Evaluation of Composite Structural Materials for Heliostat Cost Reduction

Structures manufactured from steel comprise up to 40% of a CSP heliostat's cost. Composite structures represent a potential opportunity to reduce this cost. A reference heliostat structural model has been created with a reflector area of 25m 2 . The design, constructed of low-carbon steel, pro-vides baseline deflection and stiffness under a 21 m/s operating wind speeds. Wind loads on the tracker structure are determined for both operating and stow conditions. An established roster of suitable metal alternative materials is considered including: glass, basalt, and carbon reinforced polymer (GFRP, BFRP, and CFRP respectively). Three heliostat components are investigated: the pylon, torque tube, and the purlin-strut assembly. Composite material properties are substituted for those of steel, and the beams are re-sized to match the original steel components' deflection under given wind loads. Weight and cost changes resulting from this resizing are evaluated. It is found that GFRP and BFRP represent a 3X–6X cost premium for the same operating deflection character-istics as steel across all three investigated component classes; with weight reduction only achieved for the purlin-strut assembly. While CFRP components can achieve approximately 25–75% weight savings depending on the application, this comes with a 9X–14X cost increase over the steel base-line for tube-type structures and roughly 5X cost increase when replacing c-channel structures. This work does not rule out the possibility of cost savings when the heliostat design and kinematics to take advantage of composites' specific properties.

Power Electronic Development Challenges for High Power Density Integrated Electric Drive Applications

The ever-increasing demand for compact, efficient, and high-performance traction drive systems for transportation applications has accelerated the development of integrated electric drives. In these systems, the electric machine and inverter are integrated within a single housing, offering significant advantages in electrical performance, volume, weight, cost, and overall system efficiency. Despite these benefits, such high levels of integration introduce a new set of challenges, particularly in power electronic design and component selection. This article presents an in-depth investigation of a highly integrated electric drive architecture with an internal stator-mounted inverter, highlighting key design considerations and trade-offs aimed exclusively at maximizing system power density.Based on a comprehensive review of the literature, the power density of a voltage-source-inverter-driven electric drive is primarily governed by the volumetric contributions of the power modules, heat sinks, and DC-link capacitors. Accordingly, this work focuses on the optimization of these three critical components to enhance the inverter's overall power density. The proposed design achieves a power density of 100 kW/L, demonstrating the effectiveness of the presented approach for next-generation integrated electric drive systems.

Langevin dynamics of generalized spins as SU( N ) coherent states

Classical models of spin systems traditionally retain only the dipole moments, but a quantum spin state will frequently have additional structure. Spins of magnitude S have N = 2⁢S + 1 levels. Alternatively, the spin state is fully characterized by a set of N 2 - 1 local physical observables, which we interpret as generalized spin components. For example, a spin with S = 1 has three dipole components and five quadrupole components. Further, these components evolve under a generalization of the classical Landau-Lifshitz dynamics, which can be extended with noise and damping terms. In this paper, we reformulate the dynamical equations of motion as a Langevin dynamics of SU(N) coherent states in the Schrödinger picture. This viewpoint is especially useful as the basis for an efficient numerical method to sample spin configurations in thermal equilibrium and to simulate the relaxation and driven motion of topological solitons. To illustrate the approach, we simulate a nonequilibrium relaxation process that creates CP 2 skyrmions, which are topological defects with both dipole and quadrupole character.

Multi-Axis Resonant Plate Shock Testing Evaluation and Test Specification Development

Resonant plate testing is a shock test method that is frequently used to simulate pyroshock events in the laboratory. Recently, it was discovered that if the unit under test is installed at an off-center location, a tri-axial accelerometer would record a shock response in three directions and the resulting shock response spectra implied that the test may have qualified the component in three directions simultaneously. The purpose of this research project was to evaluate this idea of multi-axis shock testing to determine if it was truly a multi-axis shock environment and if such a test could be used as an equivalent component qualification test. A study was conducted using generic, additively manufactured components tested on a resonant plate, along with an investigation of plate motion to evaluate the component response to off- center plate excitation. The data obtained here along with the analytical simulations performed indicate that off-center resonant plate tests are actually not three-axis shock tests, but rather single axis shocks at an arbitrary angle dictated by the location of the unit under test on the plate. This conclusion is supported by the fact that only one vectored shock input is provided to the component in a resonant plate test. Thus, the output response is a coupled response of the transverse plate vibration and the rotational motion of the component on the plate. Additionally, a multi-axis shock test defined by three single axis test environments always results in a significant component over-test in one direction.

