Background: The earlier Atomic Bomb explosion in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and three worth mentioning nuclear accidents - detonation at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, Chernobyl nuclear fallout and an accident at Three Mile Island nuclear power plant have made us more worried about the secure exploitation of nuclear energy. The central focus of this paper is to review radiation-mediated health e...

Battery technology is the key bottleneck in many cyberphysical systems (CPS). For green-energy CPS transportation applications, such as hybrid electrical vehicles (HEVs) and plug-in HEVs (PHEVs), the battery system design is mostly based on lithium-ion rechargeable electrochemical battery technology, which is bulky, expensive, unreliable, and is the primary roadblock for PHEV adoption and marke...

In this paper, a digital battery capacity meter with an integrated charger is developed and built. Also, the software used to control monitor microcontroller of device from PC has been developed, so that data obtained measurement can be processed compared further using one available spreadsheet packages. Due widespread use electrochemical energy sources, whether primary ones or type, it extreme...

Because the charging process for Li+ batteries can take an hour or longer, testing a Li+ battery charger using its natural load (i.e., a battery) is time consuming and inconvenient. This application note presents a simple circuit for simulating the behavior of a Li+ battery, thus providing a more convenient method for testing Li+ battery chargers than using real batteries. A similar version of ...

Battery Management System (BMS) requires an indefinite accurate model. With an aging model, the lifetime of a battery can be precisely predicted. The mathematical model in terms of state variables is presented in this preliminary work involving smart BMS system. This work is crucial as the state space model is able to mimic the complex dynamic behavior of a battery system. A numerical case stud...

The feasibility of utilizing disordered Ni-based metal hydroxide, as both the anode and the cathode materials, in alkaline rechargeable batteries was validated for the first time. Co and Mn were introduced into the hexagonal Ni(OH)2 crystal structure to create disorder and defects that resulted in a conductivity increase. The highest discharge capacity of 55.6 mAh ̈g ́1 was obtained using a comme...

Nuclear energy is being reconsidered worldwide as a low-carbon and dispatchable source. Following the development of Small Modular Reactors (SMR) to reduce capital costs increase safety new nuclear power plants, microreactors are designed by several companies. Microreactors usually defined SMR with output in range 1–20 MWe. They can operate part electric grid, independently from grid or microgr...
