in keeping the house or apartment cool is to draw the window blinds, especially the west and northwest windows because 30% of unwanted heat comes from these locations. At the same time, when choosing curtains, you should choose those with neutral colors to avoid heat radiation. 2. Air conditioner increases by 1 degree Celsius, reduces power consumption by 10% If you live in an apartment or apartment that requires the use of air conditioning, keep the temperature at around 24-27 degrees Celsius or higher if you still feel comfortable. Remember, just 1 degree Celsius increase can reduce about 10% of the electricity of the air conditioner. 3. Adjusting the ceiling fan In the summer, you sometimes feel like a ceiling fan is only pushing hot air around the house rather than cooling it and this is exactly how it feels. Therefore, install the ceiling fan so that it rotates counterclockwise to push the air straight down, creating a cooling effect on the body, and remember to set it to run clockwise in winter to pull air. cool air. 4. Close the door and seal the openings Close the doors to rooms you don’t use to keep cool air where you need it most. Seal openings around doors and windows, and use draft-stops to ensure cool air can’t escape. 5. Open windows at night when it’s cool Closing your windows and staying indoors can be a great idea during the day, but as it gets cooler in the evening, you may want to open the door to naturally cool your home – but remember to lock the door when you leave. sleep. 6. Cool down the body Cooling your house or apartment doesn’t mean you don’t need to cool your body by using body-cooling drinks, putting a cool towel on your neck or some other acupuncture points to avoid heat shock. 7. Create air conditioner from fan No air conditioning? Do not worry! A cleverly placed bowl of ice is all you need to turn a fan into a cold mist. Place a basin of water or ice tray in front of the fan for a cool breeze. 8. Choose cool clothes Wear loose, light clothing made of breathable fabrics like cotton and change your bed sheets to cotton for more comfort. 9. Turn on ventilation fans in the kitchen and bathroom This is essential because it helps to get rid of hot air from cooking or after you shower all over the house. 10. Change the light bulb If you’re having trouble cooling your home and can’t figure out why, incandescent bulbs could be the cause. These bulbs were phased out in Australia many years ago, but in Vietnam many families are still using them. This type of bulb generates a lot of heat, so switching to energy-efficient bulbs can help cool your home and save you tons of energy costs. 11. Put a basin of water in the room Another trick to lower the room temperature is to put a basin of water in the room because on the high temperature the water evaporates will help reduce the temperature significantly to make the room cooler. 12. Put a lot of plants in the house Not only preventing dust and filtering the air, plants also have a great effect in lowering the temperature of the room. However, do not leave many trees in the bedroom at night because then it produces CO2, which is not good for health. Long-term measure 13. Limit the use of many electrical appliances Not only is it a matter of saving electricity, but also because the heat emitted from electrical appliances and household appliances during operation will add a few degrees of Celsius to your already secretive house. Therefore, families should focus on living in a room with scientific time instead of spreading it as usual. 14. Reduce the heat for the roof For private houses, especially on the street, because there is usually only one facade, blocked on all three sides, the heat of the sun entering the house is mainly from the roof. Therefore, you should add false ceilings with heat-resistant materials such as gypsum plaster, foam insulation bags to keep the house cooler. 15. Natural heat blocking If you live in a private house and have a land fund, use the shade of trees to cover the windows and walls. Plant deciduous trees that shade your home in the summer, but let the sun shine through in the winter. If you can, invest in tinting your windows to keep out more heat radiation.

Closing the door when using the air conditioner is natural. However, many families have a habit of avoiding heat by keeping the door closed throughout the day, even though the air conditioner is not always on. In fact, this method only helps to prevent sunlight from entering, but the heat is still absorbed by the windows and surrounding walls. This amount of heat will be surrounded in 4 walls, so it feels stuffy and uncomfortable. At night, when you step inside, you still feel that everything is hot. Turn on the fan, open the door when it is sunny, making the house more hot On the contrary, many people have the habit of opening the door all day, turning on the fan to get natural wind to blow into the house, creating ventilation and cooling the room. However, this is not at all true for sunny days, especially around midday. Because at this time, the outdoor temperature is higher than the indoor temperature, opening the door in combination with the fan will cause the heat to come in, the more you turn on the fan, the more hot and stuffy it is. Therefore, it is most reasonable to open the door early in the morning and then close it. When the sun is out, open the door again to let the outside air into the room to help cool down and reduce stuffiness. You should create more ventilation for the house with small doorways, this is where the air is drawn when the power is out. The air conditioner heater is located in a sunny place Installing the right air conditioner will help you enjoy a more pleasant summer. However, placing the air conditioner heater in an unreasonable position can make the house not as cool as desired, in addition, it is also easy to damage the air conditioner and consume a large amount of power. The heater is left outside, where the sun shines, making the air conditioner work less Air conditioner manufacturers often design and apply technology to help air conditioners withstand harsh weather. However, it is not because of that that we can install the air conditioner heater in any outdoor position without a roof. For convenience, many families today often choose to install the heater on the terrace, on the roof or outside the wall, … without a roof. The heater placed in a place with direct sunlight will increase the temperature of the heater, the air conditioner will work less, the feeling of coolness will decrease, causing the indoor temperature to remain high. The best place to place the air conditioner heater is in a cool place, avoid direct sunlight and have a roof. No curtains or choose the wrong material, curtain color Many people think that curtains are only suitable for the house in winter days, so do not use curtains for summer. In fact, according to some studies, the window is the place to absorb 30% of the heat from the outside. Therefore, in the summer, curtains will be an intermediate item to separate the scorching sunlight outside from the space inside. Using curtains to cover the door on hot days will see the effect immediately, the room is noticeably cooler. Curtains help separate the outside sunlight from the inside space However, it is also necessary to choose the right material and curtain color to be suitable for the summer. Thick and dark velvet curtains are completely unreasonable for the summer house. Curtains with heavy materials and dark colors only make the room feel more stuffy and cramped. Currently, the market has many designs of curtains or lace curtains, thin curtains, bright colors that are both beautiful and convenient, suitable for all spaces from the living room to the bathroom, making the house cooler. on a hot day. “Forgot” the balcony The small garden on the balcony also contributes to making the house less hot Many people are afraid of cramped space or busy with work that “forget” the balcony area. Not taking advantage of the balcony area to “green” with trees is a mistake that makes the house hotter in the summer. Just a small garden with vines, hanging baskets, flower pots on the balcony also contributes to reducing the temperature of this area, softening the summer sun, making your home more comfortable in the winter. hot weather day.

