Experience in using electrical exploration methods to assess the environmental safety of wind power plant construction in the Eastern Donba
Incoming article date: 17.01.2020The article presents the results of complex geophysical studies to assess the environmental safety of the construction of wind power tower installations in order to prevent their design and construction in technogenic and tectonically disturbed zones on the territories of mountain branches of closed mines in the Eastern Donbass. The brief essence of electrical exploration technologies of electroprospecting method by electrical spatial filtering (MPEF) and electro-potential tomographic sensing (EPTS). The information content of the technologies used in conjunction with standard geophysical methods of electrical exploration (vertical electric sounding and seismic survey method of refracted waves) is shown. The results of interpretation of data obtained in the field are discussed. The results of the research were: - identification of EPTS technologies of structural inhomogeneities of the geological section of coal-bearing deposits with their division into lithological (repetition of the form on the electric profiling graphs shifted by the step of the feed line transfer) and tectonic or technogenic ones (difference electric probe curves at adjacent points) - detailing of destructive zones identified by EPTS using MPEF technology: 1) inversions of electro-profiling graphs registered with multidirectional electric field excitation. 2) displacement of inversion points in places where tectonic discontinuities are present in the coal-bearing column.
