Ultrabroadband sound control with deep-subwavelength plasmacoustic metalayers

Hervé Lissek, Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Stanislav Sergeev

Controlling audible sound requires inherently broadband and subwavelength acoustic solutions, which are to date, crucially missing. This includes current noise absorption methods, such as porous materials or acoustic resonators, which are typically ineffic ...

Multiphysics model for assessing photoelectrochemical phenomena under concentrated irradiation

Sophia Haussener, Isaac Thomas Holmes-Gentle, Franky Esteban Bedoya Lora

A multiphysics model was developed for a photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell at the device level to simulate water splitting operating under concentrated irradiation (between 50 to 600 kW m−2). The 2D model couples charge, heat, mass, photon, and momentum tran ...

Correlated insulator collapse due to quantum avalanche via in-gap ladder states

Xi Chen, Camille Didier Georges Aron

The significant discrepancy observed between the predicted and experimental switching fields in correlated insulators under a DC electric field far-from-equilibrium necessitates a reevaluation of current microscopic understanding. Here we show that an elec ...

DC Transformer Impact on Voltage Dynamics in Hybrid AC-DC Power Distribution Networks

Drazen Dujic, Max Dupont, Jules Christian Georges Macé, Renan Pillon Barcelos, Andrea Cervone

AC/DC power distribution networks use various types of power converters to interconnect their buses, active front ends between AC and DC buses, and DC transformers between DC buses. Different active front end control methods, like voltage or power regulati ...

Corona discharge actuator as an active sound absorber under normal and oblique incidence

Thomas Humbert, Hervé Lissek, Stanislav Sergeev

In the majority of active sound absorbing systems, a conventional electrodynamic loudspeaker is used as a controlled source. However, particular situations may require an actuator that is more resistant to harsh environments, adjustable in shape, and light ...

Plasma-based Electroacoustic Actuator for Broadband Sound Absorption

Stanislav Sergeev

Environmental noise, mostly related to human activities, has an immense impact on public health. The development of noise reduction technologies is paramount in addressing this problem. Because of practical and economic reasons, a compact, broadband, light ...

High frequency IGCT operation for DC transformer

Gabriele Ulissi

In spite of the dominance of ac technology for the vast majority of power transmission and distribution since the late 19th century, the past decades have seen an increase in use of dc electrical power. In particular, this has been the case both in high vo ...

PID-like active impedance control for electroacoustic resonators to design tunable single-degree-of-freedom sound absorbers

Hervé Lissek, Maxime Volery, Xinxin Guo

Sound absorption at low frequencies still remains a challenge in both scientific research and engineering practice. Natural porous materials are ineffective in this frequency range, as well as acoustic resonators which present too narrow bandwidth of absor ...

Hybrid Modular Multilevel Converter for Pumped Hydro Storage Applications

Miodrag Basic

Energy balance in a power system must be maintained at all times, regardless of the variations in generation and consumption. Large Pumped Hydro Storage Plants (PHSPs) are introduced to the power system to accumulate the excess of energy during the low dem ...

Lifetime of dielectric elastomer actuators under DC electric fields

Fabio Beco Albuquerque

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are interesting soft actuators compared to other actuation technologies owing to large achievable actuation strains, high energy density and fast actuation. However, because DEAs need to be operated under high electric ...

Advanced Frameworks to Aggregate and Unlock the Power Flexibility of Distributed Energy Resources Located in Active Distribution Networks

Mohsen Kalantar Neyestanaki

Environmental concerns are leading to a fast transition in electric power systems towards replacing fossil fuel and nuclear generation with renewable generation. This transition has two significant implications for electric power systems: 1-The capacity o ...
