Broadband Access Network

Cloud-integrated wireless optical broadband (CIW) access networks inheriting advantages of cloud computing, wireless and optical access networks have a broad prospect in the future. Due to failure of components like OLT level, ONU level, link or path failure and cloud component level in CIW, survivability is becoming one of the important issues. In this paper, we have presented cloud-integrated wireless-optical broadband access network with survivability using integer linear programming (ILP) model, to minimize the number of cloud components while providing maximum backup paths. Hence, we have proposed protection through cloud-integrated wireless router to available ONUs (PCIWRAO). So, evaluated the backup path computation. We have considered ONU level failure in which the affected traffic is transferred through wireless routers and cloud component to the available ONUs using Manhattan distance algorithm. Simulation results show different configurations for different number of routers and cloud components illustrating available backup path when ONU fails.

In this article, I introduce and evaluate the use of messy map interviews. Based on messy situational maps, messy map interviews is an interview tool I have developed to facilitate understanding of elements pertinent to interviewees. I present and evaluate how the tool contributes to interview studies that aim to describe and analyse elements pertinent to interviewees. This is done by use of an exemplar of working with messy map interviews, exploring parental decision-making about human papillomavirus vaccination. Based on the results, the study shows that messy map interviews can help keep qualitative research loyal to what interviewees ascribe relevance to. Furthermore, the tool can potentially help nuance the analysis of how elements are understood by interviewees. The article concludes that messy map interviews can be a useful mapping tool that keeps interviewees’ perspectives in focus in interview studies.

Tritium Transport

This work continues the development of a numerical model to simulate transient tritium transport on the breeder zone (BZ) level for the EU helium-cooled pebble bed (HCPB) concept for DEMO. The basis of the model is the open-source field operation and manipulation framework, OpenFOAM. The key output quantities of the model are the tritium concentration in the purge gas and in the coolant and the tritium inventory inside the BZ structure. New model features are briefly summarized. As a first relevant application a simulation of tritium transport for a single pin out of the KIT HCPB design for DEMO is presented. A variety of scenarios investigates the impact of the permeation regime (diffusion-limited vs. surface-limited), of an additional hydrogen content of 300 Pa H2 in the purge gas, of the released species (HT vs. T2), and of the choice of species-specific rate constants (recombination constant of HT set twice as for H2 and T2). The results indicate that the released species plays a minor role for permeation. Both permeation and inventory show a considerable dependence on a possible hydrogen addition in the purge gas. An enhanced HT recombination constant reduces steel T inventories and, in the diffusion-limited case, also permeation significantly. Scenarios with 80 bar vs. 2 bar purge gas pressure indicate that purge gas volumetric flow is decisive for permeation.

The reliability of photovoltaic (PV) generators is strongly affected by the performance of Direct Current/Alternating Current (DC/AC) converters, being the major source of PV underperformance. However, generally, their reliability is not investigated at component level: thus, the present work presents a reliability analysis and the repair activity for the components of full bridge DC/AC converters. In the first part of the paper, a reliability analysis using failure rates from literature is carried out for 132 inverters (AC rated power of 350 kW each) with global AC power of 46 MW in a large scale grid-connected PV plant. Then, in the second part of the work, results from literature are compared with data obtained by analyzing industrial maintenance reports in the years 2015–2017. In conclusion, the yearly energy losses involved in the downtime are quantified, as well as their availability.

Engine Concept

ABSTRACT This paper presents a performance analysis on a novel engine concept, currently under development, in order to achieve hybrid air-breathing rocket technology. A component-level approach has been developed to simulate the performance of the engine at Mach 5, and the thermodynamic interaction of the different working fluids has been analysed. The bypass ramjet duct has also been included in the model. This facilitates the improved evaluation of performance parameters. The impact of ram drag induced by the intake of the engine has also been demonstrated. The whole model is introduced into a multi-platform application for aeroengine simulation to make it accessible to the interested reader. Results show that the bypass duct modelling increases the overall efficiency by approximately 7%. The model calculates the specific impulse at approximately 1800 seconds, which is 4 times higher than any chemical rocket.
