Five medium size NbTi cable-in-conduit conductors with parametric variations in the cable layout were fabricated of three different strands to investigate their DC performance, AC loss behaviour and transient stability by means of the SULTAN facility. A co ...
The paper is a contribution to the studies of factors that can affect electric (E) and magnetic (H) fields associated with lightning return strokes to tall structure. Herein, the influence of lightning channel inclination upon vertical E-field and azimutha ...
We study the infrared properties of the Si-SiO2 interface within a first-principles approach. In order to provide an atomic-scale description of the dielectric permittivity (both high-frequency and static) and of the infrared absorption at the interface, w ...
This paper presents an analysis of lightning return strokes to tall structures. The interaction of lightning with a tall structure is modeled using the antenna theory. The finite ground conductivity as well as the buried grounding system of the tall struct ...
Lightning currents and electromagnetic fields associated with return strokes to elevated strike objects The aim of this thesis is the modeling of lightning return strokes impacting elevated strike objects such as towers. The theoretical and experimental wo ...
The performance of HTS devices is strongly influenced by local values of the current/field distributions. In this paper, we investigate the influence of the magnetic field and of the geometrical configuration on the loss behaviour of a 200kVA FCL prototype ...
In this paper, we present a review of theoretical methods to compute lightning induced currents and voltages on buried cables. The evaluation of such induced disturbances requires the calculation of the electric field produced by lightning along the cable ...
The use of HTSC tapes as main components in future power applications requires better understanding of their AC loss behaviour. Previous studies have lead to conclusions that eddy current loss is a significant loss factor at high frequency in self-field. I ...
Using plastics or dyes like molecular semiconductors to make optoelectronic devices at low cost is a project in industry that is of great interest to the "Information Community" of this beginning of the 21st century. Some applications of this technology ha ...
Different FEM formulations have been developed in order to model the electromagnetic behaviour of type II super-conductors. The paper presents a comparison between simulations with A-V formulation models implemented in two FEM software packages (FLUX2D and ...
