Abstract:
In many dynamic systems, such as vehicles, engine air and fuel control systems, fluid power systems, industrial robotics, and testing machines, high-speed actuators are necessary to achieve efficient system operation and high bandwidth performance. This article introduces a new actuation mechanism to enable high-speed actuation. The premise for this actuation mechanism is to momentarily couple a moving component (kinetic energy source) with translational components, which is enabled by a coupling/clutch system. The kinetic energy source (flywheel, electric motor, pump or motor shaft, etc.) is intermittently clutched and declutched to produce linear motion. This article presents such an energy coupler actuator using a magneto-rheological fluid clutch, initially focused on an application for high-speed valve actuation. A multi-physics coupled model was developed to evaluate the proposed energy coupler actuator performance. Simulations were conducted to optimize the energy coupler actuator design parameters. A prototype of the magneto-rheological fluid energy coupler actuator based on the optimal design solution was fabricated and experimentally tested, which achieved 1.6-mm stroke in 4.7 ms.

Abstract:
Magnets have received broad attention for vibration energy harvesting due to noncontact, nonlinear forces that may be leveraged among harvesting system elements. Yet, opportunities to integrate multi-directional coupling among a nonlinear energy harvesting system subjected to impulsive excitations have not been scrutinized, despite widespread prevalence of such excitations. To characterize these potentials, this research investigates an energy harvesting system with magnetically induced nonlinearities and coupling effects under impulsive excitations. A system model is formulated and validated with experimental efforts to reconstruct static and dynamic properties of the system via simulations. Then, the model is harnessed to scrutinize dynamic response of the system when subjected to impulse conditions. This research reveals the clear impulse strength dependence and influence of asymmetries on total electrical energy capture and energy conversion efficiency that are tailored by magnetic force coupling. Asymmetry is found to promote greater impulse-to-electrical energy conversion when compared to the symmetric counterpart system and a benchmark nonlinear energy harvester. The roles of initial conditions exemplify how stored energy in an asymmetric energy harvesting system may be released during nonlinear impulsive response. These results provide insights about opportunities and challenges to incorporate magnetic coupling effects in nonlinear energy harvesting systems subjected to impulses.

Abstract:
Wireless power transfer (WPT) technologies have become important for our everyday life. The most commonly used near-field WPT method is inductive coupling, which suffers from low efficiency and small range. The Strongly Coupled Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) method was developed recently, and it can be used to wirelessly transfer power with higher efficiency over a longer distance than the inductive coupling method. This dissertation develops new SCMR systems that have better performance compared to standard SCMR systems. Specifically, two new 3-D SCMR systems are designed to improve the angular misalignment sensitivity of WPT systems. Their power transfer efficiency for different angular misalignment positions are studied and analyzed. Prototypes are built for both systems and their performance is validated through measurement. Furthermore, new planar broadband conformal SCMR (CSCMR) systems are developed that maintain high efficiency while providing significantly larger bandwidth than standard CSCMR systems. Such broadband CSCMR systems are used here for the first time to simultaneously accomplish highly efficient wireless power transfer and high data rate communication through the same wireless link. These systems that combine wireless power and communication are expected to enable next-generation applications with battery-less and “power-hungry” sensors. Example applications include implantable and wearable sensors as well as embedded sensors for structural health monitoring.

Abstract:
Nowadays, the increasing of the energy consumption is producing serious changes in the natural environment as the global warming. Around the 40% of all greenhouse gas emissions in developed countries come from the building equipments, where approximately 60% are produced by the air conditioning systems. In this context, ground coupled heat pumps are an attractive solution as air conditioning systems in commercial buildings due to their higher efficiency compared with the conventional air to water heat pump. In fact, the American Environmental Protection Agency recognizes ground coupled heat pump systems among the most efficient and comfortable systems available today. Nevertheless, the energy efficiency of the ground coupled heat pumps could be improve by means a properly management of the di erent equipments which form them. The objective of the research of this PhD thesis will be the development of management strategies in the air conditioning system based on the ground coupled heat pumps to improve its energy efficiency at the same time that we keep the thermal comfort in the conditioned areas. The energy management strategies will be oriented in the three ways: combining of several generation systems (ground coupled heat pump and air to water heat pump), decoupling thermal generation from thermal distribution (by means a thermal storage device) and strategies based on the management of the devices of the system (by means of continuous regulation of them). From the results of this research we can obtain two main conclusions. The rst one is that a properly management of a system composed by a thermal storage, an air to water heat pump and a ground coupled heat pump produce an improvement of the energy efficiency around a 40% respect to a conventional system and around a 18% respect to a geothermal system. The second main conclusion of this thesis is that a properly management strategy in continuous regulation of the devices which are part of a ground coupled ..