Buy outright battery – expensive solution for invisible benefits The biggest benefit of buying outright batteries is not in the material value but in the spiritual value. It’s a feeling of ownership. But to get that intangible benefit, customers will have to trade it with a relatively large financial burden. The battery is by far the most expensive component of an electric vehicle, accounting for about 30-40% of the cost, according to UK-based research and consulting firm GlobalData. In the foggy country, most electric cars are still at least $13,000 more expensive than a comparable internal combustion engine car. “The biggest barrier to owning an electric car is cost,” Rod Dennis of RAC, the UK’s leading car service, told The Guardian. Although there has been a “revolution” in battery production costs, falling from $1,000/kWh in 2010 to about $150-200/kWh in 2020, according to James Frith, head of Energy Finance column. New Energy (NEF) of Bloomberg news agency, “for electric vehicles to be as cheap as internal combustion engine cars, the battery price must be brought back to the threshold of $100/kWh”. However, according to Bloomberg, the increase in raw material prices on a global scale can create a “bottleneck” that makes the goal of lowering the price of the “energy heart” of electric vehicles more difficult. “It is not a wise choice to spend thousands of dollars more just for the ‘feel of ownership’. Not to mention, the user will be responsible for all risks with the battery block if any, “said an automotive expert. Swap batteries – more risks, more costs To reduce costs for customers, some electric car manufacturers offer a battery swap policy to separate the battery from the price of the car. Specifically, instead of buying outright, customers will rent the battery pack from the manufacturer or a 3rd party. When the battery is almost depleted, the customer will bring the car to the service workshop to replace the fully charged battery. In August 2020, NIO launched a BaaS (Battery as a Service) battery exchange service with a subscription fee from 980 yuan / month (150 USD). According to “Tesla of China”, the BaaS service helps the company reduce the price of cars by about 70,000 yuan (more than $10,000). For customers, refueling the car also becomes as quick as refueling. However, every coin has two sides, the battery swap policy also shows many inadequacies. Before NIO, the battery swap model was tested in the French and Taiwanese markets, but was not really successful. In 2019, French car company Renault had to stop this policy. “Battery swapping will be more suitable for two and three-wheeled vehicles, using low voltage, usually 48V, and small battery capacity, from 1.5kWh to up to 4kWh”, said CV Raman – Head of Engineering of the company. Maruti Suzuki India, analysis. Raman also said that this is the reason why Maruti Suzuki did not enter the electric car battery swap business. “Car batteries use high voltage, are integrated with many technologies and involve the cooling system. Frequent swapping compromises integrity, creates insecurity and increases the risks associated with electrical contact,” he said. On the other hand, Omprakash Upadhyay, an electric vehicle expert at TATA AutoComp (India), said that swapping batteries does not completely reduce the cost burden for customers. This model requires large, complex and expensive infrastructure as service shops have to keep a large stock of pre-charged batteries at all times. “Invisible medium, each car must have at least two sets of batteries – one set inside the vehicle and one available in the battery replacement station. This increases the cost of the car a lot, given the fact that the battery is the most expensive component in an electric vehicle,” Upadhyay said. Battery subscription – optimal for economy, maximum for safety The battery subscription policy that some companies like VinFast apply can be considered a perfect solution, helping to balance both the advantages and limitations of the two forms of outright purchase and swap. In economic terms, instead of having to spend “a lump” of thousands of dollars to buy batteries, customers will be leased batteries by manufacturers. The monthly subscription fee is offered by the company based on the calculation of the average distance traveled. With the VF e34 model, VinFast applies a subscription fee of 1.45 million VND/month for a distance of 1,400km, meeting the average travel demand well. “Operating costs, including battery rental and electric charging, are equal to the cost of gasoline consumption, and the price and features are superior to gasoline cars,” said Ms. Thai Thi Thanh Hai – General Director of VinFast. . According to estimates by GlobalData, the cost of buying a battery pack is equivalent to the total subscription fee for more than 8 years. The form of “split” cost over time is currently quite popular with technology products and services such as phone, television or Internet packages. In particular, the indispensable advantage of the subscription form is that the manufacturer will be responsible for the battery throughout the product life cycle, even to the recycling stage, bringing absolute peace of mind and peace to customers. row. Like VinFast, the company is committed to replacing customers with a new battery pack when the battery’s ability to receive charge drops below 70%. This is a “super benefit” that customers who buy the battery outright do not get. “Battery rental helps car owners benefit more when the battery is checked, maintained and serviced in a timely manner by the manufacturer. This model will be the key for electric vehicles to develop on a large scale, “said GlobalData.