Automated tracking of prefabricated components for areal-time evaluator to optimize and automateinstallation

Trade associations for prefabricated construction estimate that about 50% of prefabricated wall projects have alignment problems that lead to defects and rework. Additionally, component installation times average between 30 and 60 minutes per component. To address these issues, a real-time evaluator (RTE) system was introduced to decrease cost and automate prefabricated component installation by reducing the installation time, decreasing rework, and enhancing energy performance through higher installation quality. The RTE uses commonly available hardware and software to perform autonomous tracking to measure the real-time location and orientation of components as they are crane-lifted and installed. The hardware, software, and algorithms that allow the autonomous tracking of components are detailed. An algorithm to automate the initial search for a component with three attached retroreflectors is proposed. Algorithms to automate the measurement of component position and orientation are also proposed. Simple lab-scale proof-of-concept experiments were conducted to assess the algorithms for automation of component searching, measurement of real-time movement, and measurement of component orientation. With additional development, the system can be used as a tool to generate the commands for autonomous crane operation or single-task construction robots.

Instabilities of a vortex-ring-bright soliton in trapped binary three-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates

Instabilities of vortex-ring-bright coherent structures in harmonically trapped two-component three-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates are studied numerically within the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations and interpreted analytically. Interestingly, the filled vortex core with a sufficiently large amount of the bright component is observed to reduce the parametric interval of stability of the vortex ring. Here, we have identified the mechanisms of several linear instabilities and one nonlinear parametric instability in this connection. Two of the linear instabilities are qualitatively different from ones reported earlier and are associated with azimuthal modes of m = 0 and m = 1, i.e., deviations of the vortex from the stationary ring shape. Our nonlinear parametric resonance instability occurs between the m = 0 and m = 2 modes and signals the exchange of energy between them.

Structure of the antenna complex expressed during far-red light photoacclimation in Synechococcus sp. PCC 7335

Far-red light photoacclimation, or FaRLiP, is a facultative response exhibited by some cyanobacteria that allows them to absorb and utilize lower energy light (700–800 nm) than the wavelengths typically used for oxygenic photosynthesis (400–700 nm). During this process, three essential components of the photosynthetic apparatus are altered: photosystem I, photosystem II, and the phycobilisome. In all three cases, at least some of the chromophores found in these pigment–protein complexes are replaced by chromophores that have red-shifted absorbance relative to the analogous complexes produced in visible light. Recent structural and spectroscopic studies have elucidated important features of the two photosystems when altered to absorb and utilize far-red light, but much less is understood about the modified phycobiliproteins made during FaRLiP. We used single-particle, cryo-EM to determine the molecular structure of a phycobiliprotein core complex comprising allophycocyanin variants that absorb far-red light during FaRLiP in the marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7335. The structure reveals the arrangement of the numerous red-shifted allophycocyanin variants and the probable locations of the chromophores that serve as the terminal emitters in this complex. It also suggests how energy is transferred to the photosystem II complexes produced during FaRLiP. The structure additionally allows comparisons with other previously studied allophycocyanins to gain insights into how phycocyanobilin chromophores can be tuned to absorb far-red light. These studies provide new insights into how far-red light is harvested and utilized during FaRLiP, a widespread cyanobacterial photoacclimation mechanism.

