Recently the hybrid multi-port DC circuit breaker (MP-DCCB) is becoming popular in protecting HVDC grids, thanks to their reduction of power electronics devices. In this paper, an enhanced current-limiting DCCB (MP-CLCB) for multiple line protection proposed. The integrated fault current limiter (FCL) inside MP-CLCB can clear faster with slightly increased costs. To reduce energy dissipation re...

In this work, the shaft furnace reactor of the MIDREX® process is simulated. This is a counter current gas-solid reactor, which transforms iron ore pellets into sponge iron. Simultaneous mass and energy balance along the reactor leads to a set of ordinary differential equation with two points boundary conditions. The iron ore reduction kinetics was modelated with the unreacted shrinking core mo...

We investigate a polyacetal-based electrolyte, poly(1,3,6-trioxocane) (P(2EO-MO)) mixed with lithium bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) salt, and report full electrochemical characterization of the transport parameters thermodynamic property in comparison to previously reported poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) electrolyte data [D. Gribble et al., J. Electrochem. Soc. , 166, A3228 (2019)]. W...

Background & objectives: Nitrate contamination of drinking water is a common problem in many parts of the world that poses a serious threat to public health and environment. In this research, the performance of a new rotary electrocoagulation reactor model for removal of nitrate in presence or absence of turbidity has been investigated. Methods: In this study, aluminum and iron electrodes were...

Gas discharge lamps, this meaning lamps using the principle to make a gas electrically conductive and thereby light emitting, are a relatively old technique. Especially fluorescent lamps represent a very widespread lighting system. It is not possible to apply the line voltage directly to such lamp, be it AC or DC, a higher or a lower magnitude. Traditionally these lamps have always been operate...