North-South 500kV transmission line passing through Hai Van Pass (Da Nang) Also from the situation of “two evenings, one morning” and the urgent requirements of reality, in February 1992, the late Prime Minister Vo Van Kiet approved the technical and economic justification for the construction of a 500kV power transmission line. North South. On April 5, 1992, the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the North – South 500kV transmission line was held simultaneously in many provinces: Hoa Binh, Quang Nam – Da Nang, Dak Lak… The special feature of the construction The construction of the North-South 500kV transmission line was the construction period within two years, an extremely difficult time for the staff of the energy industry at that time. Workers of Power Transmission Company 2 (PTC2) repair the North-South 500kV transmission line Using a helicopter to check the 500kV North-South transmission line With the spirit of determination of the industry, the close direction of the Government, all levels, and the support of the people, May 27, 1994 went down in the history of the energy industry when the North-South 500kV transmission line was officially launched. put into operation, bringing electricity from the North to the Central and the South. Workers repair the 500kV North-South transmission line carrying current After 27 years of operation, the North-South 500kV transmission line has constantly promoted its role and great efficiency in power transmission, making an important contribution to the country’s socio-economic development. This is also the project that brings the highest efficiency on the total investment capital of the industry and opens the period of modernization of the electricity industry. At the same time, laying the starting foundation for the development of the national power transmission grid. On the occasion of the 27th anniversary of the energizing and operation of the 500kV line, circuit 1, the National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT) would like to introduce the book “North-South 500kV transmission line – The turning point of Vietnam’s electricity industry”. ” (link: http://www.npt.com.vn/d6/en-VN/news/Sach-Duong-day-500-kV-Bac-Nam-Buoc-ngoat-cua-nganh-Dien-Viet- Male-5-242-4939). The book is a grateful gift for the people who made history, directly participated in the construction of the North-South 500kV transmission line and generations of officials and employees of the electricity industry in general, the transmission field. Electricity in particular has always accompanied and joined hands to build and develop EVNNPT more and more strongly.

Bitcoin digital currency. (Photo: AFP/VNA) On May 28, British police said they had discovered a case stealing electricity large capacity to mine the digital currency bitcoin. Specifically, in a dismantling of a cannabis plant, the anti-narcotics police force in England suddenly discovered an organization Bitcoin “mining” using a large power source to steal from the national grid. The facility is located in an industrial area in Birmingham – the UK’s second largest city. Through inspection, the police discovered about 100 computers dedicated to “mining” bitcoin. At the time the police arrived, there was no one at the facility. The case is currently under investigation. The digital currency “mining” system consumes a large amount of electricity, so some lines specializing in “mining” cryptocurrency in the world often choose to steal electricity to reduce costs and increase profits. According to Deutsche Bank, “mining” bitcoin alone consumes the same amount of electricity as Switzerland consumes each year. On May 12, the world’s largest electric vehicle maker Tesla (USA) announced that it would stop using bitcoin in its car sales due to concerns about environmental issues. CEO (CEO) of Tesla, American billionaire Elon Musk states: “Tesla stopped using bitcoin car sales. We are concerned about the growing use of fossil fuels for bitcoin mining and trading, especially coal – the worst-emitting fuel.” Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has announced a four-month ban on all crypto-mining activities after many major cities suffered power cuts due to power shortages.

Changing habits of saving electricity not only reduces costs for the family but also contributes to saving electricity in general. Although there are not many electrical appliances in the home, only using them in accordance with the needs and reasonable time will contribute to saving a lot of electricity. In addition, customers need to check and maintain the indoor wiring system to ensure reasonable science because if the wiring is confused, it will cause power consumption to be lost in the transmission process; at the same time properly use appliances that consume large electricity such as water heaters, irons, refrigerators, etc. Customer Le Diep Lai in Nguyen Nghiem ward – Quang Ngai city said: “My house has never left the air conditioner below 25 degrees, usually around 26-27 degrees. I find that to be appropriate, not much different from the outside, both protecting health and saving electricity. I also educate my children to turn off electrical appliances in the house when they do not need to use them. Vu Ha Ty customer in Nghia Dung commune – Quang Ngai city only uses the air conditioner when absolutely necessary and usually adjusts the temperature not too low to save energy. Ms. Ty shared: “My house is not located in the center, there are many gaps around, so I often use the wind and natural light in the house, minimizing the use of electricity to operate the cooling equipment. lighting”. Changing the habit of using electricity will save electricity, reduce costs for the family and contribute to saving electricity in general. Although there are not many electrical appliances in the home, only using them in accordance with the needs and reasonable time will contribute to saving a lot of electricity. Currently, customers can use the monthly electricity consumption estimator https://uoctinhdiennang.evn.com.vn to calculate the monthly electricity consumption of the family, thereby adjusting the usage. Use electricity in the most efficient and economical way. Propagate the use of electricity to the people. Huynh Trong Nguyen – Quang Ngai PC Business City recommended: “In addition to daily-life customers, manufacturing enterprises need to review and arrange reasonable production plans, minimizing the simultaneous mobilization of devices. consume large electricity capacity during peak hours and do not leave electrical equipment idle. This is the necessary coordination to ensure the stability of the infrastructure, and to ensure the supply of electricity for production and daily life in the dry season of 2021.”
In addition, to prevent local overload due to high demand for electricity, from the beginning of the second quarter of 2021, PC Quang Ngai also directed its affiliated units to regularly check lines and substations. Thanks to the initiative in the plan and the use of modern equipment such as thermal cameras, flycams, Quang Ngai PC was able to immediately detect and detect abnormal signs occurring with the equipment, preventing problems. can happen.
The economical and efficient use of electricity by customers is also one of the important solutions to help Quang Ngai PCs fight overload, reduce “heat” for the power grid system; thereby contributing to helping PC Quang Ngai perform well the management and operation of the power grid safely and effectively, improving the quality of power supply for customers.

Germany and Norway inaugurated the NordLink undersea cable line. Photo: DW With a total length of 623 km, NordLink is one of the longest undersea cables in the world, connecting the town of Tonstad in southern Norway to the mouth of the Elbe river in northern Germany. This cable route helps to exchange wind and solar energy produced in Germany for hydroelectric power produced in Norway, helping the two countries make up for the shortfall in electricity production due to fluctuations in the amount of wind and sun. The project is expected to help provide electricity for about 3.6 million households, which has been in operation since April, but officially opened on May 27. According to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the project is really a big step towards a sustainable and future-friendly energy supply for Germany. The project also helps to balance electricity production, which is an important part of the country’s growing efforts to expand renewable energy sources. Thorsten Lenck of the Agora Energy Transition research organization considers the NordLink project an important step in Germany’s energy transition and integration into the European power system. According to the plan, Germany will gradually phase out nuclear power by 2022 and coal power by 2038. Recently, Germany has also set many ambitious targets to reduce CO2 emissions after the Constitutional Court – a court Supreme Court in Germany, ruled that the current climate protection law was “not enough”, demanding an amendment to the law. With ambitious targets, the German government plans to cut emissions by 65% ​​by 2030 compared with 1990 levels, further than the 55% reduction target set earlier. The reduction will then reach 88% by 2040, with the goal of making Germany carbon neutral by 2045, five years earlier than originally planned. For the first time ever, renewables in Germany will account for half of electricity production, compared with 25% less than 10 years ago, data from the Fraunhofer Research Institute shows. Interaction and exchange between different countries is also one of the pillars of the European Union’s climate strategy. To date, a number of cross-border projects have been operating between Norway and the Netherlands; Netherlands and Great Britain; Denmark and the Netherlands.

