The development of more and more compact systems leads to master the interaction between different parts of the power supply while reducing electronic circuits, magnetic and thermal couplings from the constitutive circuitry. The consideration of these phenomena is very difficult at the design of the power supply. This paper presents two complementary methods based first on a circuitry model for the quantification of heat sources and secondly on finite element model for heat diffusion. This approach can help a designer in the goal of improving the performances and thermal stability of radar tied to the supply circuit subset.展开更多

With the current global price for oil and energy, this technology is not economically viable for most countries. However, oil and fossil fuel prices are known to be highly volatile, and the Paris Agreement calls for a reduction in fossil fuel use. Under these circumstances, heat supplied by nuclear power may abruptly return to favor. To prepare for such a scenario, this study will investigate design considerations for a prototypical modem nuclear power plant, the Korean APR1400 （advanced power reactor 1400） （e.g., Shin Kori Units 3, 4, Shin Hanul 1, 2, Barakah Units 1, 2, 3, 4）. Nuclear cogeneration can impact balance of plant system and component design for the condensate, feedwater, extraction steam, and heater drain systems. The APR1400 turbine cycle will be reviewed for a parametric range of pressures and flow rates of the steam exported for cogeneration to identify major design challenges.展开更多
