Planar SOFC system modelling and simulation including a 3D stack module

Simulation of SOFC stack and repeat elements including interconnect degradation and anode reoxidation risk

Reliability of SOFC stacks is a complex and key issue. This paper presents a simulation study including some degradation processes, namely nterconnect degradation and the anode reoxidation potential. Quantification for these phenomena has been included in a repeat element model to imulate stack degradation and study the influence of design and operating parameters on the degradation. Interconne...

Modelling and Simulation of a Transformer With Inter-turn Fault Including Saturation Effect and Variable Fault Parameters

This investigation deals with a mathematical model for a distribution transformer including saturation effect. To this end, the equations related to a three phase transformer are specified and the effect of an inter-turn fault is included. Naturally by applying an inter-turn fault the inductance and resistance matrix will change. Thus, unknown quantities of inductances and resistances for compl...

VHDL–AMS modelling and simulation of a planar electrostatic micromotor

System level simulation results of a planar electrostatic micromotor, based on analytical models of the static and dynamic torque behaviours, are presented. A planar variable capacitance (VC) electrostatic micromotor designed, fabricated and tested at LAAS (Toulouse) in 1995 is simulated using the high level language VHDL–AMS (VHSIC (very high speed integrated circuits) hardware description lan...

A 3D acquisition and modelling system

This paper presents our implementation of an integrated 3D acquisition and modelling system. The proposed system consists of an acquisition module, a registration algorithm proposed by the last two authors and a reconstruction module. Techniques for addressing the implementation of the modules are first briefly followed by a more detailed discussion of the techniques implemented in the system i...