Tesla cars are restricted in China because of spying concerns Some Chinese government agencies restrict access to Tesla vehicles. They are concerned that car cameras affect security. According to the Reuters , many government buildings in China have just announced to restrict the entry of Tesla cars, citing the risk of spying. This move shows that the Chinese government is increasingly afraid of electric vehicle products from the US. In March, Chinese government and military employees were asked to stop using Tesla vehicles. The reason comes from the CCTV system on Tesla cars that can continuously record, track the location and travel time of the vehicle. The Chinese side is concerned that sensitive information and images may be collected and transmitted to the US. In addition, contacts or synchronized communication between the car and the phone are also said to be likely to leak. Before the newly announced restriction order for government buildings, Tesla vehicles were restricted from entering the premises of aerospace companies or the residences of high-ranking officials. In response to the move from China, in March, billionaire Elon Musk denied allegations about the ability of Tesla cars to spy. Speaking during an online meeting of the China Development Forum, the American CEO said that if Tesla used a car to spy on China or any other country, the company would shut down. China is Tesla’s most important market, contributing about 30% of sales to the US electric car company. However, from the beginning of 2021 until now, Tesla has continuously faced many difficulties and disadvantages in this billion-people market. In addition to the negative accusations about the risk of government spying, Tesla also faced a wave of criticism from users regarding its quality and unfriendly behavior with the public. These things forced Tesla to make concessions and defuse tensions by taking steps to comply with the regulations of the local government, while limiting the management’s dissenting statements in China.

Using a low-quality electric fan contains many risks. Illustration Ms. L (Hai Ba Trung, Hanoi) was urgent, in order to prevent power failure, she chose to buy a rechargeable fan on the online market for 750,000 VND but only used it twice and it broke. After the fan broke, she contacted the online store, they said that because she used the fan in the wrong way, it was broken, the store was not responsible. Similar to the case of Ms. L, Ms. Van Anh residing in (Thuong Cat – Hanoi) also bought an electric fan for 900,000 VND, but it broke after using it for exactly one season. Worth mentioning, in addition to the common rechargeable fans, the current mini-charged fans are also widely sold on the market. Mini electric fans are quite diverse in type, capacity, and function, but they have the common characteristics of low price, only from 20 to 100 thousand VND / unit, compact size, can be easily carried when traveling . Not only is it easy to find and buy in shops, but also on online sales applications, this item is also very popular. Most mini-charged fans are rechargeable via USB or use AA batteries (rabbit batteries), allowing easy charging and replacement. With those utilities, mini-charged fans are currently very popular, especially with students, students or those who often move and work outdoors. According to electrical experts, if you can find a fan with clear origin and strict quality control, the risk of fire and explosion is very low, unless used in the wrong way. However, with cheap products, widely sold, the risk of poor quality electric fans, prone to fire and explosion is very high. Speaking of the risk of using low-quality rechargeable fans, refrigeration repair experts added, there are many cases of buying a rechargeable fan to use for a short time and then not charging or the indicator light is full. But after only a few minutes, it’s all due to buying a poor-quality fan and improperly charging the battery. Besides, in order to increase product prices and deceive buyers, these products are also ordered by stores with Vietnamese packaging from China and sold at many times higher prices. To ensure the most effective and durable use of electric fans, consumers when choosing to buy in addition to choosing large and reputable electronics stores and supermarkets must also pay attention to product brands and brands, see battery capacity. Do not choose a type of electric fan with too many functions because when used it will not achieve the desired effect. (According to Viet Q)

In order to improve the quality of electricity supply and reduce the time of customers’ power cuts, especially in the approaching hot season, in addition to 04 hotline insulation cleaning teams, they perform the task of cleaning electrical insulators with pressurized water. On March 10, 2021, Ha Tinh PC established a hot line repair team on the 22kV power grid that is carrying power (belonging to the Ha Tinh high voltage grid operation management team). The team is responsible for managing vehicles and equipment and implementing plans for repair, maintenance, replacement and connection of equipment on the 22kV live grid. The members of the team have been well trained, and invested in modern and advanced equipment, tools and instruments. After nearly 02 months of operation, the team has carried out nearly 70 sessions of hot repair work, including the following work contents: Separation of connections; poor breaker contact handling; replace lightning protection valve; new installation of load circuit breakers; replacing the shaped porcelain neck ties to prevent surface discharge and handling defects in bows and legs … have been done by the hotline repair team in the past time. In order to operate effectively, before that, the team was sent by the Company to study the construction and repair of hot line electricity at the Northern Electricity College; Trained and tested to meet the requirements of theory and practice on live lines at the hotline field, then continued testing on the 22kV power grid of Ha Tinh PC. Through training and practical tests, team members are not only strong in their expertise and techniques, but also create a stable and calm mentality for members, improve their sense of discipline, and strictly follow them. regulations and procedures for occupational safety. Workers of Ha Tinh PC hotline team perform operations on a live grid Mr. Nguyen Van Nhu – Team leader of the hotline said: “When switching to hotline work, at first, the brothers in the group were still confused. However, through the process of being trained and trained, and timely grasping new techniques, up to now, the team members have mastered the technology when accessing the power grid. During the construction process, members always have a sense of reminding and monitoring each other, absolutely no redundant movements to ensure absolute safety when performing tasks. According to Mr. Nhu, in the past, even a small problem had to be cut off to fix it, but when applying new technology, customers can still use electricity normally, daily activities, production and business. business is not interrupted. It can be seen that the application of hotline repair technology into operation has brought many practical benefits, the work contents on the grid have been shortened, helping to save time, prevent and minimize incidents on the network. electricity grid, reducing power loss, contributing to increasing labor productivity, improving the reliability of power supply to meet the increasing demand for electricity of customers.

