The State Academy of Sciences of the DPRK directs efforts to solving urgent sci-tech problems for economic development.

The Electricity Research Institute has settled sci-tech problems for putting the production of electricity on a normal basis.

Researchers of the institute went to Orangchon Power Station Unit 4 and others and learned about the problems arising there to develop a new method of controlling digital speed regulators.

They newly designed a device of regulators and developed a program capable of controlling the main factors affecting electric power production. After developing a relevant effective control device, they provided a scientific and technical guarantee for the new controlling method through the trial run of the devices in water-wheel generators. The new controlling method has made a great contribution to ensuring the normal operation of the generators.

The academy has achieved successes in the research for putting the Sinuiju Combined Greenhouse Farm on an intelligent, scientific and modern basis at a higher level than before.

The Modernization Institute completed many information devices, control boards, upgraded automatic agrochemical sprayer and corona discharge air cleaning devices in the course of intensifying research for establishing an intelligent integrated production system.

The Electronics Institute designed and made a new type of nutritious liquid feeder high in feeding speed and control accuracy to lay a foundation for establishing an efficient nutritious liquid feeding system.

Meanwhile, various other research units of the academy have made achievements in carrying out research tasks such as those in the fields of chemistry, renewable energy and farm machine production.

The Biodiversity Institute made achievements in scientific research for the protection of ecological environment.

The institute confirmed the major distribution areas of migratory birds (water birds) inhabiting the country and completed a new chart of the network of migratory bird reserves.

Scientists of the institute travelled wetlands inhabited by migratory birds across the country to clarify the habitat-selecting characteristics of over 100 species of migratory birds, including swan goose, common pochard and long-tailed duck that belong to Anatidae, and draw the birds’ habitats distribution chart.

They also newly confirmed migratory bird (wetland) reserves and relevant candidates that meet the international criterion for wetland selection and completed a reserve network plan for increasing their area stage by stage.
