Distributed Multi-Unit Privacy Assured Bidding (PAB) for Smart Grid Demand Response Programs

The stringent requirement of the demand-supply equilibrium for delivering electricity has traditionally been dealt with a supply-side perspective, assuming that the demand is not alterable. With the promises of the Smart Grid, demand- side management techn ...

Application of the VUV and the soft x-ray systems on JET for the study of intrinsic impurity behavior in neon seeded hybrid discharges

Jonathan Graves

This paper reports on impurity behavior in a set of hybrid discharges with Ne seeding-one of the techniques considered to reduce the power load on reactor walls. A series of experiments carried out with light gas injection on JET with the ITER-Like-Wall (I ...

MVDC Distribution Fed High Power Multi-Motor Drives

Uzair Javaid

High power variable speed drives play a major role in many industrial applications. At the moment, these high power loads are supplied by the source (grid/generator) through the state-of-the-art MVAC power distribution network. The voltage levels, in these ...

Exploring the application domain of adaptive structures

Gennaro Senatore

Using a previously developed design methodology it was shown that optimal material distribution in combination with strategic integration of the actuation system lead to significant whole-life energy savings when the design is governed by rare but strong l ...

Divertor power load studies for attached L-mode single-null plasmas in TCV

Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui, Wouter Vijvers, Roberto Maurizio

This paper investigates the power loads at the inner and outer divertor targets of attached, Ohmic L-mode, deuterium plasmas in the TCV tokamak, in various experimental situations using an Infrared thermography system. The study comprises variations of the ...

Photovoltaic Model-Based Solar Irradiance Estimators: Performance Comparison and Application to Maximum Power Forecasting

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Enrica Scolari

Due to the increasing proportion of distributed photovoltaic (PV) production in the generation mix, the knowledge of the PV generation capacity has become a key factor. In this work, we propose to compute the PV plant maximum power starting from the indire ...

Effect of Loading Pattern on Fatigue Behavior of Laminated Composites

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Abdolvahid Movahedirad

The effect of load interruptions on the fatigue behavior of (±45)2s angle-ply glass/epoxy composite laminates was investigated in this work. Constant amplitude fatigue experiments were performed at different stress levels to derive base line fatigue data. ...

Effects of load interruption on the fatigue life of GFRP composites

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Abdolvahid Movahedirad

The effect of cyclic loading interruption on the fatigue behavior of angle-ply (±45)2S glass/epoxy composite laminates was investigated by comparing the obtained results of continuous- and interrupted loading patterns. Continuous fatigue experiments were p ...

Torsion and bending failure of skew notched beams: 3D numerical modelling of quasi brittle materials with the mixed strain-displacement FEM

Lorenzo Benedetti

The testing of mode III and mixed mode failure is every so often encountered in the dedicated literature of mechanical characterization of brittle and quasi-brittle materials. In this work, the application of the mixed strain displacementfinite element for ...

Experimental Studies of the Snowflake Divertor in TCV

Basil Duval, Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Umar Sheikh, Federico Nespoli, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh, Wouter Vijvers

To address the risk that, in a fusion reactor, the conventional single-null divertor (SND) configuration may not be able to handle the power exhaust, alternative divertor configurations, such as the Snowflake divertor (SFD), are investigated in TCV. The ex ...