Energy storage has the potential to dramatically change the operation of photovoltaics by allowing for a delay between generation and use. This flexibility has the potential to impact both the revenue from generating electricity using photovoltaics and the associated emissions reductions. This thesis attempts to quantify the impacts of adding energy storage to photovoltaics. The thesis formulates an optimization problem to solve for the optimal use of photovoltaics with energy storage from 2000 to 2005 in New England. The optimization is first solved using perfect information about historical solar generation, energy prices, and marginal emissions rates. Then, the model is solved using forecasted energy prices and emissions rates. The analysis finds that adding energy storage to photovoltaics can increase annual revenues by over 30%. With energy storage capacity and power equal to solar capacity, annual revenues were found to increase between 19.3% and 31.1% with an energy storage efficiency of 100%. Unfortuneately, the potential revenue increases were found to fall to between 9.1% and 21.3% with 80% efficient storage and between 3% and 14.5% with 60% efficient storage. However, when owners utilize energy storage to maximize revenue, the changes in avoided emissions with energy storage are found to be negligible. Alternatively, it is possible to achieve significant increases in the emissions offset by photovoltaics with energy storage. However, when energy storage is utilized to maximize emissions reductions, revenue decreases.
(cont.) This tradeoff between the economic and environmental benefits that can be achieved when energy storage is added to photovoltaics means it is unlikely to be possible, without policy, to simultaneously achieve large increases in both revenue and avoided emissions. Policy mechanisms could be used to enable energy storage to enhance both the revenue from photovoltaics and avoided emissions.

Abstract:
Ce travail de thèse aborde les liens complexes entre les processus physiques urbains, par le développement de modèles couplés pour tenir compte simultanément de la demande énergétique des bâtiments, les systèmes énergétiques individuels ou de quartier, et du microclimat urbain. L'échelle spatiale correspond aux quartiers urbains explicités géométriquement, et l’échelle temporelle est annuelle. Différentes stratégies de couplage ont été évaluées, pour leur capacité de représentation des effets thermiques, et des phénomènes couplés. Les schémas de couplages synchrones sont efficaces pour les interactions dynamiques entre bâtiments et microclimat. Néanmoins, ce couplage est sensible aux propriétés thermiques du bâtiment. La simplification de la canopée urbaine à un nœud de calcul entraîne une variation significative de la demande énergétique. Par ailleurs, le modèle développé a été utilisé pour évaluer les performances thermiques d'un quartier de La Rochelle. Le remplacement des climatiseurs individuels par un réseau urbain de froid élimine la contribution anthropique des bâtiments, et améliore le confort thermique extérieur, agissant comme une stratégie d'atténuation locale d’îlot de chaleur. Cependant, il entraîne une pénalité énergétique due aux pertes par le sol du réseau urbain. Cette pénalité énergétique est amplifiée lorsqu'une stratégie d'atténuation passive (matériaux froids) est mise en œuvre simultanément
This PhD work investigates the complex links between urban physical processes, through the development of coupled simulation platforms to account simultaneously for building energy demand, individual or district energy systems, and urban microclimate. The spatial and temporal scales correspond to urban neighborhoods under explicit geometries, and annual simulations respectively. Several coupling strategies have been evaluated, regarding thermal efficiency indicators, and the determination of the diversity of coupled phenomena. The synchronous coupling schemes can effectively assess the dynamical interactions between buildings and the local microclimate. Nevertheless, the coupling variable is sensitive to the thermal properties of the building. The simplification of the urban canopy layer to a single-node description reveals significant variability in building energy demand. Besides, the developed model has been employed to assess the thermal performance of an urban neighborhood in La Rochelle. The transition from local energy systems to the district energy network eliminates anthropogenic heat from buildings, and improves the outdoor thermal comfort conditions, acting as a local heat island mitigation strategy. However, it is associated with an energy penalty due to the ground losses of the piping circuit. This energy penalty is amplified when a passive mitigation strategy (cool materials) is implemented concurrently

