Maintenance and optimization of the TCV power supply

Damien Fasel, Ugo Siravo, Jérémie Dubray

The TCV tokamak is powered by a flywheel generator to supply the magnetic coils and the auxiliary heating systems. The generator has just undergone its fourth major overhaul to make it ready for the next ten years, after more than thirty years of almost tr ...

Homogenization results for the generator of multiscale Langevin dynamics in weighted Sobolev spaces

Andrea Zanoni

We study the homogenization of the Poisson equation with a reaction term and of the eigenvalue problem associated to the generator of multiscale Langevin dynamics. Our analysis extends the theory of two-scale convergence to the case of weighted Sobolev spa ...

Deexcitation Characterization for Power Supply Protection in DC Shipboard Power Systems

Drazen Dujic, Seongil Kim

The deexcitation of a synchronous machine has been used for the protection of the power supply based on a diode rectifier in marine dc power distribution networks. The fault current from the generator can be eliminated with the protection method utilizing ...

Collaborative Sampling in Generative Adversarial Networks

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Yuejiang Liu, Parth Ashit Kothari

The standard practice in Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) discards the discriminator during sampling. However, this sampling method loses valuable information learned by the discriminator regarding the data distribution. In this work, we propose a co ...

A Supervisory Control Structure for Voltage-Controlled Islanded DC Microgrids

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Pulkit Nahata, Alessio La Bella

In this work, we propose a supervisory control structure in islanded DC microgrids such that a well scheduled and balanced utilization of various resources is achieved. Our supervisory control layer rests on top of a voltage-controlled primary layer and co ...

Attribute-Guided Sketch Generation

Yan Yan, Wei Wang, Xinya Chen

Facial attributes are important since they provide a detailed description and determine the visual appearance of human faces. In this paper, we aim at converting a face image to a sketch while simultaneously generating facial attributes. To this end, we pr ...

Triboelectric effect to harness fluid flow energy

Danick Briand, Rubaiyet Iftekharul Haque, Amr Yehia Hussien Mahmoud Arafat

We are reporting energy scavenging from fluid flows inside tubular structures using triboelectric effects. Two separate designs of triboelectric generators are proposed. A tubular design that uses liquid-solid interaction mechanism for water, and freestand ...

Design of High Permittivity Polysiloxane Elastomers for Dielectric Elastomer Transducers

Philip Horst Caspari

Dielectric elastomer transducers consist of a dielectric elastomer between two compliant electrodes. When the elastic capacitor is electrically charged, the dielectric elastomer elongates until a balance of elastic and electrostatic force is reached. Elect ...
