Let’s talk about Energy poverty
Energy poverty doesn’t just mean higher gas and electricity bills—it also has serious effects on health, quality of life, and overall well-being.
Čo si predstavíte pod pojmom “energetická chudoba”?
Energetická chudoba neznamená len vyššie účty za plyn a elektrinu, ale má aj dopady na zdravie, kvalitu života a celkovú pohodu ľudí.
Echo: Kybernetické hrozby v oblasti solárnej energie: Čo nám hrozí?
Kybernetické útoky sú stále sofistikovanejšie a už neohrozujú len tradičné technológie, ako sú počítačové systémy alebo veterné turbíny. Novou hrozbou sa stávajú aj solárne panely. Etickí hackeri z Holandska nedávno odhalili, že tieto zariadenia nie sú dostatočne zabezpečené proti manipulácii. Dokázali solárne panely na diaľku vypínať, zapínať a dokonca meniť ich parametre. Solárna energia pritom hrá kľúčovú úlohu v energetickom mixe Európskej únie. V roku 2022 zabezpečovala solárna energia v Holandsku až 14 % dodávok elektriny, čo je najvyšší podiel v EÚ. To len zvyšuje význam ochrany týchto zdrojov. Jedným z najzraniteľnejších komponentov sú konvertory, ktoré menia solárnu energiu na elektrinu vhodnú pre distribučnú sieť. Práve tieto konvertory môžu byť…
Echo: Cyber threats in solar energy: What are we facing?
Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and are no longer just targeting traditional technologies like computer systems or wind turbines. A new threat has emerged: solar panels. Ethical hackers from the Netherlands recently revealed that these devices are not sufficiently protected against tampering. They managed to remotely turn solar panels on and off and even change their settings. Solar energy plays a crucial role in the European Union’s energy mix. In 2022, solar energy accounted for 14% of the electricity supply in the Netherlands, the highest share in the EU. This only underscores the importance of protecting these resources. One of the most vulnerable components is the converters, which transform solar…
Echo: Strengthening cyber resilience in the EU’s energy sector: Insights from the latest ENISA report
A new report provides the first comprehensive overview of cybersecurity in the EU’s energy sectors. It focuses on supply chain risks, technical vulnerabilities, and sector-specific threats. Member States and ENISA are urged to swiftly implement recommendations to strengthen resilience.
Echo: Posilnenie kybernetickej odolnosti v energetike EÚ: Čo nám priniesla najnovšia správa?
Nová správa prináša prvý komplexný prehľad kybernetickej bezpečnosti v energetike EÚ. Zameriava sa na riziká v dodávateľských reťazcoch, technické zraniteľnosti a špecifické hrozby pre oba sektory.
Slovakia on the path to carbon neutrality: What does it mean for you?
As one of the humble authors, I am excited to share our work on the importance of achieving carbon neutrality in Slovakia by 2050. In this report, we aim to enhance discussions in the public domain, promote cooperation among government bodies, and provide informative insights for policymakers, businesses, and the public. Let's dive into the analysis and discover the noteworthy messages it holds.
Slovensko na ceste k uhlíkovej neutralite: Čo to znamená pre vás?
Ako aj v minulosti, i nedávno som prispela svojou troškou k aktualizovanej verzii reportu "Nízko-uhlíkové Slovensko 2050, Aktualizácia analýzy scenárov vývoja emisií skleníkových plynov v Slovenskej republike". Report bol vypublikovaný v januári 2024 a popisuje aktualizovaný scenár dosiahnutia nulových emisií v roku 2050 pre Slovenskú republiku na základe nastavenia a výsledkov v modeli Pathways Explorer 2050.
Čo som vykoumala k elektromobilite
This article contains a summary of my research study Electromobility and energy needs, a case for Slovakia developed for Ministry of Economy of Slovak Republic in 2019.
Zamyslenie nad vzájomnou pomocou a rebríčkami, kde nechcete byť
Neverim, ze ludom je to jedno. Neverim, ze osobne pohodlie je viac ako zivot cloveka. Neverim, ze cloveku v nudzi nikto nepoda pomocnu ruku. Dufam, ze ta spolupatricnost a ochota pomoct tu este stale je. Ze ju za ten cas frustracia nevytlacila.
Hungary: Ezstergom / Ostrihom
Ezstergom, a Hungarian city on a southern bank of Danube, connected to Slovakia's Štúrovo by a historical bridge of Maria Valeria from 1895. Ezstergom's old city streets are charming, but the most well known is its basilica atop the hill and a palace owned by Ezsterhazy family, now a museum.
Hungary: Visegrad / Vyšehrad
Visegrad is a small Hungarian city often mentioned in the history. A castle from 4th century atop the hill offers magnificent views of river Danube.
U susedov: Potulky Budapešťou
Budapešť je krásna, dýcha tu história, jedlo je skvelé a maďarská kúpeľná kultúra má tiež čosi do seba. Mesto samotné, vrátane nabrežia Dunaja, štvrte s kráľovským palácom a Andrássyho ulica sú zapísané na zozname svetového dedičstva UNESCO od roku 1987.
Hungary: A weekend break in Budapest
A beautiful city full of history, good food and wellness culture - that's how I would describe Budapest, the capital of Hungary. It is also on UNESCO's World heritage sites list since 1987.
Czech Rep: Beautiful Prague / Stovežatá
Prague is one of those European cities I have never visited as a tourist. I always joined my local friends living in the city and they showed me around.
Albania: Discovering the Balkan country
Until recently, Albania was a lesser known country for me. Of course, I knew the basics, I could easily pinpoint the country's location on the map, knew the capital, size, inhabitants, a little about the history, etc.. For work I researched the country's energy sector and learnt more about the country, the culture, history and the people in general. And was even more curious. So I visited the country in summer 2016.
Albánsko – objavovanie nepoznaného
Akú predstavu u vás vyvolá Albánsko? U mňa to donedávna bola čierna diera, ktorú som však vedela celkom presne umiestniť na mapu Balkánu. O krajine som vedela iba toľko, že patrila tiež do komunistického bloku, ale tak trochu inak. Tiež mali svojho "otca národa", ktorý sa volal podobne ako náš národný buditeľ a Štúrov kamarát. Neskôr sa ku mne rôznymi cestičkami dostávalo postupne viac detailov a môj záujem o túto krajinu začal narastať.
Three days and 49 kilometres in Athens
I have visited Athens twice so far - in November 2008 and in February 2017. And will gladly return anytime. The city centre is a gigantic historical open-air museum with some monuments dating back more than 2500 years. The food is delicious, people are nice and friendly, the sun is shining most of the time and there is always something new to discover.
Grécke Atény a trojdňový maratón po pamiatkach
Atény som navštívila dva krát. V novembri 2008 a vo februári 2017. A rada sa tam kedykoľvek znova vrátim. Centrum mesta je ako jeden veľký historický skanzen starý viac ako 2500 rokov.
Athens: The Majestic Acropolis
A historical city of Acropolis is located in the very heart of Athens at the top of the steep Acropolis hill. This area was reportedly inhabited already in 4000-3000 BC. It's main building - the temple of Parthenon - is visible from almost anywhere in Athens.
Athens: Zappeion
Zappeion is a palace housing a conference centre in Athens, located near the Olympic Panathenaic stadium, Hadrian's arch, Temple of Olympian Zeus and National Gardens.