According to experts from a California-based start-up company (USA), this electric multi-purpose self-propelled agricultural machine can help farmers transform green production more strongly because it is a completely electric-powered product. the world’s first. Monarch’s products are considered the “King of Agricultural Machines” to open up the process of green production transformation with unprecedented smart, high-tech and safety features. Photo: Designboom The advantage of the versatile agricultural machine designed by Monarch Tractor is that it is quite compact and programmed to perform different jobs such as plowing, harvesting, mowing and can operate in up to 10 hours after 5 hours of charging. According to Monarch experts, when each of their agricultural machines is powered by renewable electricity to replace the traditional older generation with diesel engines, it can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an average of 53 tons per year – the equivalent of removing 14 gasoline-powered passenger cars from the road. Although this versatile agricultural machine does not require a driver, to comply with applicable US regulations it must have a person operating it remotely, receiving real-time warnings and being able to stop the vehicle. in necessary situations. The product is also equipped with sensors, which can remotely detect livestock and crops, and has a collision prevention system that allows it to work autonomously at the same time as farm workers. Several tech companies are also working on developing unmanned agricultural machines, including California-based Bear Flag, Illinois-based John Deere and Denmark’s Agrointelli, but Monarch is the first to offer the product. With nearly two decades of experience working in mobility and energy, Monarch Tractor startup founder and CEO Praveen Penmetsa says he captures the trend of how technology can shape an industry. “Looking at these two industries has helped me shape a pattern and the idea that global agriculture is also ready for transformation,” Mr. Penmetsa said. CNN Business. In addition, this versatile agricultural machine can also collect data during operation to provide farmers with information on crop health, long-term yield forecasts, and warnings about problems. problems such as leakage of irrigation water or degraded soil … After raising $20 million in March, Penmetsa and a team of more than 50 engineers at the company’s Livermore headquarters conducted a series of trials on farms in three states. Save labor and fuel It is expected that within the next two months, the company will officially offer the first agricultural machines to farmers in the states of California, Washington and Oregon with prices starting at $ 50,000. The Monarch company is hoping to start commercial production by the end of this year. Monarch’s versatile agricultural machine can save farmers thousands of dollars a year in labor and fuel costs, experts say. Monarch Tractor’s versatile agricultural machine is expected to be mass-produced from the end of this year. Photo: Agriland According to David Rose, associate professor of agricultural innovation at the University of Reading, farmers are under increasing pressure to manage to feed a growing population coupled with consumer demand for agricultural products. sustainable products, while they face labor shortages. “The whole society is asking farmers to overcome many challenges at the same time. I don’t think we look at our plates on the table three times a day and think about all the hardships farmers are facing,” Mr Rose said. According to Mr. Rose, at this stage, the most transformative feature of the Monarch farm machine is that it runs on electricity and the relief of gas-hungry, diesel-hungry equipment is amazing. However, what Monarch’s founder and CEO is most excited about is the prospect that farmers can use parameters and data in the production process to provide more transparency to customers. Mr. Penmetsa envisions that there will be a QR code on agro-food packaging that shoppers can scan to access information about how the product is made. “We want consumers to appreciate what farmers go through to get food to the table. If farmers can tell that story through data, I think we can create a direct bridge,” Penmetsa said.

Monarch’s electric plow. Photo: CNN CNN channel (USA) said that the plow was programmed to perform the tasks of digging trenches and reaping and harvesting. Manufacturer Monarch says this electric plow can work for 10 consecutive hours after 5 hours of charging. Although there is no operator, but based on US regulations, the plow is designed to be operated remotely. Thus, the operator can remotely command the plow to stop working when necessary. The plow is also equipped with sensors to avoid collisions with livestock and works automatically next to farmers. Monarch claims that when these electric plows come to market, they can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an average of 53 tons per year, equivalent to the emissions of 14 gasoline-powered cars. In addition, this electric plow has the ability to collect data during operation, helping to provide information about crops and support for farmers to promptly handle arising problems such as lack of irrigation water. … Below is a video simulating the operation of the plow published by Monarch: Monarch expects to sell the first plow in the next two months to farmers in California, Washington and Oregon for an expected price of $50,000. These farmers will work with Monarch to perfect the electric device. Monarch expects to mass produce electric plows by the end of this year. According to Monarch, the electric plow can save farmers thousands of dollars a year in fuel and labor.