Digital Twin of an ANPC inverter with integrated Design-For-Trust

Reducing costs and increasing manufacturing output while creating reliable products are three essential components needed to keep a business competitive. In the past, having an asset that could address these three challenges at the same time would be challenging. However, recent advances in computer processing capabilities coupled with increases to network speeds allowed such a system to become possible; and this is known as a Digital Twin (DT), which represents a virtual copy of a production system or a product. Here, this work exhibits a DT application of an Active Neutral Point Clamped (ANPC) inverter using a controller. The controller emulates the ANPC responses of a new Digital Signal Processing (DSP) firmware and validates this new firmware by using Design-For-Trust (DFTr) characteristics. If the new firmware is malicious, then it should be rejected, thus adding preemptive protection measures for inverter based distributed energy resources.

Intrinsic chemical reactivity of solid-electrolyte interphase components in silicon–lithium alloy anode batteries probed by FTIR spectroscopy

Herein we report the solid reaction products from the chemical reaction of aprotic battery electrolyte and three purported components of the Si-based anode SEI : SiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs), lithium silicate (Li x SiO y ) powders, and Si NPs. We use FTIR and classical molecular dynamics/density functional perturbation theory to assess the solid products remaining with these model materials after exposure to electrolyte. The absence of electrochemical bias provides a view of the chemical speciation resulting from early-stage chemical reactivity during battery assembly as well as under open circuit storage conditions. We believe these species represent the initial stages of SEI growth and predict they likely drive subsequent chemical and electrochemical reactions by controlling molecular interactons at the Si active material interface. We find that nominally equivalent materials react differently even before any electrochemistry is performed (e.g., acidic SiO 2 dissolves whereas alkaline SiO 2 is relatively robust), and derive new understanding of the chemical species that could and could not form stable SEI components in Si-based anodes. These results can be used to inform how to passivate Si anode surfaces and potentially generate an artificially engineered SEI that would be stable and enable next-generation battery anodes.

Low-Cost Aero Technology Demonstrations

The main focus of this work was to demonstrate the use of polymeric additive manufacturing (AM) to create tooling for both preforming and consolidation. Polymeric tooling was utilized where both modest and higher pressures are used for part consolidation. The key focus for the AM tooling development was for fabrication of complex structures such as ducting, C-channel stiffened skins, and airfoils where conventional male tooling would typically be trapped in the cured part. The AM tooling was evaluated for use as a tool master used to fabricate and re-shape deformable/re-formable mandrels based on SpinTech’s shape memory composite technology known as Smart Tooling. The AM tooling was also evaluated for use as a mold for composite infusion and consolidation. Key performance parameters were tracked for project schedule completion with each step comprising of “art to part” cycle time, cost, and model fidelity for dimensions, performance, and cost. The primary focus of this demonstration was to determine if a 50% cost reduction was achievable, for each AM tooling-set, as compared to conventional processes. UDRI leveraged project partner SpinTech, who manufactures tools and parts in these categories and thus provided a baseline regarding current best practices and provided valuable feedback during the entirety of this demonstration. This demonstration primarily focused on the use of AM tooling for fabrication of three composite component structures which are typically utilized in aircraft and comprise salient geometric features of broad interest. These components are often tooling intensive and have features requiring extraction of male tools which are usually trapped by the geometry. The three structures selected by the team included: 1) A one-piece airfoil shell comprised of compound contours where male tooling would be trapped unless the part were manufactured in two halves as is typically the case. 2) A one-piece duct used for air handling, comprised of compound contours where male tooling would be trapped unless the part were manufactured in two halves, or a washout mandrel were to be used. 3) A co-cured C-channel stiffened skin where typically C-channels would be individually manufactured and then bonded to a cured skin. The demonstration was comprised of three main tasks: • Task 1: AM Tool Feasibility Study – ensure the AM tooling meets the performance requirements as specified by SpinTech to match baseline performance. • Task 2: Complex Tool Demonstration – Fabricate tooling, preforms, and parts representative of an airfoil and duct. • Task 3: Large Aerostructure Fabrication Demonstration – Fabricate tooling, preforms, and part representative of a C-channel stiffened skin. With the conclusion of this project, a decision tree was developed to determine the key considerations necessary to determine if use of AM tooling for the three selected structures was able to attain the same quality as historically achieved on metallic tooling, while providing a significant cost reduction.

