Until about the year 2030, current-day nuclear power plants (NPPs) will be replaced by so-called Gen-III or Gen-III+ units, which are mainly based on light water reactor technology. The principal new features are increased safety and improved economical ef ...
This work is carried out on behalf of the MIADAC project (Modelling Sectoral Climate Change Policies: Mitigation, Adaptation and Acceptance) of NCCR Climate and the ClimPol project (Climate Policy Making for Enhanced Technological and Institutional Innovat ...
The project is dealing with the influence of private actors on climate policy, namely the influence of business on Swiss climate policy. The project uses a case study, assessing the voluntary agreements concluded between the federal government and the asso ...
A novel ignition concept based on autoignition in an unscavanged prechamber is currently being developed at the Laboratory for Industrial Energy Systems (LENI). On a single cylinder test engine a series of experimental runs (CR=8.5-14, =1-1.6, RPM=1150/150 ...
For materials of varying band gap, we compare energy levels of atomically localized defects calculated within a semilocal and a hybrid density-functional scheme. Since the latter scheme partially relieves the band gap problem, our study describes how calcu ...
The performance of portable power generation systems is a major limitation on the freedom and amount of utility provided by portable electronic devices. In that respect, fuel cells are a promising alternative to current state-of-the-art batteries as there ...
JET plasmas with reverse magnetic field feature a different SOL flow than those with normal field. The observed carbon fuelling efficiency from injecting methane gas was similar in reverse and normal field. EDGE2D modeling used an externally applied force ...
Mini and small hydropower is a renewable, clean and efficient resource for the production of mechanical and electrical power. By offsetting thermal generation, it can be a leading technology in climate change mitigation and sustainable development. Small h ...
The FAST code system is currently being developed and used at the Paul Scherrer Institut for static and transient analysis of the main Generation 4 fast-spectrum reactor concepts: sodium-, helium-, and gas-cooled fast reactors. The code system includes the ...
The necessity to take into account environment problems and in parallel a need for more energy, for the development of emerging economies, makes the management of energy sources a very important problem. The electric transmission network is charged with mo ...