In order to prepare for the heat wave in 2021, Nghe An Power Company (Nghe An PC) has directed its units to quickly deploy the proposed solutions and scenarios to ensure electricity supply for the whole country. Nghe An province. Nghe An PC workers check outdoor equipment at Hung Hoa Substation (Nghe An) PC Nghe An information, during this year’s hot season in Nghe An, there will be many prolonged heat waves, leading to an increase in the demand for electricity for cooling than in previous years. It is expected that power output will increase, with an estimated capacity of about 820 MW. In order to ensure stable power supply in the face of increasing electricity demand in the summer of 2021, Nghe An PC has prepared a “scenario” carefully, with many solutions to supply electricity to people and businesses. Mr. Le Quang Thanh – Deputy Director of PC Nghe An said that 2021 is not expected to be as hot as the previous year, but despite the prolonged epidemic, most businesses in the area are operating stably again. power consumption is expected to increase. Regarding the load forecast, this year’s output growth will be higher than last year’s at over 12%. The most important and basic solution identified by the unit is to increase the power supply capacity, with the rapid completion of construction of substations and power lines for areas in the province. Accordingly, from the end of 2020 until now, Nghe An PC has built and installed hundreds of large and small projects, including: Raising the capacity of 110kV substation in Cua Lo route, increasing the capacity of 110kV Quynh Luu substation, completing upgrading the transmission line. 110kV from Quynh Luu – Quy Hop. Along with that, renovating and upgrading low-voltage trunk roads; replace the meter periodically; strengthening overhaul, cleaning of transmission lines and transformers; replacing the name plate number of the road, pole number, safety sign of the substation transmission line… and is implementing the plan to energize and put into operation 110kV Con Cuong substation, increasing the capacity of 110kV Hung Nguyen and Quy Hop substations in the month. 6/2021. After energizing, the station will power on in time to serve the people’s demand for electricity in the summer months; support stable and safe power supply in the area. However, according to PC Nghe An, the case of an unexpected increase in output through monitoring is unlikely and in fact, if it happens, the power infrastructure including medium voltage transmission lines, substations and power grids. low voltage will still be able to meet. Alternating power cuts to reduce capacity as announced by EVN will not happen, however, it does not exclude some cases such as: The power supply of the whole system is malfunctioning, incidents such as the breakdown of hydroelectric power units , the North – South 500kV transmission fault leading to failure to mobilize the grid capacity of the whole system will be automatically laid off. In addition, there is a problem of maintenance schedules of power plants (thermal power plants, hydroelectric plants) which can also lead to lack of power, requiring capacity regulation between regions. In the coming period, the vicinity of Nghe An will record a sudden increase in load, especially in Thanh Hoa area, and in Nghe An will also have a sudden increase at the end of 2021 when Hoang Mai 1 and Hoang Mai IPs WHA Industrial Park comes into operation. This is not only a problem for the electricity industry in Nghe An but also for the power system in the North as well as in the whole country. To solve it, EVN will have capacity coordination solutions to meet demand. Power supply scenarios have been developed at the transmission grid level (220kV, 500kV) in order to mobilize and balance capacity in the North – Central – South region. Thus, in the short term, the stable and continuous power supply for Nghe An will be ensured. PC Attention Nghe An Use electricity in hot weather PC Nghe An also noted that, in order for the power grid to operate stably during the peak of heat, it is necessary to coordinate and propagate propaganda at all levels of the government, local and central media agencies on the appropriate use of content. , saving. This content is very important for the national power system and grid, will avoid unnecessary grid overload due to unreasonable use, reduce the greenhouse effect, help limit environmental pollution, have a enough electricity to serve economic development for production and also save living costs for electricity users themselves. PC Nghe An continuously advises customers to avoid being subjective, negligent, not to misunderstand between electricity price and electricity consumption; Use electricity in the most efficient and economical way when entering the hot season. Just small actions from the people such as turning off electrical appliances when not in use, not using many large-capacity devices at the same time, using low-power consumption equipment labeled energy-saving by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Industry and Trade inspection will help save electricity. PC Nghe An has prepared scenarios for electricity growth in hot weather Families should use air conditioners at a reasonable level of 26-27 degrees Celsius or higher and use fans in combination to reduce power consumption. When using a cold room, do not open the door often, do not use electrical appliances with heat-generating features in the room such as irons, ovens, electric kettles, and hot water heaters. Families have many rooms, when watching TV should focus on watching together, turn off all devices in neighboring rooms. Use electricity only when absolutely necessary, avoid using devices simultaneously during peak hours… For factories, make sure to use the correct capacity and load chart. Along with that, implementing a reasonable production plan, minimizing the mobilization of equipment and machinery with large electricity consumption capacity at peak hours. To minimize electrical equipment operating at no-load, key energy-using establishments must save at least 2% of electricity consumed per product unit per year. Advise customers to use electricity as committed to the electricity industry in terms of registered load and time frame, or reduce capacity when required by the electricity industry due to sudden increase in load… When purchasing new equipment, pay attention to use equipment with energy-saving certification label of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Responding to the electricity sector, coordinating propaganda and recommending surrounding households to save together.

Boeing suspends 737 MAX deliveries due to electrical problems. (Source: Rappler) The slow delivery process will affect Boeing’s cash flow, as airlines and customers often pay most of the order value after receiving the goods. The 737 MAX is Boeing’s best-selling plane, but has been grounded for 20 months after two crashes that killed 346 people. Deliveries of the aircraft resumed in November last year, after Boeing updated its flight control system. But now, about 100 737 MAX planes are still “on hold” because of an electrical fault, and it took Boeing longer than anticipated to fix the problem. Ed Pierson, a former Boeing production manager, said the electrical fault should have been discovered during the evaluation of the 737 MAX aircraft after the two crashes. He once “complained” to the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for focusing only on reviewing the flight control system without checking for other problems in the production process. Boeing said it received an order for 25 planes last month, but 17 of the 737 MAX planes were cancelled, leaving the number of planes ordered down to just eight. (according to Rappler)

