Misalignment issues of the PWPT system have been addressed. The intercell power transformer has been introduced in order to improve load sharing of the system during a mismatch of the primary single-phase coil and the secondary multi-phase coils.
An ORNL invention proposes using 3D printing to make conductors with space-filling thin-wall cross sections. Space-filling thin-wall profiles will maximize the conductor volume while restricting the path for eddy currents induction.
The invention is related to the implementation of an bi-directional and isolated electric vehicle charger. The bidirectionality allows the electric vehicles to support the grid in case of disturbances thereby reducing the stress on the existing infrastructure.
Real-time tracking and monitoring of radioactive/nuclear materials during transportation is a critical need to ensure safety and security. Current technologies rely on simple tagging, using sensors attached to transport containers, but they have limitations.
Additively manufacturing of the windings with a conductor distributed in the cross-section according to the Hilbert curve provides many benefits as it allows for the reduction of the high-frequency losses due to the reduction of the effective winding conductor size.
The disclosed technologies are directed to the smart control of a system that integrates underground TES into geothermal heat pumps.