Abstract:
In this work several decomposition strategies for the synthesis / design optimization of highly coupled, highly dynamic energy systems are formally presented and their implementation illustrated. The methods are based on the autonomous optimization of the individual units (components, sub-systems or disciplines), while maintaining energy and cost links between all units, which make up the overall system. All of the approaches are designed to enhance current engineering synthesis / design practices in that: they support the analysis of systems and optimization in a modular way, the results at every step are feasible and constitute an improvement over the initial design state, the groups in charge of the different unit designs are allowed to work concurrently, and permit any level of complexity as to the modeling and optimization of the units. All of the decomposition methods use the Optimum Response Surface (ORS) of the problem as a basis for analysis. The ORS is a representation of the optimum objective function for various values of the functions that couple the system units1. The complete ORS or an approximation thereof can be used in ways, which lead to different methods. The first decomposition method called the Local Global Optimization (LGO) method requires the creation of the entire ORS by carrying out multiple unit optimizations for various combinations of values of the coupling functions. The creation of the ORS is followed by a system-level optimization in which the best combination of values for the coupling functions is sought The second decomposition method is called the Iterative Local Global Optimization (ILGO) scheme. In the ILGO method an initial point on the ORS is found, i.e. the unit optimizations are performed for initial arbitrary values of the coupling functions. A linear approximation of the ORS about that initial point is then used to guide the selection of new values for the coupling functions that guarantee an improvement upon the initial design. The process is repeated until no further improvement is achieved. The mathematical properties of the methods depend on the convexity of the ORS, which in turn is affected by the choice of thermodynamic properties used to charecterize the couplings. Examples in the aircraft industry are used to illustrate the application and properties of the methods.

