Precise determination of the low-energy electronuclear Hamiltonian of LiY1-xHoxF4

Sandrine Gerber, Gabriel Aeppli, Michael Müller

The insulating rare-earth magnet LiY1-xHoxF4 has received great attention because a laboratory field applied perpendicular to its crystallographic c axis converts the low-energy electronic spin Hamiltonian into the (dilute) transverse field Ising model. Th ...

The instrument suite of the European Spallation Source

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Paul Gregory Freeman, Markus Strobl, Ursula Bengaard Hansen, Michael Müller

An overview is provided of the 15 neutron beam instruments making up the initial instrument suite of the European Spallation Source (ESS), and being made available to the neutron user community. The ESS neutron source consists of a high-power accelerator a ...

Flow field in a reservoir subject to pumped-storage operation - in situ measurement and numerical modeling

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Michael Müller

In pumped-storage reservoirs, turbulent kinetic energy input from plant operation can be considerably high. Flow velocities were measured by Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers near the intake/outlet structure to describe flow patterns induced by pumped-sto ...

Experiments on the effect of inflow and outflow sequences on suspended sediment exchange rates

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Michael Müller

In laboratory experiments, the influence of inflow and outflow sequences on the behavior of fine sediment was investigated. The experimental set-up consisted of two interconnected rectangular basins, between which water was moved back and forth. Suspended ...

Continuous Long-Term Observation of Suspended Sediment Transport between Two Pumped-Storage Reservoirs

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Michael Müller

Transport of suspended sediment between the two reservoirs of a pumped-storage plant in Switzerland was monitored over an 8-month period. A turbidity probe was installed on the upstream end of the pressure shaft, in which real-time monitoring was ensured b ...

Flow restoration in Alpine streams affected by hydropower operations—a case study for a compensation basin

Anton Schleiss, Martin Peter Bieri, Michael Müller

Hydropeaking, resulting from rapid starting and shut-down of turbines, is one of the major hydrological alterations in Alpine streams. The upper Aare River basin in Switzerland comprises a complex high-head storage hydropower scheme. The significant turbin ...

Influence of pumped-storage operation on reservoir sedimentation

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Michael Müller

In Europe, renewable energy sources are rapidly growing but are often linked to a highly volatile production, as for solar and wind energy. Pumped-storage plants have become very important since they can ensure grid stability and safe power supply at any m ...

Influence of in- and outflow sequences on flow patterns and suspended sediment behavior in reservoirs

Michael Müller

Reservoir sedimentation and the resulting storage losses impact reliability, efficiency, safety and thus the sustainability of the hydropower schemes. Beside traditional storage hydropower plants, also pumped-storage facilities are affected. Flexible turbi ...
