A semiconductor material is one that conducts electricity between conductors and insulators at room temperature. Semiconductors are used in integrated circuits, consumer electronics, communication systems, photovoltaic power generation, lighting, high-power power conversion and other fields. Semiconductors are very important from both the technical and economic point of view. The core components ...
In the realm of electrical engineering and power distribution, conductors play a crucial role in transmitting electricity from one point to another. Among the various types of conductors used, bare conductors are a fundamental component, particularly in high-voltage and outdoor applications. This article delves into the characteristics, applications, advantages, and challenges associated with ...

Circlips are ...
In 1882, Thomas Edison opened the first power plant, and 8 years later, William Morrison released the first electric car in the United States. The electric utility and auto industry were born and the two would dabble with the idea of working together. Henry Ford, a good friend of Thomas Edison, wanted to build an electric vehicle (EV) version of the Model T. He told the New York Times in 1914 ...
We caught up with Quintin Mecke, who is embarking on his second Climate Ride mountain biking tour this year! Hey Q, why did you sign up? “How could I not participate? I love cycling, I love people, I love the planet and I am a firm believer that actions (especially when on two wheels!) speak louder than words. For all of us, the time is now for action.” What’s motivating ...
Looking for a little inspiration? Me, too. We’ve all heard the statistics. One million species worldwide are currently at risk of extinction. Over 5 trillion pieces of plastic are polluting our oceans. The day the Arctic fully melts may happen within our lifetimes. And perhaps most shockingly, the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change tells us that we have a ...
On August 6, 2019, the Utility Workers Union of America (UWUA) announced its partnership with The Power for America Training Trust Fund (P4A) for the launch of a renewable energy specialist apprenticeship program. Certified by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), the program aims at assisting individuals with a path to employment for highly demanded jobs in the renewable energy sector. Under this ...
Sulzer completed an overhaul of three General Electric steam turbines and five Clark compressors for a large ethylene plant in Colombia. Sulzer’s service centers in Texas and Bogotá worked together to inspect and repair the three turbines. Sulzer staff helped the customer with project planning, full commissioning, and testing within a very tight timeframe. The city of ...
This paper presents the development and qualitative validation of a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine model that is represented in terms of behaviour equations of each of the subsystems, mainly the turbine rotor, the drive train, the induction generator, the power converters and associated control systems and a protection system. Simulation results obtained from the models are ...
Torsional oscillations in an open power train during start–up process are commonly called judder or clutch judder. Due to the rotational–translational coupling of tyres and body the longitudinal acceleration of the car passengers is, according to the appearing magnitudes, affected in a way that their driving comfort may be disturbed notably. Main subject of this paper is the ...
The characterisation method for the training scenarios utilised at BWR Operator Training Center (BTC) has been developed in order to confirm the uniformity in complexity of the training scenario. The proposed schemes of scenario characterisation have been applied to sample scenarios currently employed in BTC established for intensive training of BWR operators and the basic validity of the ...
In this paper is presented NUTEMA (Nuclear Power Plant Technology Management System) an IT innovative system dealing with the nuclear technology. The overall goal is to offer a framework capable to present in one room whatever is concerned with a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) unit implementing together a multilevel and multi–view user access according to enterprise architecture models. The NUTEMA ...
As a nuclear energy user, the Czech Republic needs a number of nuclear specialists for the operation of Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) and the Research and Development (R&D) of new nuclear devices. They are educated in few technical universities and the educational institutions of industrial companies. A main role is played in nuclear education by the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical ...
It is common practice to have a full-scope training simulator for a specific plant or for a group of similar plants. However, use of a Full-Scope Simulator (FSS) for training is not always effective. It becomes more effective if a modular training scheme and more simple simulators are used for pre-FSS training.Keywords: NPP personnel training, simulator training, full-scope simulators, nuclear ...
For Russia, nuclear technologies serve as the basis for economic, energy and political security. However, there are some challenges that significantly inhibit nuclear growth and development. One of these challenges is the shortage of qualified personnel. In the Russian nuclear sector there has been no systematic approach to workforce training and re-education until now. One of the most effective ...
The 3 MW TRIGA (Training, Research, Isotope, General Atomics) Mark-II research reactor of the Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC) has been operating at Atomic Energy Research Establishment (AERE), Savar, Dhaka, since September 1986. Since its commissioning, the reactor has been used in various fields of research and utilisation, such as Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA), Neutron ...
It is now generally recognised that the application of nuclear technologies can be enhanced through the effective creation, sharing and transfer of knowledge. Indeed, the management of knowledge is a major factor in nurturing a culture of innovation. In 2002, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) General Conference discussed the growing importance of Nuclear Knowledge Management (NKM) and ...
The successful applications of nuclear technology in areas as diverse as research, healthcare, nondestructive examinations, agriculture and electrical power generation are all dependent on the expert human resources available to the country or region utilising this technology. The expertise needed to understand and safely employ nuclear energy includes skilled craftsmen, operators, technicians ...
This paper describes the past and present status of nuclear (safeguards) education and training activities undertaken jointly in the European Commission's Research Centre. Starting from the original training requests formulated in the EURATOM Treaty, it is explained how the Joint Nuclear Research Centre (JRC) originally started to develop nuclear courses. Whereas nuclear safety is a national ...
This paper involves an introduction of an approach to reduce powertrain noise where the Design Of Experiments (DOE) has been implemented. Decoupling tests have been conducted on a test car to identify the engine noise transmission paths into the cabin. Under each coupling/decoupling combination, sound pressure levels at ear locations have been measured and evaluated in the second gear slow ...
