Using 3D technology and interdisciplinary expertise, a research team has explored Buddhist temples in the remote Dolpo region of Nepal and digitized them for posterity In the high-altitude and extremely remote region of Dolpo in north-west Nepal, there are numerous Buddhist temples whose history dates back to the 11th century. The structures are threatened by earthquakes, landslides and planned infrastructure projects such as the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative. There is also a lack of financial resources for long-term maintenance….

One of the new virtual power plants enables the Munich municipal utility company to run six of its cogeneration modules, five hydroelectric facilities, and one…
This powerbridge will enable operators of solar or wind power facilities to logon to a virtual power plant through the Internet with just a few mouse clicks.The operators will retain full control over their facilities and can decide how much of them they wish to integrate into the virtual power plant. A non-commercial prototype of the system was presented at the Hanover Fair 2012 by the RegModHarz project team for renewable energy in the Harz region….
