ReNCAT: The Resilient Node Cluster Analysis Tool

ReNCAT is a software application that suggests microgrid portfolios that reduce the impact of large-scale disruptions to power, as measured by the Social Burden Metric. ReNCAT examines a power distribution network to identify regions that can be isolated into microgrids that enable critical services to be provided even if the remainder of the study area is left without power. ReNCAT operates on a simplified representation of the power grid, one that aggregates and approximates loads and conductors. Microgrids are formed within the power network by setting switch states to split or join portions of the grid. ReNCAT identifies candidate microgrid portfolios with varying tradeoffs between cost and service availability.

Node support input to HydroGEN STCH project quarterly report

n this quarter, we further refined our water splitting (WS) reaction calculations on the surface of SrTi 0.5 Mn 0.5 O 3 . Among various surface configurations for WS imposed by surface orientations, terminations, and neighboring chemical species, we hypothesized that (1) the WS reaction energy should be exothermic and (2) the surface oxygen vacancy formation energy should be in a reasonable range compared to the bulk oxygen vacancy formation energy to be accessible during the reduction and WS reaction conditions.

HydroGEN STCH node support: FY25 Q1 quarterly report – LLNL's input

For reducing the cost of H 2 production by enhancing the efficiency and cyclability of water splitting reactions, we aim to understand the relationship between microstructure and surface reaction performance on perovskite oxides. In this quarter, mesoscale simulations were carried with various 3D porous microstructures to characterize the microstructure-dependent H 2 production. During the water splitting process, incoming gas including steam (H 2 O) passes through porous regions, which can induce local pressure variations according to the Bernoulli’s principle. Accordingly, we developed the mesoscale simulation method to characterize the reaction kinetics with inhomogeneous local pressures within porous microstructures.

Quantized vortices around wavefront nodes, 2

Quantized vortices can occur around nodal points in wavefunctions. The derivation depends only on the wavefunction being single valued, continuous, and having continuous first derivatives. Since the derivation does not depend upon the dynamical equations, the quantized vortices are expected to occur for many types of waves such as electromagnetic and acoustic. Such vortices have appeared in the calculations of the H + H2 molecular collisions and play a role in the chemical kinetics. In a companion paper, it is shown that quantized vortices occur when optical waves are internally reflected from the face of a prism or particle beams are reflected from potential energy barriers.

A failsafe analysis using NASTRAN's piecewise linear analysis and a nine node linear crack element

A two-dimensional crack element was implemented into NASTRAN as a user dummy element and used to study failsafe characteristics of the C5A fuselage. The element is formulated from Reitsner's functional requiring that it satisfy compatability with the linear boundary displacement elements in NASTRAN. Its accuracy is demonstrated by analyzing for the stress intensity factors of two simple crack configurations for which there are classic solutions.
