DEA Self-discharge Characterization for Low Duty Cycle Applications

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Raphaël Johannes Charles Mottet, Thomas Guillaume Martinez, Stefania Maria Aliki Konstantinidi

This publication presents the characterization of self discharging Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEAs) in order to give place to low duty cycle applications, during which a DEA must remain actuated for long periods of time. DEAs typically present a low c ...

Hard-Switching Losses in Power FETs: The Role of Output Capacitance

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Reza Soleiman Zadeh Ardebili, Armin Jafari, Palliyage Srilak Nirmana Perera

For certain field-effect transistors (FETs) in soft-switching operation, the large-signal behavior of their output capacitance ( Co ) has shown to deviate considerably from the datasheet values. This can have a significant effect on hard-switching losses i ...

Beware of your electrodes! How electrode materials and application processes impact the lifetime of slide-ring-material-based DEAs

Herbert Shea

For dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) to find more widespread adoption in commercial products, a better understanding of their durability is needed. By determining the different mechanisms contributing to ageing and breakdown in DEAs, new methods for i ...

The influence of climate on water chemistry states and dynamics in rivers across Australia

Camille Roland Marie Minaudo

For effective water quality management and policy development, spatial variability in the mean concentrations and dynamics of riverine water quality needs to be understood. Using water chemistry (calcium, electrical conductivity, nitrate-nitrite, soluble r ...

Ionization Waves Enhance the Production of X-rays during Streamer Collisions

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

Experimental data show that in laboratory sparks, X-rays are produced in time synchronization with the meeting of streamers of opposite polarity just before the final breakdown of the discharge gap. It has been suggested that the electric field enhancement ...

Integrated Real-Time Supervisory Management for Off-Normal-Event Handling and Feedback Control of Tokamak Plasmas

Olivier Sauter, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Cristian Galperti, Anna Ngoc Minh Trang Vu, Alessandro Pau, Bernhard Sieglin

For long-pulse tokamaks, one of the main challenges in the control strategy is to simultaneously reach multiple control objectives and to robustly handle in real-time (RT) unexpected events [off-normal-events (ONEs)] with a limited set of actuators. We hav ...

On The Efficiency Of Energy Storage Systems - The Influence Of The Exchanged Power And The Penalty Of The Auxiliaries

Alfred Rufer

Storage is an important domain of the energy sector, with its traditional, classical solutions for smaller and larger amounts of energy. Energy storage has become of higher importance in relation with the development of alternative energy sources, leading ...
