Abstract

In automotive electromagnetic (EM) compatibility (EMC), the cable bundle network study is of great importance. Indeed, a cable network links all the electronic equipment interfaces included the critical ones and consequently can be assimilated both to a reception antenna and to an [...]

Abstract

Abstract: Mathematical models may be used for design or evaluation of cathodic protection (CP) systems. This chapter provides a historical perspective and a mathematical framework for the development of such models. The mathematical description accounts for calculation of both [...]

Abstract

Ceramic multi-layer systems are the key components of solid oxide cells (SOC) to be used either for power generation or energy storage. Over the last decades continuous improvement in materials, architecture and manufacturing processes have been achieved to improve performance, durability [...]

Abstract

This paper presents an on-board bidirectional battery charger for Electric Vehicles (EVs), which operates in three different modes: Grid-to- Vehicle (G2V), Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), and Vehicle-to-Home (V2H). Through these three operation modes, using bidirectional communications based [...]

Abstract

The recent and massive investments in Electric Vehicles (EVs) reveal a change of paradigm in the transports sector and the proliferation of EVs will contribute to an effective reduction in the emissions of greenhouse gases. Nevertheless, for the electrical power grids EVs will be [...]

Abstract

Part 17: Power Conversion; International audience; This work is focused on the design of the contactless energy transmitters and testing of their electrical parameters, varying the working frequency in the kHz range. The intended application is related to the possibility to make most [...]

Abstract

In a joint effort with Tuboscope Pipeline Services of Houston, Texas, Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) adapted its nonlinear harmonic (NLH) sensing technology for use on a new in-line inspection system (smart pig). Nonlinear harmonics, an AC magnetic method for detecting local [...]

Abstract

This report covers the design and fabrication of a conformable eddy current array useful for the mapping and measurement of external corrosion on a transmission pipeline. The feasibility of the basic measuring approach was demonstrated and the general guidelines for sensor design [...]

Abstract

This report presents the results of an investigation into two methods of using the natural gas pipeline as a communication medium. The work addressed the need to develop secure system monitoring and control techniques between the field and control centers and to robotic devices in [...]