This time started in the summer, the demand for cooling devices increased, leading to a dizzying increase in electricity bills, so solar fan models were sold on the market. They are advertised, instead of running on electricity like conventional types, this type of fan operates entirely on solar power. Specifically, each solar fan will come with a solar panel to help absorb sunlight and produce electricity to maintain operation. Depending on the type of panel, when placed in the sun, the fan controller will charge the battery, which takes 4-6 hours. After the battery is fully charged, the fan will work for 6-10 hours continuously, even on rainy days without sunshine. In addition, users can use grid electricity to charge the battery for storage and use. Solar fans are causing fever in the market this summer Currently, on the market, these fans come from many places such as: China, Korea, Vietnam, … with very diverse prices, depending on size and function. In which, the lowest price is about 200,000-300,000 VND (mini fan), tree fan costs 800,000-2 million VND. Many fan lines are being discounted by 20-50% to attract buyers. For example, the 20W mini solar fan line is being discounted by up to 50%, from VND 830,000 to VND 417,000; mini fan 3.5W X9E is 40% off, from 510,000 VND to 306,000 VND; The Sunisi FT-30 fan model is priced at 1 million VND, 50% less than the original price of 2.1 million VND; Korichi KRC 6300 fan model reduced from 1.2 million VND to 890,000 VND; Jenpect 220V fan model has the original price of 1.3 million VND, down 34%, now only 850,000 VND,… According to the advertisement of the staff of household electrical stores, compared to traditional fans, solar fans have many advantages such as: no electricity costs, no fear of sudden power outages in hot summer days. Not only that, they are also very convenient when going on a picnic or camping trip; can directly charge other mobile devices such as phones, flashlights, … via USB port, which is very convenient. Moreover, long battery life 3-5 years of use, battery capacity up to 12,000 mAh, using time up to 8-12 hours. With “divine” functions, especially without consuming electricity, this type of solar fan immediately caused a fever in the market and was sought after by many people. Mr. Nguyen Hung – an employee of an electronics store in Ho Chi Minh City – said that at this point, the demand for cooling fans has begun to increase sharply, in which the solar fan line is the best-selling model. . As at the beginning of summer, his shop sold about 300 solar fans, at the peak of last year’s heat, he sold up to 800 units. Many fan models are having super cheap prices to attract buyers Similarly, Mr. Hoang Van Binh – an employee of an electrical appliance store in Thanh Xuan (Hanoi) – also said that in recent years, the price of electricity has tended to increase, people have the need to buy and use electricity. Use energy-saving appliances and take advantage of natural energy sources. Therefore, from May, customers looking to buy solar fans are busier. Currently, he only has 15 more fans to sell out. According to him, this type of fan is often suitable for low-rise houses, level 4 houses rather than high-rise buildings and apartments like in the city. Because the fan and solar panels are separate, it is necessary to choose a location to mount the panels to catch the sun (roof, rooftop, balcony, front yard, …) then connect to the fan set. Therefore, with high-rise buildings, moving equipment is quite difficult. But Binh also admitted, when it rains, the charging capacity of the fan will be poor, so in the prolonged rainy season solar fans will not be able to promote their full benefits. At that time, the fan can still be used by the grid as usual. Talk to PV. VietNamNet, Mr. Le Van Kien – a technical staff member of an electrical appliance store in Khuat Duy Tien (Thanh Xuan, Hanoi) – shared, when buying a solar fan, it is necessary to pay attention to the lifespan of the panels. The origin of the battery is unclear, poor quality will make the fan’s performance worse, the fan runs erratically, the lifespan is reduced, and it pollutes the environment. Moreover, the life of the battery is usually only 2-3 years, then it has to be replaced at a considerable cost. In addition, the capacity of the battery will determine the operating time of the fan, the battery is designed with a high capacity, the better the charge will be and vice versa. Limit the selection of multi-function rechargeable fans that are equipped with lights, alarms or clocks… because these features consume power from large batteries, making it easier for the battery to fail faster. Users should not be greedy, but buying low-quality fans will have many potential risks, so consider when choosing and need to choose to buy products of reputable brands and addresses.

The company has automated the voltage and frequency adjustment of the power system to ensure power quality; Reducing the amount of electricity that cannot be supplied to customers, creating more revenue for the electricity industry; Reduce long distance transmission and optimize transmission grid loss. Modernizing the development of electricity meters and remote metering data collection systems has helped to collect complete data on customers’ electricity usage, timely detect problems of the metering system. count. This technology also helps the Company closely monitor the electricity usage mode of customers, especially large customers, and at the same time serve to calculate the unit’s power loss accurately as well as the power loss of the station. public in particular. In addition, the Company also encourages customers to actively adjust or change electricity demand during peak hours. Thereby, reducing the maximum capacity of the power system, reducing the overload of the grid, contributing to improving the economic efficiency of the power system. At the same time, it will also create conditions for the community to be more aware of electricity saving and efficient use of electricity, contributing to the protection of national resources. Ba Ria – Vung Tau Power Company has implemented many measures to reduce power loss With the unremitting efforts of all employees Ba Ria-Vung Tau Power Company in the control of power loss in particular, the rate of power loss continuously decreased from 2015 to 3.97% at 22kV level; in 2019 is 1.75% (including 110kV level) and in 2020 is an impressive number: 1.57% (including 110kV level). With the mission “ Electricity is one step ahead ”, BRVT Power Company has actively invested and upgraded the power grid system, ensuring safe and reliable power supply for tourist centers such as Thuy Van beach (Vung Tau City), Long Hai beach. (Dat Do district), Ho Coc – Ho Tram resort (Xuyen Moc district)… Every year, the Company focuses its capital to invest in preventing overload and strengthening the power grid; Electric islands for industrial shrimp farming, irrigation pumping stations to fight against drought, concave areas without electricity, removing fishing tackle… to meet the demand for irrigation for agricultural production and aquaculture. fisheries and tourism development in the province. Doing a good job of reducing power loss makes a lot of sense. help reduce production costs, increase profits for the company and increase the efficiency of production and business of the unit.

Recently, the team upgraded the technique to power and program the multipoint biostimulator from a single transmitter. Thanks to new research, electrical and computer engineer Kaiyuan Yang and colleagues at the George R. Brown School of Engineering (Rice University) won an award at the Society of Electrical and Electrical Engineers’ Custom Integrated Circuits Conference death (IEEE). The researchers performed experiments showing that an alternating magnetic field can be controlled by a battery-powered generator outside the body. The transmitter can be mounted on a belt or harness, powering and programming two or more implants at least 60 millimeters away. The implant can be programmed with a delay measured in microseconds. That could allow them to coordinate the activation of multiple wireless pacemakers in individual heart chambers, says engineer Yang. “Our study shows that it is possible to program the implants to stimulate in a coordinated pattern. We sync every device, like a symphony. That gives us a lot of scope in stimulant treatments, whether it’s for the heart rhythm or the spinal cord.” The scientists also experimented using small implants. Each tissue is about the size and weight of a vitamin. Experiments performed on hydra vulgaris rodents have demonstrated that, for at least a short distance, such devices can stimulate two separate hydras to contract. Then, activate a fluorescent tag to respond to electrical signals and respond at controlled amplitudes along the rodent’s sciatic nerve. “A study on spinal cord regeneration showed that multipoint stimulation in a certain pattern helps restore the nervous system. Several clinical studies are underway, but all are using desktop devices. There is no implantable tool that can do this,” said engineer Yang. Lab devices, called MagNI (for electromagnetic nerve implantation). MagNI was introduced early last year as a cordless spinal cord stimulator for power and programming. That means the wire does not need to be passed through the patient’s skin. Because, putting the wire through the skin is a method that can cause infection.

