Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are a promising photovoltaic technology but their performance remains limited by incomplete absorption of incident photons, primarily due to reflection at the transparent front electrode [1]. To address this issue, interface engineering with graphene-based ... En savoir plus

Design of the electromagnetic system requires a procedure where certain parameters need to be maximized under constraints placed on its dimensions. Optimization routines that can maximize the function value under given constraints are required. Design of such systems coupled with the ... En savoir plus

Our customer LeydenJar Technologies creates the world’s most energy dense battery anodes, enabling Li-ion batteries that are powerful, small and fast charging. Prime examples of applications include electronic devices and e-mobility. The anodes are made of silicon, and are produced with ... En savoir plus

Current transformers are used to measure currents in power grid systems. They are characterized by strong interactions between external electrical sources and loads respectively and the magnetic subsystem. Self-heating due to losses has to be considered because of the temperature ... En savoir plus

This paper presents a snap shot of experimental work, which has been conducted at NTNU on billet heating with induction coils. A significant volume of experimental data have been collected for coils running with up to 0.2T: high accuracy Hall probe readings (+/-1%), metal ... En savoir plus

There are over 10 million kilometers of pipes and pipelines around the world that carry hazardous fluids and gases. Fluids include oil, oil products, chemicals such as solvents, caustics, acids, corrosives and combustibles often at high pressure and temperature. These pipes are ... En savoir plus

Absorber tubes are one of the most critical components of parabolic trough Concentrated Solar Plants, which is very likely get damaged such as crack and mass loss. Therefore, the monitoring of their structural health via Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) techniques is regarded as essential ... En savoir plus

Induction heating (IH) [1] is a good candidate for decarbonization of chemical processes: energy savings, process intensification and production costs reduction [2-5]. Heat can be generated directly into the reactor at the surface in contact with the gas flux passing through a specific ... En savoir plus

Balises are an essential part of pointwise train control systems ensuring the operational safety. Combined with a corresponding onboard unit, it represents an inductive transponder system (Fig. 1). During a crossing, the balise is activated by the 27 MHz magnetic field of the vehicle ... En savoir plus

In the nuclear industry, and particularly at Framatome, mastery of welding processes is essential. Framatome is one of the world leaders in this field and wants to improve even more. The work presented focuses on improving the TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding process, and more ... En savoir plus
