Interface modification to optimize charge separation in cyanine heterojunction photovoltaic devices

Frank Nüesch, Libero Zuppiroli, Grégory Tornare

We investigate heterojunction photovoltaic devices using the carbocyanine 1,1'-diethyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylcarbocyanine perchlorate (Cy5) as donor and buckminsterfullerene (C60) as acceptor. We find that photocurrent generation occurs at the in ...

DC performance, AC loss and transient field stability of five medium size NbTi cable-in-conduit conductors with parametric variations

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Boris Stepanov, Rainer Wesche, Martin Vogel

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 ...

Reconstruction of current unbalance in full-size ITER NbTiCICC by self-field measurements

Boris Stepanov

Methods have been developed to study the distribution of the transport current among the strand bundles of cable-in-conduit conductors (CICC) by using self-field measurements with Hall probe arrays. The unbalance in the transport current is mainly caused b ...

Unbalanced DC-link voltage regulation in a back-to-back 3-level PWM converter for a doubly-fed induction motor/generator.

Jean-Jacques Simond, André Hodder, Alexander Schwery

An unbalanced DC-link voltage regulation strategy is proposed for a three-level voltage source inverter used in the rotor cascade of a double-fed asynchronous motor-generator. The major problem in determining the presence of the unbalanced component is inv ...

JORDI, a test facility for measurement of contact resistance distribution in full-size conductor terminations

Pierluigi Bruzzone

A new test facility, dedicated to the measurement of contact resistance distribution in full-size conductor termination, has been designed and manufactured at CRPP Fusion Technology in Villigen, Switzerland. The facility will be used to characterize and qu ...

Impact of impressed current unbalance on n-index

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Boris Stepanov, Martin Vogel

Three subsize NbTi cable-in-conduit conductors have been tested in SULTAN test facility. The conductors are identical in the cable layout but they are different in transverse resistance: either SnAg strand coating without wraps, or Ni strand coating withou ...

Effects of electrical leakage currents on MEMS reliability and performance

Herbert Shea, Shan Jin

Electrostatically driven MEMS devices commonly operate with electric fields as high at 108 V/m applied across the dielectric between electrodes. Even with the best mechanical design, the electrical design of these devices has a large impact both on perform ...

A novel all-fibre configuration for a flexible polarimetric current sensor

Luc Thévenaz, Dario Alasia

In this paper a polarimetric fibre-optics current sensor in a new highly versatile all-fibre configuration is described. The optical configuration is particularly simple and is based on a back-and-forth propagation through a twisted sensing fibre. This res ...

Influence of surge arresters on the statistical evaluation of lightning performance of distribution lines

Mario Paolone

The statistical assessment of the lightning-performances of distribution lines must take into account the presence of protection devices such as surge arresters and shielding wire/neutral groundings. Indeed, the presence of those devices does modify the in ...

Recent results from R&D on superconductors at CRPP

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Boris Stepanov, Rainer Wesche, Martin Vogel

Prototype conductors for the ITER magnets have been tested extensively in the SULTAN facility at CRPP in the last decade. The in-depth characterization of the high current carrying conductors provided a valuable feedback in the design, with performance opt ...