Toyota Cross HV operates in the inner city of big cities in Vietnam The picture of electrified vehicles in Vietnam At the seminar on electrified vehicles in Vietnam organized by Tien Phong newspaper, sharing about the picture of electric cars in the world and Vietnam, Expert Nguyen Trung Hieu – Head of Policy Planning Department TMV said: a unit that has the conditions to participate in the research and production of electric vehicles, we have a general view of the picture of electrified cars as follows: Firstly, from the 70s of the last century, when the gasoline crisis When oil broke out, car manufacturers were forced to find a new direction, which is to find a way to replace internal combustion engine fuel. Second is the factor of climate because internal combustion engines contribute to the cause. Therefore, global warming is caused by the third is the concentration of too many vehicles using internal combustion engines, which causes air pollution, and the fourth is that along with the development of society, the technological trend is a condition. necessary to contribute to the promotion of production. Therefore, since the 70s, car manufacturers have been looking for new directions in vehicles using clean energy.” When the chairperson asked the question, is the price an important issue affecting the development of electric vehicles in Vietnam? Mr. Nguyen Trung Hieu said: the general car price includes production costs and taxes. For electric vehicles, there is a discount on prices due to the decreasing price of batteries. The second is in terms of tax, currently the Vietnamese government has preferential treatment for electric vehicles. Therefore, the factors of usage habits and some other factors are the issues that need attention. Maybe in about 5-10 years, the electric vehicle market will be doubled, tripled and the price will decrease. Currently Toyota has a full range of models, but it is only a matter of when to launch to match the status and development potential of the country. To do this is a matter of policy. In general, the picture of electric vehicles is a story of national challenges, and seizing the opportunities is a national problem. Outstanding advantages of electrified vehicles Toyota Cross uses environmentally friendly electrified vehicle technology Toyota Vietnam and Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) have cooperated, discussed and implemented a project to monitor and evaluate the performance of gasoline cars and hybrid gasoline-electric vehicles (Hybrid) in 4 areas. factors include Fuel Consumption, Emission Level, Safety and Driving Experience under real conditions. During the period from October 23, 2020 to December 23, 2020, with test conditions including actual roads, labs and test sites in peak hours, normal hours / ring roads , radial roads, inner city roads, one-way roads, research results show that the advantages of Hybrid cars are maximum fuel savings, low exhaust levels, smooth and powerful operation, and very smooth and quiet. In particular, Hybrid cars can save fuel and reduce CO2 emissions from 1.5 to 2 times compared to conventional cars, so they are very environmentally friendly. Why is the hybrid car line suitable for the current situation in Vietnam? Sharing about why hybrid cars are suitable for Vietnam’s current situation, Mr. Mai Ngoc Tuy, Head of Technical Service Department of Toyota Motor Vietnam said, firstly, with this model, we There is no need to change the user’s usage behavior. Because the way to use this car is like using an internal combustion engine car today. Second, there is no need to invest in infrastructure, which is extremely expensive. Third, if using hybrid cars, it will have less impact on socio-economic issues. Because if using this vehicle, the gasoline supply chain will not be affected and the problem of solving social jobs will not change.

Wiibike electric bicycles can quickly turn an ordinary bicycle into an electric bike by installing a kit made by the company itself. In the recent broadcast of “Silver billion deal”, the Wiibike electric bicycle project brought by CEO Nguyen Thi Thu Hang has received the investment of Shark Phu with 1.5 billion VND for 10% of the stock. part. And committed if the payback this year will increase the investment by 10 times. Wiibike is a science and technology startup in the green transport sector with the main product of complete electric bicycle, using lithium batteries. Notably, Wiibike’s chassis is made from a variety of materials, including one that uses bamboo, an environmentally friendly renewable material. In addition, Wiibike also offers a Wiibike kit to turn a regular bike into an electric power bike within 15 minutes. According to Mr. Lai Thai Phong – product development specialist of Wiibike, these are Make in Vietnam kits manufactured by the company. This kit comes with a sizing mechanism that can be mounted on any bike, including models with different wheel sizes. “The most important thing about the kit is how the battery is in it. To achieve high performance, the kit must use high capacity cells and good connectivity. This idea is researched and learned from technologies available in the world. ”, Mr. Phong shared. However, this enterprise is only in the consulting process to register for invention copyrights. The Wiibike electric power bicycle project received an investment of 1.5 billion VND for a 10% stake from Shark Phu According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Hang – co-founder and operator of Wiibike, this start-up has a trial product since 2017. Currently, Wiibike is at 51% gross profit with revenue of 2.3 billion VND in 9 months, starting from July last year. “Although not yet implemented any traditional promotional campaigns, the project has attracted 300 customers to buy this car”, the project’s CEO shared. However, according to Shark Hung, this is not a new business model, it is difficult to approve that this is an invention that only stops at industrial designs or useful solutions. Vehicle design is not beautiful, does not show style, the numbers are not convincing. Therefore, the “real estate shark” has decided to ignore this deal. However, CEO Nguyen Thi Thu Hang maintains her stance when asserting that what she does will contribute to the value and make a great impact on the lifestyle and living environment of the Vietnamese people. Whether or not the capital is successfully raised, Thu Hang affirms that she will continue to fulfill this dream. “Wiibike’s orientation is not only at the product, but also to offer green transport solutions to really contribute to the transport system in Vietnam”, said founder of Wiibike. Finally, this start-up successfully raised capital from Shark Phu with an investment of 1.5 billion VND for a 10% stake.
