Point changes in the proportions of the content blocks of the programs made it possible to achieve the optimal set of topics that satisfies the needs of the customer in terms of developing certain competences in the employees, as well as the course participants themselves in terms of interest in learning and personal growth. The developed approach makes it possible for the company of the customer to introduce a system of continuous professional training, advanced training and retraining of personnel by controlling the level of competence of trained employees to improve performance.

The article describes the current situation in the global uranium concentrate market, explains the reasons for the formation of an excess amount of finished goods and the subsequent decreasein prices. The authorsevaluated the prospects of using market mechanisms to improve the financial results of Russian uranium mining enterprises. The location of the main mining centers in comparison with the centers of consumption of finished goods, pricing for the products of uranium mining companies, the dynamics of price changes over the past 20 years, the influence of non-market factors on the supply of finished products are analyzed.This study led to the conclusion that the expectation of changes in the market situation is not viable in a long term. The authors outlined the direction to improve the profitability of mining enterprises by introducing technological changes aimed at reducing the cost of the final product.

The system of the preventive maintenance (PM), accepted at production association LLC KINEF, taking into account safe operation and health assessment, is analyzed. Statistical data of results of diagnostics are processed; options of the increase of the integrated reliability indicator of the system of pipeline transport are offered. The trend lines of a condition change of the pipeline in time and the approximate curves of diagnostic data of nondestructive inspection technique with creation of the long-term forecast of its technical condition was constructed. The option of correction of the accepted PM system with the analysis of quantitative change of an indicator of reliability was developed, by which application of the percentage of uptime will increase from 0.909 to 0.957.

The article discusses the extraction of solid mineral resources (SMR) from the bottom, such as ferromanganese nodules (FMN) and cobalt-manganese crusts (CMC), occurring in both offshore and deep regions of the World Ocean. For separating and lifting the water surface is used mining complex, which includes a hydraulically dragheads and intermediate capsule with atmospheric pressure introduced into the of extraction process in order to increase energy efficiency through the organization of a two-stage hydroascent, the first stage is carried out by external hydrostatic pressure. To determine the optimum depth of immersion of the intermediate capsule composed mathematical model. It is based on the sustainable hydroascent provided at the first stage transport (from the bottom to capsule), and reducing power consumption slurry pump performing the second stage transport (from the capsule to the sea surface). In determining the rational immersion depth were taken into account design features of slurry pipeline, mine geological parameters, the parameters of extracted minerals, performance of dragheads, the slurry flow parameters, such as concentration, consistency, density. Presents an example calculation and determined the optimal capsule insertion depth for offshore geological environments.

This paper analyzes the possibility of using electric vehicles as a controlled distributed generator. Aggregation of demand and supply for electric power with the participation of batteries allows us to solve the problem of the development of the electric grid infrastructure of megacities. The absence in some areas of the city of opportunities for technological connection of consumers and significant deterioration of the network infrastructure is solved by the integration of electric vehicles in the city's power system. The article shows that information technology allows you to control the energy curve over time. At the same time, the power schedule in the loaded power centers will be deprived of pronounced highs and lows, which favorably affects the loading of generating capacities. Informatization of electric transport and the use of a digital platform will eventually become part of the concept of "smart city".

The article discusses the structure of autonomous electrical systems with an electric drive and an electric energy generation system. An approach is described for assessing the overall efficiency of technological cycle equipment with specification of parameters that must be considered when calculating it. The necessity of taking into account energy efficiency and operability indicators of autonomous electric complexes is substantiated. The effectiveness of the use of autonomous systems decreases throughout the entire life cycle due to wear and tear. As the operability of electromechanical equipment, an indicator of the residual resource is selected. The calculation of the residual resource, with the definition of its boundary values and recommendations for further use. Nominal energy efficiency parameters of autonomous electrotechnical complexes with electric drive deteriorate during operation, which also needs to be taken into account. To simplify the assessment of the operational state of electromechanical equipment, a state diagram is presented that allows you to track the dynamics of degradation of individual nodes. Taking into account the described indicators and means of control, it is possible to increase the efficiency of using autonomous complexes.
