Optimization of Maximum Charge Per Delay Using Site-Specific Ground Vibration Prediction Models for Safe Blasting in an Opencast Coal Mine
Abstract: Drilling and blasting are critical operations in opencast coal mining that directly influence rock fragmentation, excavation efficiency, and production performance. However, excessive blast-induced ground vibration and air overpressure can create safety and environmental concerns, particularly in mines located near villages and sensitive structures. The present study was conducted at Chapapur-II Colliery, Mugma Area, Eastern Coalfields Limited (ECL), with the objective of optimizing blast design through the determination of safe maximum …

Adaptive Maximum Power Point Tracking Using Improved Cuckoo Search for Solar Panels During Variable Sunlight and Shaded Conditions
Abstract: India's government seeks to keep up with the country's quickly increasing energy needs, which are mostly satisfied by burning coal and oil. By 2030, 40% of the country's energy is expected to originate from renewable sources, according to official plans. By 2022, New Delhi hopes to generate 175 GW of renewable energy, primarily from solar and wind power, with a target of 100 gigawatts. Although India has very few renewable …
