Systems Engineering Tutorial with Case Studies

Due to the ever-growing number of complex technical problems facing our world, a Systems Engineering approach is needed to assist in successful design, build and implementation of solutions. The interdisciplinary technical structure of current systems, technical processes representing System Design, Technical Management and Product Realization are instrumental in the development and integration of new technologies into mainstream applications. This tutorial will demonstrate the application of Systems Engineering tools to these types of problems. Learning objectives include, understanding how to develop and engineer a conceptual system; understand the importance of teams, communication, requirements definition, interface control, and focus on deliverables; useful tools and techniques for each aspect of the System Engineering process including Model Based Systems Engineering which will be touched upon lightly. Some hands-on problems will be pursued especially in requirements development which is always key to a successful project. Case studies will be presented to assist in the learning process.

Runtime Verification of Hard Realtime Systems With Copilot: A Tutorial

This presentation is a tutorial on RV using Copilot, a runtime verification framework for real-time embedded systems. Copilot monitors are written in a compositional, stream-based language with support for a variety of Temporal Logics (TL), which results in robust, high-level specifications that are easier to understand than their traditional counterparts. The framework translates monitor specifications into C code with static memory requirements, which can be compiled to run on embedded hardware.

A Tutorial on the Control of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines: Stability Challenges and Opportunities for Power Capture

Climate change is a serious threat facing humanity. The United States (U.S.) and many other countries are increasing the amount of electrical power generated from renewable energy sources in an effort to combat climate change and ensure energy independence. The U.S. has set goals to achieve a 100% decarbonized electric grid by 2035 and a net-zero emissions economy by no later than 2050. Renewable energy currently accounts for about 20% of the U.S. power grid. According to the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), in the U.S. in 2021, wind and solar photovoltaic generation supplied 9.1% and 4% of total electricity generation, respectively, and the latest publicly available data show that hydropower represented 6.6% of all electricity generated in the U.S. in 2019. As wind farms have been built in many of the best wind resource areas on land, the U.S. and many other countries are turning to offshore wind for further growth of wind power capacity. Further, the U.S. has committed to deploy 30 GW of offshore wind by 2030, a significant increase from the 0.04 GW of installed offshore wind in the country as of the end of 2023. Many other countries have also established ambitious goals or plans to increase the amount of installed offshore wind power.

A Tutorial for Using the CGT Script Library to Generate and Assemble Overset Meshes

The purpose of this document is to introduce a new user to the procedures for overset CFD analysis by building scripts based on the CGT Script Library. Parameterized inputs are built into the steps of the process which include creation and manipulation of geometry, and surface and volume meshing. In preparation for performing computations in the flow solver, further steps are constructed for specification of inputs for domain connectivity, flow solver boundary conditions, and components for computation of aerodynamic forces/moments. The JCLV rocket will be used as an example geometry for this demonstration.

ICSBEP Benchmarking Tutorial for DNCSH

As part of the DOE/NRC Collaboration for Criticality Safety Support for Commercial-Scale HALEU for Fuel Cycles and Transportation (DNCSH), a workshop was held on Teams on how to write a ICSBEP benchmark that meets modern standards. The workshop prepared people performing experiments and writing benchmarks so that they have an increased chance of submitting a benchmark that will be accepted. The workshop was led by experts from LANL, LLNL and Sandia.