Time-variable Radio Recombination Line Emission in W49A

We present new Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) images of the central region of the W49A star-forming region at 3.6 cm and at 7 mm at resolutions of 0.″15 (1650 au) and 0.″04 (440 au), respectively. The 3.6 cm data reveal new morphological detail in the ultracompact H ii region population, as well as several previously unknown and unresolved sources. In particular, source A shows elongated, edge-brightened bipolar lobes, indicative of a collimated outflow, and source E is resolved into three spherical components. We also present VLA observations of radio recombination lines at 3.6 cm and 7 mm, and IRAM Northern Extended Millimeter Array (NOEMA) observations at 1.2 mm. Three of the smallest ultracompact H ii regions (sources A, B2, and G2) all show broad kinematic linewidths, with ΔV {sub FWHM} ≳ 40 km s{sup −1}. A multi-line analysis indicates that broad linewidths remain after correcting for pressure broadening effects, suggesting the presence of supersonic flows. Substantial changes in linewidth over the 21 yr time baseline at both 3.6 cm and 7 mm are found for source G2. At 3.6 cm, the linewidth of G2 changed from 31.7 ± 1.8 km s{sup −1} to 55.6 ± 2.7 km s{sup −1}, an increase of +23.9 ± 3.4 km s{sup −1}. The G2 source was previously reported to have shown a 3.6 cm continuum flux density decrease of 40% between 1994 and 2015. This source sits near the center of a very young bipolar outflow whose variability may have produced these changes.

Kinetic Plasma Simulation in the MOOSE Framework: Verification of Electrostatic Particle In Cell Capabilities

In magnetic confinement nuclear fusion reactors, the interaction between the plasma edge and plasma facing components is extremely important. At the plasma edge, a kinetic representation such as particle-in-cell (rather than a fluid representation) is required to accurately capture the plasma behavior. General purpose particle-in-cell plasma simulation capabilities have been developed in the Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE) framework. This new capability is a part of the development of a new MOOSE-based framework for modeling plasma facing components, the Fusion ENergy Integrated multiphys-X (FENIX) framework. In this work, the verification of foundational particle-in-cell capabilities in FENIX is presented. This new plasma simulation capability has three main components: moving particles in discrete steps on the finite element mesh, mapping charge density from the particle's location to the finite element mesh, and solving for the electrostatic potential based on the charge density mapped from particles to the mesh. In this paper, simple verification problems demonstrating each of these new capabilities are presented, and future work includes electromagnetic capabilities and Monte Carlo collisions with neutral gas particles.

Preprocessing of municipal solid waste towards thermal insulating material

Municipal solid waste (MSW) is one of the significant challenges in today’s world. A continuous surge in population, increasing living standards, and rapid urbanization are generating an enormous quantity of MSW. For example, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reported that the total generation of MSW in the United States in 2018 was 292.4 million tons. Improper management of this MSW often leads to the release of greenhouse gases, emission of particulate matters, and formation of dioxins, which all ultimately contributes to climate change. Recycling these wastes via landfills with gas recovery and/or energy and material production via thermal and chemical conversions could be viable options to manage these challenges. Depending on the inherent chemical and structural properties of unrecycled wastes, the carbon structures can be tailored for processing and reuse in manufacturing of structural composites, building materials such as insulation, carbon dense reactant materials such as activated carbon, and so on. According to the EPA’s estimation, MSW in the United States is approximately 23% paper and paperboard, 12% plastics, 6% wood and 6% is textiles. Thus, this research focused on the feasibility of using the MSW as insulation material for the construction sector. The goal of this work was to determine the range of particle sizes, consolidation ratios, and component blends that can achieve insulation R-values within at least 70% that of traditional blown cellulose fiber. To achieve this goal, we designed the testing matrix based on five different component blends, three different particle sizes, and three different compaction level. An American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) method (C-739) was used to measure the R-value of the insulation material. Results showed that, adding more paper component in addition to smaller particle size and loose compaction made the insulation similar to the traditional blown cellulose fiber insulation as the R-value was within a range of 2.5-3.0 per inch.