Abstract:
This work presents the results of different numerical and experimental studies about energy performance, thermal comfort and ventilation effectiveness of radiant systems combined with different types of mechanical ventilation. Experimental studies have been carried out in Italy, in a test room in the laboratories of the company RHOSS S.p.A in Codroipo (Udine) and in Denmark, in a test room in the laboratories of the International Centre for Indoor Environment and Energy (ICIEE), at DTU (Danish Technical University), in Lyngby. Radiant systems in residential and in office buildings are increasingly used because of the low heating or cooling demand and, at the same time, for the good thermal comfort they assure. The thermal output estimation of radiant system in steady state condition needs the determination of the convective heat transfer coefficient from the surface to the room; a critical review among the correlations available in literature have been carried out and correlations for heated ceiling and cooled floor have been presented. Furthermore the variation of convective heat transfer coefficients, depending on the considered ventilation systems, has been estimated by means of the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique. The energy performance and thermal behavior of radiant systems during transient conditions have been predicted by using experimental tests and numerical calculations with the software Digithon that was developed by the University of Padua. In this work the validation of this software by comparison with experimental data has been presented. In new and renovated buildings the high tightness and high insulation determine a potential risk of poor indoor air quality and condensation at the surfaces; for this reason an efficient ventilation system is necessary to provide for fresh air in the rooms. In a low polluted building air quality depends on human bioeffluents, among which carbon dioxide is considered the most significant one. By using numerical simulations (CFD) the effects of the supply and extract air terminals on contaminants distribution in offices equipped with a cooled ceiling has been investigated. Besides, in order to fully characterize the indoor climate of residential rooms or offices, an extensive experimental study has been carried out in a test room to determine both thermal comfort and ventilation effectiveness for different solutions of mixing ventilation and displacement ventilation combined with floor radiant systems. In particular, the effects of supply and extract air terminals positions by using low air change rates in mixing ventilation and the effects of different ventilation rates with displacement ventilations terminals have been analyzed. Results from experiments have been used for the validation of a CFD model for the prediction of air distribution in rooms equipped with mixed or displacement ventilation, combined with heating/cooling floor systems.
In questo lavoro di dottorato vengono presentati i risultati di uno studio sui sistemi radianti per il raffrescamento ed il riscaldamento in ambito civile e sulla loro integrazione con opportuni sistemi di ventilazione meccanica. Le prestazioni energetiche in regime stazionario e transitorio, così come le prestazioni di comfort termico e di qualità dell’aria garantita, sono state studiate mediante l’ausilio di prove sperimentali, di simulazioni fluidodinamiche e di altri codici di calcolo. Gli studi sperimentali sono stati realizzati in parte in Italia, presso i laboratori dell’azienda RHOSS S.p.A di Codroipo (Udine), e in parte presso i laboratori dell’ICIEE (International Centre for Indoor Environment and Energy), dell’Università Tecnica di Danimarca, (DTU) a Lyngby (DK). L’aspetto più rilevante di questo lavoro è legato alla sempre maggiore diffusione dei sistemi radianti come soluzione per il riscaldamento ed il raffrescamento di ambienti interni, in quanto combinano vantaggi energetici ad elevati livelli di comfort termico. Per ragioni dovute alla piccola differenza di temperatura tra l’ambiente e il fluido termovettore, i sistemi radianti si interfacciano molto bene con caldaie a condensazione, pompe di calore, sistemi free cooling, collettori solari e altre sorgenti rinnovabili e soluzioni ad alta efficienza energetica. Il calcolo della resa termica di tali sistemi viene eseguito mediante le equazioni valide per la convezione in regime stazionario, come quelle fornite dalle norme Europee EN 1264 ed EN 15377. In letteratura esistono numerose correlazioni valide per il calcolo della potenza convettiva di superfici orizzontali e verticali e di superfici interne di stanze reali; le norme EN 1264 ed EN 15377 consigliano correlazioni diverse e lo stesso accade per codici si simulazione energetica degli edifici. Ad oggi non è disponibile una chiara definizione di coefficiente di scambio termico convettivo per i sistemi radianti, specialmente per quanto riguarda pavimenti freddi e soffitti caldi. Il primo obiettivo di questa tesi è stato di realizzare un’analisi critica delle correlazioni disponibili in letteratura adatte ai sistemi radianti e di proporre delle equazioni per ogni configurazione di riscaldamento o raffrescamento da soffitto, pavimento o parete. In ambito residenziale il pavimento radiante rappresenta una delle soluzioni più richieste grazie all’elevato livello di comfort termico garantito; tuttavia, al fine di migliorare la qualità dell’aria e specialmente a causa della necessità di deumidificare l’aria in estate per evitare formazione di condensa, accanto al sistema radiante andrebbe installato un sistema di ventilazione meccanica. L’aria primaria in estate è solitamente a temperatura più bassa della temperatura della stanza e dotata di una certa velocità; nel caso di immissione da bocchette installate vicino ad una superficie radiante, lo scambio convettivo potrebbe venire variato rispetto ad una soluzione senza ventilazione. Mediante uno studio con simulazioni fluidodinamiche CFD è stato possibile valutare l’incremento dello scambio convettivo da un soffitto freddo mediante lo sfruttamento di aria primaria. I sistemi radianti, in particolare i sistemi a soffitto, rappresentano un’ottima soluzione per rimuovere i carichi termici degli uffici durante il periodo estivo, ma allo stesso tempo possono essere usati per il riscaldamento invernale degli stessi con buone prestazioni energetiche e di comfort termico. La differenza sostanziale è che durante la stagione invernale il sistema radiante si trova a lavorare prevalentemente in regime stazionario, mentre durante la stagione estiva i carichi esterni dovuti alla radiazione solare e all’escursione diurna, accompagnati da carichi interni dovuti all’occupazione umana, determinano condizioni piuttosto variabili durante la giornata. Il comportamento di sistemi radianti a regimi stazionari e transitori sono state studiate mediante prove in camera climatica; inoltre un modello di calcolo chiamato Digithon, sviluppato all’interno del Dipartimento di Fisica Tecnica dell’Università di Padova, è stato validato mediante un confronto con dati sperimentali. Seguendo un’opportuna procedura, riportata nella tesi, è stato possibile impostare dei profili di carico che simulano una tipica giornata estiva o invernale su una parete della stanza ed è stato studiato come il soffitto radiante reagisca per cercare di mantenere una certa temperatura di comfort nella stanza. Al fine di mantenere una buona qualità dell’aria, evitare la formazione di condensa, ma anche per incrementare la capacità di raffrescamento quando richiesto, i sistemi radianti per gli uffici andrebbero sempre associati a sistemi di ventilazione meccanica. Accanto ai tradizionali sistemi a soffitto con ventilazione a miscelazione, le soluzioni con ventilazione a dislocamento accoppiate a sistemi a pavimento o a soffitto sono alternative di crescente interesse per gli uffici. In edifici dove sia bassa la quantità di inquinanti emessi dai materiali edili, dai mobili e dalle attrezzature, la quantità di bioeffluenti dagli occupanti, dei quali l’anidride carbonica CO2 è normalmente usata come principale indicatore, è determinante per la qualità dell’aria interna. La capacità di rimozione dei contaminanti e, parallelamente, la capacità di immettere aria pulita negli ambienti sono espresse dall’efficienza di ventilazione (ventilation effectiveness). Mediante simulazione fluidodinamiche CFD è stato possibile confrontare l’efficienza di rimozione dei contaminanti utilizzando diverse soluzioni di ventilazione a dislocamento piuttosto che soluzioni tradizionali a miscelazione. La qualità di un ambiente interno andrebbe misurata in termini sia di comfort termico garantito all’occupante che di qualità dell’aria. Attraverso prove sperimentali in laboratorio, i principali indici di comfort termico e di efficienza di ventilazione sono stati determinati per diverse configurazioni di ventilazione a miscelazione e di ventilazione a dislocamento in ambienti rappresentativi di applicazioni residenziali o del terziario. I risultati sono stati in seguito utilizzati per effettuare una validazione di un modello fluidodinamico (CFD) creato per la previsione del movimento dell’aria in ambienti residenziali o uffici.

