Multi-period management and sensibility analysis of the model of a solar tower power plant using molten salt

Thomas Wicht

Solar power is nowadays a promising solution to the energy supply problem, at least in the countries of the sunbelt or for solutions of delocalized production as the Desertec project . Due to the transient nature of solar irradiance, some storage technique ...

BH4- Self-Diffusion in Liquid LiBH4

Philippe Mauron, Pascal Martelli

The hydrogen dynamics in solid and in liquid LiBH4 was studied by means of incoherent quasielastic neutron scattering. Rotational jump diffusion of the BH4 - subunits on the picosecond scale was observed in solid LiBH4. The characteristic time constant is ...

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes functionalized by carboxylic groups: Activation of TiO2 (anatase) and phosphate olivines (LiMnPO4; LiFePO4) for electrochemical Li-storage

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Ladislav Kavan, Florian Le Formal

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes functionalized by carboxylic groups, exhibit better affinity towards TiO2 (P90, Degussa) as compared to that of pristine nanotubes. Also the electrochemical performance of TiO2 is improved by nanotube networking, but the Li-st ...

Replacement and emulation of a lead-acid battery with supercapacitors for a UPS application

Alfred Rufer, Philippe Barrade, Yannick Louvrier

This contribution proposes the study of an ‘On-Line’ UPS, where adaptations have been made to replace the initial batteries with supercapacitors. As the electrical behavior of supercapacitors is different from that one of lead-acid batteries, a power elect ...
