This paper presents the results of thermal modeling of a unique 69 kV 3000A Solid State Fault Current Limiter (SSFCL) developed by Silicon Power of Malvern, PA with support of EPRI. The development of the Solid State Fault Current Limiter is expected to modernize power distribution systems through the use of small-scale solid-state power devices. The use of this new design is expected to increase reliability and functionality while reducing footprint. However, as the footprint is reduced, the heat flux for the system is increased, leading to the significant possibility of device failure due to thermal excursions if the heat load is not properly managed. The high heat loading requires the use of aggressive thermal management in the form of liquid cooling of the electronics. This system features 288 kW of waste heat in the three phase system. The system is submerged in FR3 dielectric coolant and the desired thermal management system is liquid natural convection within the tank and shed to the ambient through an external finned array system. This project explores the feasibility of this system design.

Very few studies measured the settlement of retaining wall supported piles foundation under a soil movement. This study explores the pile settlement induced from the sudden breakdown of a closely located retaining wall using a small-scale experimental model. Various factors affect the pile settlement, but the influence of the embedment ratio of the pile and collapsed height of the retaining wall is relatively more visible. The induced settlement decreases with pile embedment depth and increases with the collapsed height of the retaining wall. The pile settlement initially increases at a higher rate with an increase in the collapsed height to a certain extent, beyond which, becomes relatively less observable. Pile group settlement reduces with the increase in spacing and the number of piles in longer piles. However, opposite trends have been observed in piles with a smaller embedment ratio. The settlement reduces logarithmically with the increase in the distance between piles and the retaining wall. Pile groups with small embedment ratio are severely more affected by the breakdown of the retaining wall than the piles of a large embedment ratio. Pile groups placed parallel to the retaining wall are more affected than those placed orthogonally.