Abstract:
Wireless power transfer (WPT) technologies for communication and recharging devices have recently attracted significant research attention. Conventional WPT systems based either on far-field or near-field coupling cannot provide simultaneously high efficiency and long transfer range. The Strongly Coupled Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) method was introduced recently, and it offers the possibility of transferring power with high efficiency over longer distances. Previous SCMR research has only focused on how to improve its efficiency and range through different methods. However, the study of optimal and miniaturized designs has been limited. In addition, no multiband and broadband SCMR WPT systems have been developed and traditional SCMR systems exhibit narrowband efficiency thereby imposing strict limitations on simultaneous wireless transmission of information and power, which is important for battery-less sensors. Therefore, new SCMR systems that are optimally designed and miniaturized in size will significantly enhance various technologies in many applications. The optimal and miniaturized SCMR systems are studied here. First, analytical models of the Conformal SCMR (CSCMR) system and thorough analysis and design methodology have been presented. This analysis specifically leads to the identification of the optimal design parameters, and predicts the performance of the designed CSCMR system. Second, optimal multiband and broadband CSCMR systems are designed. Two-band, three-band, and four-band CSCMR systems are designed and validated using simulations and measurements. Novel broadband CSCMR systems are also analyzed, designed, simulated and measured. The proposed broadband CSCMR system achieved more than 7 times larger bandwidth compared to the traditional SCMR system at the same frequency. Miniaturization methods of SCMR systems are also explored. Specifically, methods that use printable CSCMR with large capacitors, novel topologies including meandered, SRRs, and spiral topologies or 3-D structures, lower the operating frequency of SCMR systems, thereby reducing their size. Finally, SCMR systems are discussed and designed for various applications, such as biomedical devices and simultaneous powering of multiple devices.

Abstract:
Empirical evidence suggests that parameters of human gait (e.g. step frequency, step length) tend to minimize energy expenditure. However, it is unclear if individuals can adapt to dynamic environments in real time, i.e. continuously optimize energy expenditure, and to what extent. Two coupled oscillator systems were used to test the learned interactions of individuals within dynamic environments: (1) experienced farmworkers carrying oscillating loads on a flexible bamboo pole and (2) individuals walking on a treadmill while strapped to a mechatronics oscillator system providing periodic forces to the body. Reductionist trajectory optimization models predicted energy-minimizing gait interactions within the coupled oscillator systems and were compared to experimental data assessed with linear mixed models. On average, pole carriers significantly adjusted step frequency by 3.3% (0.067 Hz, p=0.014) to accommodate the bamboo pole – consistent with model predictions of energy savings. Novice subjects entrained (i.e. synchronized) their step frequency with machine oscillations up to ±10% of preferred step frequency and at amplitudes as low as 5% body weight (or ~33 N). Still, some subjects rarely entrained at all, and many exhibited transient entrainment, i.e. they drifted in and out of step frequencies matching the machine oscillations. Overall, subject entrainment was more robust and consistent with lower frequencies and higher amplitudes (20-30% of body weight). Although no systematic difference was found between the metabolic consumption of subjects during and not during entrainment, the net mechanical work done on subjects by the force oscillations had a strong effect on metabolic output (p

Abstract:
Living systems create order, and appear to break the Second Law. This chapter explains, and resolves, this apparent paradox, drawing on the concept of coupled reactions (as introduced in Chapters 13 and 16), as mediated by ‘energy currencies’ such as ATP and NADH. The chapter then examines the key energy-capturing systems in biological systems – glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, and also photosynthesis. Topics covered include how energy is captured in the conversion of glucose to pyruvate, the mitochondrial membrane, respiration, electron transport, ATP synthase, chloroplasts and thylakoids, photosystems I and II, and the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis.

