On March 9^th, another Institute Seminar took place, where MSc Piotr Hylla presented a report entitled "The concept of micro networks in the field of electricity management".
The report presents the results of analysis, which concerned the possibility of using micro networks in a complex structure supplying electricity to individual buildings of KOMAG Institute of Mining Technology. The analysis covered both technical and economic aspects of the proposed solutions.

The representatives of KOMAG Institute took part in the 20th Trade Fair for Safety, Occupational Health and Fire Safety as a part of cooperation with the Central Mining Rescue Station in Bytom.

Innovative training materials have been presented during the Fair. They included the usage of following technologies: virtual reality (VR), 360 panoramas and augmented reality (AR), which had been developed by the Laboratory of Modeling Methods and Ergonomics of the KOMAG Institute with the participation of the Central Mining Rescue Station in Bytom.

The materials were created using solutions developed within the Erasmus+ MOTIV-e project.

REGIONAL SYSTEM FOR ENERGY STORAGE OF SILESIA A REPLY TO THE SECOND LIFE OF MANY POST-MINING SITES

Discussion with Mr. Dariusz Prostański, Professor at KOMAG,
Director of the KOMAG Institute of Mining Technology.

Good morning, Professor Prostański, it’s time to come back to our discussion on energy warehouses, although let me tell you that several people whom I have had discussions with drew my attention to the fact that the interview with you was very interesting and above the ordinary, because it showed a completely new conception of the region transformation, keeping the distance to a description of energy storage technical aspects. Keeping this formula, can you please tell me how your conception is being developed? Where are you as regards a preparation of the KOMAG strategy and has anybody become interested in your ideas at all?

An interview with Mr. Dariusz Prostański, D.Sc. Eng. Prof. at KOMAG, Director of KOMAG Institute of Mining Technology

The Polish Energy Sector turns more and more into the green direction. The circum-mining subjects must register in this trend. What is the reaction of KOMAG to these changes?

I have never perceived KOMAG as a “circum-mining subject”, we have been an integral part of the mining sector for many years. To tell you more, to a big extent we have decided about an innovativeness of this branch of industry for more than 70 years and we want to be and I believe that we will be – because we have full competences for that – an active participant of the transformation under development. I can say so, because you are in the Institute which, to a big extent, its scientific-and-research transformation has already finished – in my opinion with a big success, and the strategy till the year 2050, which is being prepared by me at present and which I would announce in June, will precisely show our ambitions and competences in the transformation field of the energy sector as well as of the entire Silesia.
