In this context, become an essential issue security makes paper real interest. authors consider that supply with Romania strictly because to European industry economy, are almost entirely dependent on resources. cannot develop its defense industry, becoming...

Based on the principles of prevention, employer must seek to eliminate risk at source and, in order priority, replace hazards through non-dangers, separate or isolate areas where there are hazards, ensuring adequate collective and individual protection. However, workers from high very voltage power substations continue be exposed occupational suffering accidents work diseases with significant repercussions their health, colleagues National Power System. Accidents unseen face wage labor,...

A adaptable, resilient, safe and secure power system is essential for ensuring energy national security, having a direct impact on state's economy, social stability, well-being through the following requirements: Ensuring continuity of supply (a robust guarantees uninterrupted access to electricity citizens, institutions, industries, reducing risk disruptions caused by technical deficiencies, cyberattacks, or geopolitical instability); Energy independence reduction external...

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of photovoltaic (PV) systems, their development and security issues in the past decade Europe Romania. It begins with presentation PV systems two regions, proceeds critical risk evaluation as essential components energy infrastructure The article presents authors' arguments support proposal to include category, reflecting strategic importance national resilience. is achieved through assessment current levels safety, security, cybersecurity,...

Ensuring occupational safety in underground mines is a fundamental priority due to the major risks associated with this unfriendly work environment. This involves employing set of technical, organizational, and educational measures reduce hazards for workers minimize accidents diseases electrical mechanical causes. Old precarious coal extraction methods, conjunction obsolete infrastructure installations, lead high accident risk, endangering lives when at work. Precarious working conditions...

This article presents a comprehensive analysis of photovoltaic (PV) systems, focusing on their development and emerging security challenges over the past decade in Europe Romania. It begins by presenting regional deployment trends increasing significance PV systems national energy strategies. In Romanian context, risk-based evaluation is conducted to assess technical vulnerabilities strategic relevance installations, emphasizing necessity formally integrate them into category critical...

Energy security and implicitly the regional energy architecture composed of critical infrastructures (power substations overhead lines at 400 kV), can undergo various mutations transformations caused by a possible syncope in extraction, transport exploitation resources energy, due to dynamism. The vulnerability these generates number risks threats them, thus endangering societal life, creating malfunctions generating extreme damage state. Critical become indispensable society, without which...

Abstract The assessment of technical incident risk, disturbance or damage at Lupeni Mine comes in the context which possibility a power failure is very likely due to old coal mining methods, precarious facilities and equipment lack investment. danger electric shock imminent poses clear threat safety workers. In some unfortunate cases, comply with electrical can cause risk life-threatening explosions underground authors assessed incident, developed recommendations on how eliminate such risks.

Abstract The National Mining System is one of the most important national systems because it provides necessary coal (anthracite, hard coal, lignite, peat, etc.) to ensure energy security Romania, as well fuel for steel and cement industry. But any system not hundred percent secure, subject elements instability insecurity that are quantified in dysfunctions, deficiencies nonconformities, which fact main sources undesirable events with an effect. These elements, non-conformities,...

"Black-out" is a total lack of power for all consumers (domestic, industrial and critical) can cause multiple damage to industry national economy. Because infrastructure by sub/stations overhead lines ensures access electricity consumers, it critical that sectors the economy are dependent on European Union must ensure their protection resilience. If measures not carried out, may become vulnerable. The authors consider analysis quantification black-out, identification infrastructures,...

OHS Management (Safety Work and Health), represent a very wide field of interdisciplinarity multidisciplinarity in the following domains: technical, medical, military security, because multiple sources elements instability (risks, dangers, threats) to workers, order discover best optimal methods, actions prevention protection ensuring workplace's working maximum safety conditions, without disturbing industry national economy's wellbeing. The most effective way protect workesr health is...

In the current context in which national and European energy security is jeopardized by military food instability proximity of our country amplified possible risks, vulnerabilities threats to National Power System, occurrence an power disaster (black-out) becomes very possible. Lack electricity industrial areas can cause major damage through enormous financial losses, domino effect spread economic insecurity. this context, critical analysis 220 kV substations a real issue makes paper...

Regardless of its type and size, any organization is faced with risks that can affect the achievement objectives in terms activities, strategic initiatives, operations, processes projects, different consequences on strategic, operational, financial results image reputation.

A safe and secure coal industry gives a strong energy economy. Just in this way Romania can become good strategic partner with powerful states from all over the world. Thus, security becomes one of most important pillars Romanian security. For industry, needs resources highly specialized human resources, has key role creating stability factors for supply that are quantified by coal. The authors consider is strictly national European issue because lack cause enormous damage to economy, which...

In the last three decades, Romania has evolved greatly through individual and joint action of its citizens achieved national objectives essential for internal stability development strengthening external position: integration in NATO European Union.