Abstract:
Blackbody radiation, temperature, and thermodynamic equilibrium give a tightly coupled description of systems (atmospheres, volumes, surfaces) that obey Boltzmann statistics. They provide descriptions of systems when Boltzmann statistics apply, either approximately or nearly exactly. These apply most of the time in the Earth’s stratosphere and troposphere, and in other planetary atmospheres as long as the density is sufficient that collisions among atmospheric molecules, rather than photochemical and photophysical properties, determine the energy populations of the ensemble of molecules. Thermodynamic equilibrium and the approximation of local thermodynamic equilibrium are introduced. Boltzmann statistics, blackbody radiation, and Planck’s law are described. The chapter introduces the Rayleigh-Jeans limit, description of noise sources as temperatures, Kirchoff’s law, the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, and Wien’s law.

Abstract:
AbstractCoupled aquaponics is the archetype form of aquaponics. The technical complexity increases with the scale of production and required water treatment, e.g. filtration, UV light for microbial control, automatic controlled feeding, computerization and biosecurity. Upscaling is realized through multiunit systems that allow staggered fish production, parallel cultivation of different plants and application of several hydroponic subsystems. The main task of coupled aquaponics is the purification of aquaculture process water through integration of plants which add economic benefits when selecting suitable species like herbs, medicinal plants or ornamentals. Thus, coupled aquaponics with closed water recirculation systems has a particular role to fulfil.Under fully closed recirculation of nutrient enriched water, the symbiotic community of fish, plants and bacteria can result in higher yields compared with stand-alone fish production and/or plant cultivation. Fish and plant choices are highly diverse and only limited by water quality parameters, strongly influenced by fish feed, the plant cultivation area and component ratios that are often not ideal. Carps, tilapia and catfish are most commonly used, though more sensitive fish species and crayfish have been applied. Polyponics and additional fertilizers are methods to improve plant quality in the case of growth deficiencies, boosting plant production and increasing total yield.The main advantages of coupled aquaponics are in the most efficient use of resources such as feed for nutrient input, phosphorous, water and energy as well as in an increase of fish welfare. The multivariate system design approach allows coupled aquaponics to be installed in all geographic regions, from the high latitudes to arid and desert regions, with specific adaptation to the local environmental conditions. This chapter provides an overview of the historical development, general system design, upscaling, saline and brackish water systems, fish and plant choices as well as management issues of coupled aquaponics especially in Europe.

Abstract:
A conventional vibration energy harvester is usually designed as a linear single-degree-of-freedom (1DOF) resonator. The efforts to improve its efficiency involve two aspects, i.e., enlarging the magnitude of output and widening the operating bandwidth. In this paper, we propose a magnetic coupled cantilever piezoelectric energy harvester (PEH) to achieve the above two goals. Different from other reported magnetic coupled PEHs, the magnetic interaction in the proposed design is introduced by a magnetic oscillator. Firstly, the lumped parameter models are established for the conventional linear PEH, the nonlinear PEH with a fixed magnet and the proposed PEH with a magnetic oscillator. The governing equations of the three systems are then provided in the state space form and their dynamics can be simulated by numerical integration. Subsequently, experimental tests are performed to validate the models. Both experiment and simulation show that the dynamics of the magnetic oscillator is able to not only broaden the operating bandwidth but also enhance the maximum power output of the PEH. Based on the validated model, parametric study is conducted to optimize the system performance.

Abstract:
This paper presents a linear-spring coupled nonlinear energy harvesting system, which contains linear piezoelectric energy harvesters coupled by linear springs. Although every element of the system is linear, the system will present nonlinear characteristics when it is subjected to excitations because of the geometric nonlinearity induced by coupled motions. Three non-uniform cross-section linear harvesters with the same total length and the different thickness are selected to form the proposed system. Based on Euler-Bernoulli beam assumptions and the geometrical relationship among each element, a detailed modeling process of the proposed system is presented. In order to verify the broadband characteristics, the comparison of the proposed system and its linear counterparts is provided. Under harmonic excitations, the proposed system has much better energy harvesting capacity compared with its linear counterparts. What’s more, the energy harvesting performance of the proposed system is a little better than its linear counterparts under random excitations. The results demonstrate that the advantage of the proposed system is enhanced along with increased excitation level. In addition, such non-magnetic nonlinear energy harvesting system can be used in the areas where magnets are forbidden, such as inside the human body.

