Preface

If you are doing something beautiful and sublime, and no one notices it – do not worry: sunrise is generally the most beautiful sight in the world, but most people are still asleep at this time.

John Lennon

Energy is what characterizes the entire civilization and this is an extremely true statement, because even the level of development of society is determined precisely due to the amount of energy generated by it. But this generation may not always be safe. For example, the generation of electrical energy through steam is extremely complex, and in large volumes even dangerous technology that leads to large-scale natural disasters. Speaking of the wind industry, it has yet to be studied in more detail, but if we stop at nuclear energy, it is important to say that uranium is already outliving its age and it is necessary to switch to more advanced technologies, for example, the inclusion of thermonuclear reactions, but even better the use of resonant nuclear reactions, which have been mentioned more than once and it was said.

By themselves, these reactions are as environmentally friendly as solar energy, of course, with the introduction of some very revolutionary changes. But even more shocking will be the collaboration of these two titans of the energy industry – solar energy and energy of resonant nuclear reactions, which is likely to give just a shocking result. Speaking about the relevance and relevance of this project as such, it is enough just to note the beginning of the "energy hunger" across the planet and around the world.

But if we stop only at the technologies of solar power plants themselves, then we can already cite a number of very different facts regarding the active development of this direction as quite rapidly progressing.

Speaking about the study of this problem, it is important to proceed from the very beginning. The first discovery in 1839 by Alexander Edmond Becquerel of the photoelectric effect in the study of electrolytic elements contributed to the growth of interest in them among the scientific community. In 1873, Willoughby Smith discovered the photoconductivity of selenium, and in Johann Elster and Hans Geitel studied the effects of sunlight on electrified bodies. Later in 1887, Heinrich Hertz observed the photoelectric effect and reported on the production and reception of electromagnetic waves with their help.

In the future, this issue most often turned to scientific debates, but for the first time the idea of industrial use of solar energy is assigned to the time of Frank Schumann, on the use of solar engines and pumping water with their help. But for his project, about 15,000 square meters of Land were needed to use solar generators resembling modern solar collectors, which would allow for 1,000 horsepower. And for the first time experimentally, this project began its work on the territory of Africa back in June 1913.

After that, the German government, headed by Wilhelm II himself, allocated large sums for this, but the First World War began, which contributed to the closure of the project.

Speaking of the scientific development of the idea, further study of this issue in the effects of Stoletov, Riga, Hoor and others led to a number of questions and later developed into the famous "absolutely black body" problem, near the 1900s. Which was later solved thanks to the introduction of Max Planck's works in the work "On the law of energy distribution in the normal spectrum", which was finally boldly developed in a completely different way, having received the simplest and at the same time ingenious solution by Albert Einstein, in the form of his equation for the photoelectric effect, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1921. awards.

Today, the photovoltaic effect is very often used in all directions and research, many firms and enterprises are actively working towards the creation of new power plants, but no one has yet attempted a real collaboration, the actions of two huge parts of the energy industry together, and the question of how this can be done, is this method and solution effective and a number of derivatives are central.

The purpose of this study is:

· Creation of a strong communication system between the nuclear and solar energy model;

· Improvement of solar energy extraction technologies with the highest possible efficiency;

· Reaching new heights in the field of scaling electric power generation systems;

· Creation of mathematical and physical apparatus for connecting solar and nuclear systems;

· Calculation of both the nuclear and solar side of the study of all processes and integer values of the characteristics of systems;

· Generation of a huge amount of electric energy, capable of providing almost the entire Republic of Uzbekistan by more than 174%.

The object of this study is the merger of solar power plants with a new resonant nuclear reaction power plant.

The subject of this study is the process of studying the fusion of solar power plants with a new resonant nuclear reaction power plant.

For this study, an instrumental, empirical and theoretical research method was applied, which gave the necessary important results.

The scientific novelty of this work is based on the following:

· Together with Clipper Energy LLC, aka Clipper Associates Malaysia LLC, a large-scale modeling and calculation of the process indicators of the project to create a Solar Park for 1000 MW energy in the Fergana Valley is being carried out;

· The first system of collaboration between the Solar Park and the world's first station for generating electricity through the phenomena of physics of resonant nuclear reactions, developed in the world's first laboratory of physics of resonant nuclear reactions in the Fergana Valley by Electron Laboratory LLC with generation to convert 1 GWh of energy into 17.4 GWh;

· The only worldwide development in the field of development of joint technologies for nuclear energy conversion;

· The world's only technology for the use of solar interference in the production of energy.

The reliability of the results is based on the ongoing project to implement two power plants, which were mentioned earlier on the basis of cooperation between Clipper Associates LLC and Electron Laboratory LLC, which will lead to great results, if we mention the number of publications, then this was mentioned in many scientific articles, but as a professional book publication in the field of solar energy, this the job is the first one. Quite a few monographs, textbooks and others have already been published in the nuclear field.

Chapter 1. Orders, resolutions and orders in the Republic of Uzbekistan on alternative and renewable energy sources

Since the main problems of the energy crisis are becoming more and more relevant today all over the world, the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Sh. Mirziyoyev pays great attention to the development of energy, as evidenced by numerous active contacts with the states of the world on cooperation in the field of creating new energy installations, among which renewable energy sources have a high priority. It is also worth pointing out that a large number of companies, firms, organizations around the world want to act as investors, to which the Government of the state expresses keen interest, which is also evidenced by the attention of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan to the energy issue at official meetings with heads of state.

The following resolutions may serve as proof of the above:
