SnS Quantum Dots as Hole Transporter of Perovskite Solar Cells
Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Yuhang Liu, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Peng Wang, Yang Li, Dan Ren, Zaiwei Wang, Xiaofei Dong
Perovskite solar cells have achieved comparable power conversion efficiencies as commercial silicon cells, making the issue of long-term operation stability as the most critical scientific factor toward industrial realization. In this work, we introduce Sn ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2019NoCs:a Short History of Success and a Long Future
The broad application of NoCs in IC design has been enabled by NoC synthesis tools that evolved from university prototypes to full commercial synthesis flows. NoC embodiments are ubiquitously present in circuits and systems. As systems evolve to include ne ...
2018Identification of optimal operating strategy of direct air-cooling condenser for Rankine cycle based power plants
François Maréchal, Ligang Wang, Xiang Li
Direct air-cooling condenser has attracted significant attention in the last decade due to the employment of Rankine-cycle based power plants from renewable (e.g., concentrated solar) or traditional (e.g., coal) heat sources in water-scarce areas. The opti ...
2018Étude géotechnique des ouvrages souterrains de l'extension de la centrale hydroélectrique de Lavey
The run-of-river hydro power plant of Lavey, situated in the Western part of Switzerland, is an important source of renewable energy for the city of Lausanne. With its annual production of roughly 400 GWh it covers approximately a third of its consumptions ...
2018Creation Of An Openfoam Fuel Performance Class Based On Fred And Integration Into The Gen-Foam Multi-Physics Code
Andreas Pautz, Konstantin Mikityuk, Carlo Fiorina
The FRED code is an in-house tool developed at the Paul Scherrer Institut for the so-called 1.5-D nuclear fuel performance analysis. In order to extend its field of application, this code has been re-implemented as a class of the OpenFOAM numerical library ...
AMER SOC MECHANICAL ENGINEERS2018Pin-by-Pin Treatment of LWR Cores with Cross Section Equivalence Procedures and Higher-Order Transport Methods
This thesis presents a systematic study on the merits and limitations on using pin-by-pin resolution and transport theory based approaches for nuclear core design calculations. Starting from the lattice codes and an optimal cross section generation scheme, ...
EPFL2018Hydropeaking attenuation in revitalized rivers
Hydro power plants operate their turbine to match the peaks in electricity demand. This leads to strongly unsteady flow regimes downstream of the power plants outlet into the river. From an ecological point of view, those sudden starting and stopping of tu ...
2018Design of a Throttled Surge Tank for Refurbishment by Increase of Installed Capacity at a High-Head Power Plant
Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Nicolas Jean François Pascal Ghislain Adam, Bernard Valluy
The Swiss confederation aims to phase out nuclear power production with its Energy Strategy 2050 program by increasing the renewable energy contribution to its overall energy generation. Hydroelectricity, which is the most important form of renewable energ ...
American Society of Civil Engineers2018Helium effects on irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking susceptibility of 316L austenitic stainless steel
The formation and growth of cracks by irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) in light water reactor internals is a critical issue for a safe long-term operation of nuclear power plants. The IASCC susceptibility at relatively low dose is dom ...