Abstract:
As part of its Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals program, the Geological Survey of Canada included the Hudson Bay Basin in its research portfolio with the goal of generating a modern understanding of its geological framework and a precise knowledge of its hydrocarbon systems. The Hudson Bay-Foxe Basins GEM-1 project led to the proposal of modern stratigraphic frameworks and produced extensive geochemical data on hydrocarbon source rocks as well as data on diverse burial-thermal indicators. Satellite data were acquired over the entire offshore domain in the search for evidence for active hydrocarbon systems. For the Hudson-Ungava GEM-2 project, the aim of the research activities was to better understand local and regional factors associated with the burial and exhumation histories as they pertain to regional or local hydrocarbon prospectivity. This research led to a basin-scale stratigraphic framework coupled with detailed analyses of hydrocarbon generation and the appraisal of the best potential reservoir units.

Abstract:
Heat pumps are an excellent solution to supply heating and cooling for indoor space conditioning and domestic hot water production. Conventional heat pumps are typically electrically driven and operate with a vapour-compression thermodynamic cycle of refrigerant fluid to transfer heat from a cold source to a warmer sink. This mature technology is cost-effective and achieves appreciable coefficients of performance (COP). The heat pump market demand is driven up by the urge to improve the energy efficiency of building heating systems coupled with the increase of global cooling needs for air-conditioning. Unfortunately, the refrigerants used in current conventional heat pumps can have a large greenhouse or ozone-depletion effect. Alternative gaseous refrigerants have been identified but they present some issues regarding toxicity, flammability, explosivity, low energy efficiency or high cost. However, several non-vapour-compression heat pump technologies have been invented and could be promising alternatives to conventional systems, with potential for higher COP and without the aforementioned refrigerant drawbacks. Among those, the systems based on the so-called “caloric effects” of solid-state refrigerants are gaining large attention. These caloric effects are characterized by a phase transition varying entropy in the material, resulting in a large adiabatic temperature change. This phase transition is induced by a variation of a specific external field applied to the solid refrigerant. Therefore, the magnetocaloric, elastocaloric, electrocaloric and barocaloric effects are adiabatic temperature changes in specific materials when varying the magnetic field, uniaxial mechanical stress, electrical field or hydrostatic pressure, respectively. Heat pump cycle can be built from these caloric effects and several heating/cooling prototypes were developed and tested over the last few decades. Although not a mature technology yet, some of these caloric systems are well suited to become new efficient and sustainable solutions for indoor space conditioning and domestic hot water production. This technical report (and the paper to which this report is supplementary materials) aims to raise awareness in the building community about these innovative caloric systems. It sheds some light on the recent progress in that field and compares the performance of caloric systems with that of conventional vapour-compression heat pumps for building applications.

Abstract:
Application of 3D technologies to the wide range of Geosciences knowledge domains is well underway. These have been operationalized in workflows of the hydrocarbon sector for a half-century, and now in mining for over two decades. In Geosciences, algorithms, structured workflows and data integration strategies can support compelling Earth models, however challenges remain to meet the standards of geological plausibility required for most geoscientific studies. There is also missing links in the institutional information infrastructure supporting operational multi-scale 3D data and model development. Canada in 3D (C3D) is a vision and road map for transforming the Geological Survey of Canada's (GSC) work practice by leveraging emerging 3D technologies. Primarily the transformation from 2D geological mapping, to a well-structured 3D modelling practice that is both data-driven and knowledge-driven. It is tempting to imagine that advanced 3D computational methods, coupled with Artificial Intelligence and Big Data tools will automate the bulk of this process. To effectively apply these methods there is a need, however, for data to be in a well-organized, classified, georeferenced (3D) format embedded with key information, such as spatial-temporal relations, and earth process knowledge. Another key challenge for C3D is the relative infancy of 3D geoscience technologies for geological inference and 3D modelling using sparse and heterogeneous regional geoscience information, while preserving the insights and expertise of geoscientists maintaining scientific integrity of digital products. In most geological surveys, there remains considerable educational and operational challenges to achieve this balance of digital automation and expert knowledge. Emerging from the last two decades of research are more efficient workflows, transitioning from cumbersome, explicit (manual) to reproducible implicit semi-automated methods. They are characterized by integrated and iterative, forward and reverse geophysical modelling, coupled with stratigraphic and structural approaches. The full impact of research and development with these 3D tools, geophysical-geological integration and simulation approaches is perhaps unpredictable, but the expectation is that they will produce predictive, instructive models of Canada's geology that will be used to educate, prioritize and influence sustainable policy for stewarding our natural resources. On the horizon are 3D geological modelling methods spanning the gulf between local and frontier or green-fields, as well as deep crustal characterization. These are key components of mineral systems understanding, integrated and coupled hydrological modelling and energy transition applications, e.g. carbon sequestration, in-situ hydrogen mining, and geothermal exploration. Presented are some case study examples at a range of scales from our efforts in C3D.

Abstract:
Natural gas is the largest primary energy source in the United States. Reliance on natural gas is only increasing as its role in electricity systems becomes more significant and that of coal diminishes. While this has air quality and health benefits over the use of coal, the global warming potential of methane - the primary component of natural gas - cannot be ignored. In order to mitigate methane leaks, periodic leak detection and repair programs are required in the United States. Various different technologies exist to detect and/or quantify methane leaks. Studying them and evaluating their performance is an important step in evaluating equivalence in emissions reductions between technologies. In this study, we evaluate the performance of two optical gas imaging cameras. The first is the FLIR GF320, an infrared camera, which we coupled with the Providence Photonics QL320 to enable it to quantify methane leaks. The second is the Rebellion Photonics mini-GCI, a hyperspectral imaging camera, which provides automated alerts when a leak is detected. Experiments to test the two systems were carried out at the Methane Emissions Technology Evaluation Center in Fort Collins, Colorado over two weeks. We tested both technologies at a variety of leak size and imaging distance combinations. In order to better simulate real-world conditions, we also tested the performance of the two systems in the presence of different types of interference. For the first technology, we evaluate the quantification performance and for the second, the detection performance. We report performance metrics at different distances, interference scenarios and leak sizes in the case of Rebellion. The two technologies differ in terms of automation, detection and quantification capabilities, imaging distance and minimum observable leak size.

Abstract:
Theoretically considering velocities greater than c implies considering an observer’s past and extends the overall analysis into the complex plane. By using a series of rotations by i in the complex plane, one can create a four-lobed structure of “instants of time,” which together with considering matter and antimatter in the lobes and the +/- sense of the rotation, leads to a Higgs field representation of space and time. A 10x10 metric is developed for this system as well as a generalized spacetime interval. It is also shown that the Friedmann Equations are consistent with our “Higgs Cosmology” if generalized to a set of coupled equations that connect the forward and backward going solutions. Simple solutions for the forward and backward going universes are presented, and are shown to be consistent with the backward solution providing both inflation and a “cosmological constant” type of dark energy, Dark matter is also discussed and is hypothesized to be due to the mass of the four “Higgs sectors” as seen through the lens of relativity by an observer in our universe. A PowerPoint presentation on this work is presented at the end of the report as a supplement.

Abstract:
Noise levels radiated from the exterior of a pipe wall can significantly contribute to the overall noise levels on the site of a gas plant and at neighboring properties. The noise inside the piping is generated both by the gas compressor itself, and by the flow of gas through valves, elbows and fittings. Sound inside the pipe couples to the pipe wall by exciting vibration modes, some of which are radiated from the exterior of the pipe into the air. Piping is geometrically circular, which provides it with considerable increased stiffness versus a flat plate, and thereby assists in its ability to contain low frequency sound inside the pipe. At high frequencies, where the wavelength of sound is short compared to the dimensions of the pipe, the response of the pipe approaches that of a flat plate, and considerably more sound is transmitted. Between the low and high frequency ranges lies the ring frequency, at which the wavelength of sound is equal to the circumference of the pipe; at this resonant frequency, a maximum amount of noise is transmitted out the pipe wall. For smaller pipe sizes, the ring frequency occurs above 5 kHz. For larger pipe sizes on the order of 24 inches to 36 inches, the ring frequency occurs in the range 1 kHz to 3 kHz. These frequencies fall in the most audible range of the sound spectrum. Low frequency sound is not usually of concern for pipe radiated noise, unless the source generates considerably low frequency energy. Acoustical lagging systems typically include one or more layers of porous insulation, to absorb sound and decouple vibration, and one or more layers of an impervious, heavy barrier material to contain the sound. The test configurations for this study were based on systems reported as commonly being used by PRCI member companies. Most of the member companies use fixed-in-place lagging configurations in which the various materials are applied in discrete layers to the pipe during installation. Self-contained, removable blanket systems are also in use by some member companies instead of fixed-in-place configurations, or around equipment such as valves where periodic removal of the lagging is necessary. This study provides a review of acoustic lagging systems for above ground gas piping to minimize noise.
