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.
This technology can help to increase number of application areas of Wireless Power Transfer systems. It can be applied to consumer electronics, defense industry, automotive industry etc.
ORNL has developed a large area thermal neutron detector based on 6LiF/ZnS(Ag) scintillator coupled with wavelength shifting fibers. The detector uses resistive charge divider-based position encoding.
Faults in the power grid cause many problems that can result in catastrophic failures. Real-time fault detection in the power grid system is crucial to sustain the power systems' reliability, stability, and quality.
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.
Electrical utility substations are wired with intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), such as protective relays, power meters, and communication switches.
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.
