Next-Generation, LED-based, Adjustable Spectrum, Pulsed Solar Simulator
SBC: Spire Corporation Topic: 02aSolar simulators are needed for measuring the performance of solar cells and solar panels. These instruments currently use filtered high-intensity xenon lamps with poor spectral control, high voltage transients that can adversely affect electronic control circuits, lamp aging and a lack of easily-implemented size scaling. What is needed is a more reliable, low-voltage solid-state, spectrum-adjus ...

Photoluminescense for Solar Cell Crack Detection
SBC: Spire Corporation Topic: 02bIn the manufacturing process for photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules, a significant percentage of crystalline silicon wafers and solar cells contain microcracks that are difficult or impossible to detect with the human eye or currently available machine vision systems. These microcracks can propagate through the cells, resulting in power loss and cell breakage, due to mechanical and thermal stres ...

Components for Heating and Fueling of Fusion Plasmas
SBC: DIVERSIFIED TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Topic: 67bNext generation fusion facilities will require many megawatts of RF power from dozens of gyrotrons. Conventional DC power systems, built from WWII era components, have provided the typical approach to powering high-power RF vacuum devices for the last 50 years. Typically, they suffer from reliability and availability problems, and are often only 50 70% efficient. Scaling these conventional RF pow ...

Marx Modulator Optimization for Advanced Accelerators
SBC: DIVERSIFIED TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Topic: 65dThe next generation of particle accelerators will require large numbers of RF cavities, producing field gradients undreamt of a dozen years ago. The next frontier is high energy, short pulse modulators, continuing the technical thrust begun under recent colliders and numerous X-Band accelerator designs. Modulators to drive the klystrons for these new accelerators must meet aggressive requirements ...

High Strength Silver Sheath for Bi2212/Ag Conductor
SBC: Supercon, Inc. Topic: 62aThis proposal describes an innovative high strength silver alloy for making Bi2212/Ag round wire conductor. To generate magnetic fields greater than 20 T, a new high field superconductor such as Bi2212 is needed. However, Bi2212 is brittle ceramic that can be easily damaged, and its critical current is very strain sensitive. The Bi2212 compound is contained in a silver matrix that is chemically co ...

Efficient manufacture of extreme surface area Microchannel plate devices functionalized by atomic layer deposition thin films
SBC: ARRADIANCE LLC Topic: 61aThe work proposed in this SBIR proposal is is synergistic with the, DOE funded, basic R & amp;D effort of a consortium of national laboratories, universities, and industry, led by Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago for the development of new, large area, photodetector devices. This project proposes to address the commercialization gap that exists between the proofofprinciple ...

Integrated System for Management of Cable Aging in Support of Long Life Operation of Nuclear Power Plants
SBC: ANALYSIS AND MEASUREMENT SERVICE CORPORATION Topic: 55aAs the existing fleet of US nuclear power plants pass midlife, the aging condition of safety related systems, structures, and components (SSCs) becomes increasingly important. Electrical cables, including those used for instrumentation and control, are vital for safety related systems and problems related to these cables are often difficult to diagnose. The health of these cables and the reliabil ...

Prognostic Methods for Predicting Remaining Useful Life of Nuclear Plant Equipment and Components
SBC: ANALYSIS AND MEASUREMENT SERVICE CORPORATION Topic: 55aAlthough nuclear power plants have provided a reliable source of power for the U.S. over the last four decades, unexpected equipment failures have resulted in losses of power production and millions of dollars of revenue, which may have been avoided if the warning signs of impending failures had been recognized. Likewise, utilities have spent millions of dollars and lost countless days of power pr ...

Development of an Active, Man-Portable, Cooling System with Dehumidification Capabilities for Personal Protective Clothing/Equipment
SBC: MAINSTREAM ENGINEERING CORP Topic: 48bThe U.S. Department of Energy is currently seeking technologies that can decrease the weight and thermal insulation associated with personal protective clothing/equipment (PPC/PPE). The call for this technology has stemmed from the poor working conditions associated with workers in contaminated areas of nuclear facilities and the need to mitigate the effects of heat stress. Because the primary obj ...

Growth of Large Diameter High-Purity Germanium Crystals for Nuclear Physics Research
SBC: Phds Co. Topic: 46bDOE Nuclear Physics user facilities require larger high-resolution gamma-ray detector systems to provide higher sensitivity measurements. Large diameter germanium crystals are being grown, evaluated, and iteratively improved in the laboratory. Large-diameter crystals will be made into large segmented planar detectors to demonstrate the viability of the crystals and the advanced detection capabilit ...
