Development of a Concentrated Winding PM Alternator for a Small Wind Turbine
SBC: BERGEY WINDPOWER COMPANY, LLC Topic: 15aSmall wind turbines in the 5 – 25 kW range for rural residences, farms and small businesses have a large market potential due to the millions of suitable sites in the U.S. and overseas. But industry sales have declined in recent years as the costs of photovoltaics have dropped and state incentive programs have reduced. This is unfortunate because most of the equipment for solar power is importe ...

Rapid Assessment of Distribution Line Damage via Autonomous UAV
SBC: BRAINS4DRONES LLC Topic: 05bTwo-thirds of all electric outage minutes are weather-related, mostly the result of damage to above ground distribution lines. These outages close schools, shut down businesses and impede emergency services, costing the U.S. economy between $18 and $33 billion per year. Efforts to restore power start with the utility’s evaluation teams driving through flooded, icy, blocked, unlit roads to docume ...

High Density Chip Interconnect Technology Using High Density Glass Interposers
SBC: COLLIER VENTURES INC Topic: 27eModern particle physics experiments require “intelligent detectors” with dense interconnects and distributed intelligence in very large area detector systems. Available packaging and interconnect technologies directly limit the performance and capabilities of these systems. Interposers are interconnect elements that use through-silicon or through-glass vias to replace the PC board technol ...

A Cloud-enabled Mobile System for Integrated Nuclear Forensic Analysis
SBC: D-TECH, LLC Topic: 03aNuclear forensic analysis (NFA) is a complex multi-level process that requires detailed data collection, record keeping, and data exchange management throughout an investigation lifecycle. Currently, forensic data are mostly collected manually using paper forms and forensic digital records that are kept in various spreadsheets or data formats. There are no integrated data standards to ensure the q ...

Automotive-qualified 900 V/250 A SiC DMOSFETs with integrated Schottky Rectifiers
SBC: GENESIC SEMICONDUCTOR INC. Topic: 14bReducing the size, weight, and increasing the efficiency of electric vehicle traction power inverters requires the development of novel high-voltage, high current Silicon Carbide high-speed switches and rectifiers, since the existing Silicon technology is severely limited in terms of operating temperature, frequency and energy efficiency. However, the non-optimized device and manufacturing technol ...

Development and Characterization of SiC-Clad Control Rods & SiC Guide Tubes for Accident-Tolerant
SBC: INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, INC. Topic: 29gIn a loss of coolant accident, the fuel rod cladding can overheat and burst open exposing the nuclear fuel within. It can also react chemically with the residual steam present in the core to release hydrogen, forming a potentially explosive mixture that can challenge containment integrity. Accident-tolerant fuel attempts to prevent these effects by replacing the zirconium-alloy fuel rod cladding w ...

Remote Repair of Sealed Containers or Dry Storage Casks Containing Used Nuclear Fuel
SBC: INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, INC. Topic: 29bCurrently there are three types of storage systems used to store dry spent fuel: unshielded canisters in vertically-oriented shielded overpacks or silos, unshielded canisters horizontally oriented in concrete modules, and shielded casks. Different types of damage are possible for all three systems. The health and safety of the public will be best protected if the containment and shielding surround ...

Additive Manufacturing of SMR Holddown Springs and Upper Nozzle Interfaces
SBC: INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, INC. Topic: 30bCost and time associated with material waste, quality control, inspection, and manufacturing of nuclear fuel assembly components can be detrimental to nuclear plant design and development. Specifically, holddown springs are prime component examples that inherently carry these issues due to their complex geometries and attachment points. The design engineer must always weigh the manufacturing pract ...

An Open Source Proactive Energy Management System (PEMS) for Integrated Control of Energy Storage and Solar Powered Buildings
SBC: LEAPTRAN INC Topic: 06aElectrical load pattern becomes uncertain and variable due to distributed energy devices, thus contributing to grid instability and energy waste. At the grid level, the introduction of renewable energy into building industry makes the power system status more uncertain and variable. There is a disconnection to address building energy management and battery energy storage to unlock the potential fo ...

Surface Modification of Cellulose Nanofibrils for Reinforcement of Composites
SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED Topic: 08aCellulose nanofibrils (CNF) are a class of high axial ratio, nanoscale materials that can be sustainably derived from wood and plant products. Of particular interest is using CNFs as a reinforcement additive in polymer composites as a replacement for petroleum derived carbon fibers. The major obstacle to the use of CNF in resin applications is the incompatibility of their surface chemistry to that ...
