dried food! How to select specifications and models of overhead insulated cables
LV & MV Aerial Bundle Cable (ABC) Overhead Distribution Lines Application Aerial Bundle Cable (ABC cable) is a very innovative concept for overhead power distribution as compared to the conventional bare conductor overhead distribution system. It provides higher level of safety and reliability, lower power losses and ultimate system economy by reducing installation, maintenance and operative ...

A computational set of tools developed for fluence calculation as support for BWR's surveillance programme
The determination of a neutron source for the RPV fluence calculation is a key factor to detect and prevent degradation of safety–related structures of a NPP. A 3D neutron fluence calculation can be very challenging if all the source details are considered. Several options are possible in order to address the problem, being the most direct the use of 3D transport codes; however, strategies that ...

Neutronic calculation and power maps investigation of PWR critical lattice experiments using WIMSD-5B and CITVAP v3.1 codes
The calculation of integral parameters and power distribution is a very important task for fuel assembly design and whole core safety analysis. In this work, we used Monte Carlo (MCNP5) and deterministic lattice cell code WIMSD-5B with the diffusion code CITVAP v3.1 to assess the accuracy of neutronic calculations of three PWR lattice benchmark problems defined by the ANS Ad Hoc Committee on ...

Development of PSO-based robust controller for maximising wind penetration
In this paper, a new robust controller has been proposed for attaining the maximum safe instantaneous wind penetration. Particle swarm optimisation (PSO)-based algorithm has been developed to obtain the maximum safe instantaneous penetration by the optimisation of grid parameters. The developed algorithm has been tested on modified IEEE 14-bus system. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology ...

What is a distribution transformer?
Distribution Transformer: An Essential Component of Power Distribution Systems As you go about your daily life, you probably take for granted that electricity is readily available to power your home and business. However, there is a complex system in place that allows for the efficient distribution of electrical power, and one key component of this system is the distribution transformer. What ...

Monte Carlo characterisation of irradiation positions of the CENM TRIGA MARK II research reactor using MCNP5
The knowledge of neutron flux distribution in different parts of the research reactor is very important both for the design of experiments and for the reactor safety. Knowing the neutron flux profiles, reactor operators can optimise the irradiation conditions and select the positions most adaptable to the desired applications. Transport calculations can often give useful information about the ...

Thermal behaviour of the IPR-R1 TRIGA nuclear reactor
Experimental and analytical studies have been performed at the Nuclear Technology Development Center ? CDTN (Belo Horizonte) to find out the temperature distribution in the IPR-R1 TRIGA Research Nuclear Reactor, as a function of power and position in the reactor core. The basic safety limit for the TRIGA reactor system is the fuel temperature, both in steady-state and pulsed mode operation. The ...

Covid-19, Blackouts and Wildfires Demand New Energy Policy Initiatives
Covid-19, blackouts and increasing wildfires put CA residents at extreme risk. Dramatic steps to modernize our power grid with distributed customer-sited generation and storage are needed to mitigate these growing hazards Covid-19, rolling blackouts and the potential for a far more extreme wildfire season are putting Californians in danger. We need to take dramatic steps to ...