Nonlinear Logistic Regression Mixture Experiment Modeling for Binary Data Using Dimensionally Reduced Components

This article presents and illustrates an approach using nonlinear logistic regression for modeling binary response data from a mixture experiment when the components can be partitioned into groups used to form dimensionally-reduced pseudocomponents (DRPs). A DRP is a linear combination of the components in a group, where the linear combinations over all groups are normalized so that the DRP proportions sum to unity. Nonlinear logistic regression is required because, after normalization of the linear combinations, the model expressed in terms of the DRPs is nonlinear in the parameters that specify the linear combinations. A method for obtaining nonparametric tolerance limits on the probability of a “success” for the binary response variable using a bootstrap approach is also presented. Having three DRPs enables viewing data and modeling results on a ternary plot even though there may be many more than three mixture components. A real database, involving whether or not nepheline crystals form in simulated nuclear waste glass after cooling, is used to illustrate the nonlinear logistic regression modeling and nonparametric tolerance limit approaches when there are three DRPs.

Metal-to-Ceramic Joining Methods to Support Development of Advanced Ceramic-Based CSP Components

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Missouri University of Science and Technology (MS&T), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and Colorado School of Mines (CSM) collaborated to design, develop, and test a material concept at bench scale which will be used to achieve a ceramic-to-metal (C2M) joint between a selected metal HTF loop material and a selected ceramic material used by the Gen3 CSP technology pathway. The final joint assembly will need to possess sufficient mechanical properties to withstand static high-temperature (650 degrees-700 degrees C) and high-pressure (20 MPa) and thermal cycling (between 650 degrees C and 100 degrees C) conditions. The material concept consists of three key components: (1) a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) that serves as a compliant transition material aiming to mitigate the stresses due to the mismatch of coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) from a direct ceramic-to-metal joint, (2) a metal-end joint utilizing a multi-principal element alloy (MPEA) with changing percentage of particle loading to bond the candidate metal to the CMC, and (3) a ceramic-end joint utilizing a glass ceramic to bond the candidate ceramic to the CMC.

Automation of FARM from Alpha Phase to Beta Phase

Integrated energy systems (IES) combine different energy technologies in synergistic ways to achieve a more secure and economical energy supply. The RAVEN-based HYBRID framework and the RAVEN plugin for grid and capacity optimization (HERON) are used to find the optimal installed capacity and the optimal economical dispatch of each component of the IES, by respecting the limits on the production variables and the corresponding rates of variation (explicit constraints). Besides, there are other process variables whose evolution needs to be bounded to avoid damaging the components (e.g., condensers, heat exchangers, steam generators, etc.) or degrading the process efficiency (e.g., electrolysis in the hydrogen production process). To avoid violating these latter limits (implicit constraints), a proof-of-concept HERON validator based on Feasible Actuator Range Modifier (FARM-Alpha) was developed by Argonne National Laboratory in January 2021. This FARM-Alpha validator calculates the evolution of process variables on whom the implicit constraints are placed, and then provides feedback to HERON dispatcher to adjust the power setpoints of three IES components, i.e., Balance of Plant, Secondary Energy Source, and Thermal Energy Storage, so as to meet both the explicit and implicit constraints. FARM-Alpha was designed to assess the performance of FARM as a HERON validator only, i.e., the list of components and implicit operational constraints were hard-coded within the source code. The lack of flexibility of the corresponding software structure does not allow the deployment in production environment. This report describes the development and the implementation of an enhanced version of the FARM-based validator (FARM-Beta), which ensures more flexibility for the end user in modeling multiple IES configurations and scenarios. Several test cases of the power dispatch problem were then selected to demonstrate the capabilities offered by FARM-beta. The test cases illustrate the efficiency of the closed-loop optimization scheme and the capability to calculate set-point trajectories satisfying both explicit and implicit constraints.

