A new, simpler power module and manifold design shows lower weight and volume, which allows higher power density compared with current state of the art.
Wind or hydro power are predominantly large-scale with giant generators to convert wind or water captured by turbines into electricity. But residential-sized wind turbines could generate power for a whole house.
There is a strong drive to improve the electrical performance of a power module for power electronics applications including transportation, buildings, renewables, and power delivery.
The ID provides a solution approach for faster chemical processing and carbon functional grading from SiC to MC to provide a tougher carbon and CMC structure.
The solution proposed here is a modified carbon-based tile face that is mechanically combined with an insulative backing. The tile face is based on a material architecture to minimize weight and thermal conductivity while maximizing thermal stability.
Wireless charging systems need to operate at high frequency, at or near resonance, to maximize power transfer distance and efficiency. High voltages appear across the inductors and capacitors. The use of discrete components reduces efficiency, increases system complexity.
This technology aims to provide and integrated and oxidation resistant cladding or coating onto carbon-based composites in seconds.
Silicon nitride fiber is a critical material mainly used in the aerospace industry but has many applications. This fiber is prized for its properties, as it is transparent to electromagnetic radiation but allows signals to go through it.
ORNL has developed a revolutionary system for wirelessly transferring power to electric vehicles and energy storage systems, enabling efficient, contactless charging.
