Subcell Coupling in Tandem Solar Cells: Measurements and Modeling

Closely stacking two or more photovoltaic (PV) subcells together to form tandem solar cells inevitably results in subcell coupling that is important to understand. Here we describe how this coupling can be modeled and characterized for two-, three-, and four-terminal tandems (hereafter 2T, 3T or 4T).

Multi-level inverter with mixed device types

Provided is a novel multi-level inverter with mixed device types and methods of controlling same. This novel multi-level inverter topology and control method allows the use of high frequency switching devices for controlled PWM switching, while also using lower frequency switching devices for directional switches. This combination of high frequency PWM switching devices with low frequency directional switching devices allows a cost reduction without a significant performance degradation.

Development of The DOME Shield Model For The NRIC Virtual Test Bed

As several advanced reactor concepts are maturing, test beds are needed to accelerate the demonstration and deployment of these advanced nuclear technologies. The National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC) is building new or enhancing existing US Department of Energy infrastructure to support testing of components and systems. Demonstration of Microreactor Experiments (DOME) will utilize the Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II) dome containment structure to host reactor demonstrations. A reactor supplemental shielding is needed so that DOME dose requirements are met. To accelerate the confirmatory analysis required for the reactor demonstration, the NRIC Virtual Test Bed (VTB) is developing a virtual model of the DOME shield that will be made available on the VTB public repository. This will allow developers to leverage advanced modeling and simulation tools to ensure their reactor demonstration concept will meet dose requirement and the limit concrete temperature in the shield during steady state and transient operation conditions. This paper presents the model developed for the DOME shield using open-source tools: MOOSE heat transfer module, Monte Carlo code OpenMC, and Cardinal to calculate the DOME shield temperature distribution during steady state