Model, data, and code for paper "Modeling of streamflow in a 30-kilometer-long reach spanning 5 years using OpenFOAM 5.x"

The data package includes data, model, and code that support the analyses and conclusions in the paper titled “modeling of streamflow in a 30-kilometer-long reach spanning 5 years using OpenFOAM 5.x”. The primary goal of this paper is to demonstrate that key streamflow properties such as water depth, flow velocity, and dynamic pressure in a natural river at 30-kilometer scale over 5 years can be reliably and efficiently modeled using the computational framework presented in this paper. To support the paper, various data types from remote sensing, field observations, and computational models are used. Specific details are described as follows. Firstly, the river bathymetry data was obtained from a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) survey. This data is then converted to a triangulated surface format, STL, for mesh generation in OpenFOAM. The STL data can be found in Model_Setups/BaseCase_2013To2015/constant/triSurface. The OpenFOAM mesh generated using this STL file can be found in constant/polyMesh. Other model setups, boundary and initial conditions can be found in /system and /0.org under folder BaseCase_2013To2015. A similar data structure can also be found in BaseCase_2018To2019 for the simulations during 2018 and 2019. Secondly, the OpenFOAM simulations need the upstream discharge and water depth information at the upstream boundary to drive the model. These data are generated from a one-dimensional hydraulic model and the data can be found under the folder Model_Setups /1D model Mass1 data. The mass1_65.csv and mass1_191.csv files include the results of the 1D model at the model inlet and outlet, respectively. The Matlab source code Mass1ToOFBC20182019.m is used to convert these data into OpenFOAM boundary condition setups.With the above OpenFOAM model, it can generate data for water surface elevation, flow velocity, and dynamic pressure. In this paper, the water surface elevation was measured at 7 locations during different periods between 2011 and 2019. The exact survey locations (see Fig1_SurveyLocations.txt) can be found in folder Fig_1. The variation of water stage over time at the 7 locations can be found in folder /Observation_WSE. The data type include .txt, .csv, .xlsx, and .mat. The .mat data can be loaded by Matlab.We also measured the flow velocities at 12 cross-sections along the river. At each cross-section, we recorded the x, y locations, depth, three velocity components u,v,w. These data are saved to a Matlab format which can be found under folder /Observation_Velocity and /Fig_1. The relative locations of velocity survey locations to the river bathymetry can be found in Figure 1c.The water stage data at the 7 locations from OpenFOAM, 1D, and 2D hydraulic models are also provided to evaluate the long-term performance of 3D models vs 1D/2D models. The water stage data for the 7 locations from OpenFOAM have been saved to .mat format and can be found in /OpenFOAM_WSE. The water stage data from the 1D model are saved in .csv format and can be found in /Mass1_WSE. The water stage from the 2D model is saved as .mat format and can be found in / Mass2_WSEIn addition, the OpenFOAM model outputs the information of hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressure. They are saved as .mat format under folder /Fig_11/2013_1. As the files are too large, we only uploaded the data for January 2013. The area of different ratio of dynamic pressure to static pressure for all simulation range, i.e., 2013-2015, are saved to .mat format. They can be found in /Fig_11/PA. Further, the data of wall clock time versus the solution time of the OpenFOAM modeling are also saved to .mat format under folder /Fig_13/LogsMat. In summary, the data package contains seven data types, including .txt, .csv, .xlsx, .dat, .stl, .m, and .mat. The former 4 types can be directly open using a text editor or Microsoft Office. The .mat format needs to be read by Matlab. The Matlab source code .m files need to be run with Matlab. The OpenFOAM setups can be visualized in ParaView. The .stl file can be opened in ParaView or Blender. The data in subfolders Fig_1 to Fig_10 and Fig_12 are copied from the aforementioned data folders to generate specific figures for the paper. A readME.txt file is included in each subfolder to further describe how the data in each folder are generated and used to support the paper.Please use the data package's DOI to cite the data package.
