TEAMER: Advanced Wave-to-Wire OWC model in WEC-Sim
공공데이터포털
Accurate numerical models are crucial for the development of wave energy converter (WEC) technologies, providing the means for power production and lifetime assessment, site selection, and design of mooring lines, PTO systems and controllers, among other aspects. This project aims at developing a wave-to-wire (w2w) numerical model for floating oscillating water column (OWC) devices based upon the Wave Energy Converter SIMulator (WEC-Sim) platform. To that end, nonlinear hydrodynamics, considering viscous and nonlinear Froude-Krylov effects were implemented, and new capabilities were articulated into the WEC-Sim platform, incorporating thermos-aerodynamic effects for the air-turbine. For this submission, a numerical model of a wave-to-wire controller was developed, and its efficiency and performance tested numerically. In addition to this, a mooring system was also included in the numerical model. The hydrodynamic coefficients for the OWC were calculated using different numerical solvers: ANSYS, WAMIT, Capyatine, and NEMOH. Additionally, two distinct contrasting modeling approaches were tested and the resulting data included. In the first approach, the WEC's main structure and the OWC are modeled as separate entities. In the second, the WEC and OWC are considered a single body, with the free surface of the oscillating water column added as an extra degree of freedom. Nonlinear hydrodynamic effects, including viscosity and nonlinear Froude-Krylov forces, are incorporated to assess their impact on the numerical analysis of OWC systems.

공공데이터포털
The primary objective of this project is to develop a three-blade MHK rotor with low manufacturing and maintenance costs. The proposed program will design, fabricate and test a novel half-scale low cost, net shape fabricated single piece three-blade MHK rotor with integrated health management technology to demonstrate significant Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) and Operational Expenditures (OPEX) cost reductions due to the novel design and manufacturing process. The proposed project is divided into three major tasks: Task 1: Single Piece Three-blade Kinetic Hydropower System (KHPS) Rotor Full-Scale and Half-Scale Design; Task 2: Composite Manufacturing Trials and Half-Scale Prototype Rotor Fabrication; and Task 3: Material Characterization and Half-Scale Prototype Test and Evaluation. These three tasks include design and analysis of full-scale and half-scale three-blade rotor prototypes using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite-element analysis (FEA), demonstration of a novel half-scale net shape fabrication process, determination of a fatigue threshold composite strain allowable, three-blade rotor mold design, manufacture of half-scale rotor clam shell mold, three-blade rotor test fixture design and fabrication, development of final manufacturing and test plans, manufacture of the half-scale net shape composite single blade and three-blade prototypes, and test and evaluation of the half-scale rotor.

A monolithic bulk acoustic wave (BAW) duplexer, and a method for fabricating same, the duplexer having a transmitter section as a first component filter and a receiver section as a second component filter, both component filters fabricated on a single substrate and both including at least one shunt BAW resonator and one series BAW resonator, each BAW resonator including a resonator section atop an isolation structure provided so as to separate the resonator section from the substrate, including: a patterned bottom electrode material for use as the bottom electrode of each of the resonators of the duplexer; a patterned piezoelectric material for use as the piezolayer of each of the resonators of the duplexer; a patterned top electrode material for use as the top electrode of each of the resonators of the duplexer; a tuning layer for the shunt resonator of each of the two component duplexer filters; and a tuning layer for both the series and shunt resonators of one of the two component duplexer filters. In some applications, each isolation structure is an acoustic mirror. Also in some applications, the duplexer further includes at least one planar spiral inductor provided in the course of depositing one or another layer of material in building up the duplexer, the planar spiral inductor having coils spiraling outward substantially in a plane from an innermost coil to an outermost coil.
Data for the article " Pseudo-resonant Detection of `Low Frequency' VHF Electric Fields via Rabi Matching with Autler-Townes Splitting in Rydberg Atoms"
공공데이터포털
This dataset represents absorption/transmission spectra of resonant probe light power through a Rydberg atom vapor, subject to a simultaneous dressing field and a 'low frequency' field. Data is taken as an oscilloscope average of 5 photodiode voltage traces, with frequency offsets given by a simultaneous reference cell (not included). Some data are given as 2-D arrays, with axes of laser detuning across a waterfall of field strength. Some data represents theory eigen-energies of the system, for comparison. This paper will be submitted to Physical Review Letters.
TEAMER: Tidal Turbine Test, Downeast Turbines, July 12, 2021
공공데이터포털
Downeast Turbines tested a tidal turbine prototype with novel rotor/channel system and lateral effluent discharge apparatus (LEDA), during five days of testing in the flume at Alden Lab. Three days of testing (July 12-14, 2021) focused on turbine power metrics of torque and rpm, which were low, and then two days of follow-up testing (July 27-28, 2021) focused on LEDA performance metrics of pressure differential and rates of volumetric flow, with encouraging results. Next step is to to characterize, and even optimize, configurations of the LEDA, using 3D-CFD as a helpful tool, to refine its shape and explore its limits of performance as a means of effluent discharge that augments performance of an instream turbine. An improved configuration of the LEDA will be re-combined with the rotor/channel system of the turbine prototype, and ultimately, the rotor will be re-sized (enlarged), to better match the LEDA's performance capabilities in drawing through a rate of volumetric flow.
