1.Aleksandar Jovovi , UBFME [email_address] The Long-term Co-operation Projects Sustainable Energy and Environment

2. Engaging a few alumni from Faculty of Mechanical Engineering several projects of long term cooperation with Norwegian University for Science and Technology in Trondheim were established 3. Global Energy Challenge

The UN report "Our common future" stated in 1986 that the greatest challenge for the world of tomorrow is to achieve a more efficient use of energy with reduced environmental strain caused by use of energy, and to focus on renewable energy resources

Increased efficiency of the energy systems has been accepted as a comprehensive and lasting task that demands action from all countries in the world

4. Energy Challengein Developing Countries

The potential for improvement of energy efficiency is particularly high in developing countries and countries with economies in transition

It is estimated that specific energy consumption could be reduced by 20-50% in case of efficiency improvements in existing installations

Some of most common problems are inefficient power and heat generation plants, huge energy losses in distribution, pure insulation of installations and buildings, insufficient maintenance of plants and facilities

5. Energy ChallengeinWestern Balkan

The energy situation is worse than in most other countries

Social and economic development during the last decade of 20. century has been heavily influenced by the tense political situation, by warfare conducted in the region, by economic sanctions and the demolition coursed by bombing of the country

Energy expenditures both for government, municipalities, enterprises and households are very high compared to disposable income

6. Global warming Climate Change/Serbia GHG Emission CO2eq, 1990. and 1998. 7. Global warming Climate Change/Serbia Serbian GHG emission in future a) All sectors b) Energy sector 8. Educationas an Energy Efficiency Measure

One of many possible ways to ensure better energy efficiency is an improved higher energy related education

The graduates from universities will in near future be in position to take, and to be responsible for, a number of significant decisions for the society also concerning energy

Providing a comprehensive knowledge on efficient use of energy to the students of today will ensure efficient use of energy and a safer future for the coming generations

• University of Zagreb and

• University of East Sarajevo

I n three different Western Balkan countries:

• Serbia,

• Croatia and

• Bosnia and Herzegovina

34. Outline of the project

Energy Efficiency

• Belgrade

Energy and the Environment

• Sarajevo

37. Mentoring and the PhD Thesis

For every candidate is appointed a mentor at the home university in WB and in addition also a mentor at NTNU.

Both mentors, together with the candidate, identify the topic for the research project that well lead to completion of the PhD thesis.

Every candidate is offered research stay in Norway at NTNU or at IFE, for approximately four months.

This is to give support to the collaboration and socialization of candidates and to underline the international profile

38. Overview of the ongoing PhD topics:

Management of grid congestion and generation scheduling related to international trade with electricity in an open market

Combined Heat and Power (CHP) with use of surplus heat by district heating in the winter time and for cooling by absorption chillers in the summer time

Energy Planning in Rural Areas

39. Dissemination General considerations

Suggested line of attack for an efficient dissemination:

Decide who are the possible recipients of results

Come to a decision who are the target groups

Find the proper methods of dissemination

An example:

• At universities different groups have different needs and they use different sources to search for information

• Professors, researchers, students and administrative personnel

40. Some methods for efficient dissemination (1)

Presentations of written material

Thesis, reports, papers in scientific journals

• Important for scientific society and for scientific ranking of institutions and individuals

• Spreading to limited group of interested individuals

Papers and/or posters at relevant conferences and seminars

• Direct attention to the project and its results

• Possibility to follow-up trough Q&A session

• Network building

41. Some methods of efficient dissemination (2)

By electronic based media

A project specific Web-site

• Excellent means of communication of project results.

• Needs to be regularly updated so that the latest results are made available

A series of electronic newsletters

• A low-threshold way of disseminating project results

• An updated mailing-list for e-mail distribution is required

42. Some methods of efficient dissemination (3)

Network building

• Individuals from a target group may gather in networks to share experiences and find common approaches to their challenges.

• Municipal energy and climate planning processes are particularly well suited for networking between neighboring municipalities and countries, as well as projects with attention to high level training.

• Best practice examples from projects are very well disseminated through various kinds of networks.

43. Our ways of dissemination of results

Publication of PhD thesis

Publication in scientific journals and magazines

• Limited group of readers, limited spreading of results

• More scientific than practical interest among potential readers

The final dissemination seminar

• Targeted group of participants

• • Representatives for central and local government administrations

• • Representatives for business life and for industry

44. Dissemination of results troughpublication in scientific journals and magazines
