Multi–body dynamics analysis of power train judder oscillations considering aggregate dynamics
Torsional oscillations in an open power train during start–up process are commonly called judder or clutch judder. Due to the rotational–translational coupling of tyres and body the longitudinal acceleration of the car passengers is, according to the appearing magnitudes, affected in a way that their driving comfort may be disturbed notably. Main subject of this paper is the ...

Optimisation design of an energy management strategy for hybrid vehicles
This paper presents an innovative method to analyse and design an optimal energy management strategy for a power-split power train hybrid vehicle. A hybrid dynamical system theory is introduced to formulate the problem of hybrid vehicle control system design that incorporates both continuous and discrete dynamics. The sequential quadratic programming method is proposed to optimise power ...

Improving simulator training of NPP personnel
It is common practice to have a full-scope training simulator for a specific plant or for a group of similar plants. However, use of a Full-Scope Simulator (FSS) for training is not always effective. It becomes more effective if a modular training scheme and more simple simulators are used for pre-FSS training.Keywords: NPP personnel training, simulator training, full-scope simulators, nuclear ...

The role of the international integration of nuclear education, nuclear knowledge management and education in providing the basis for the future renaissance of nuclear energy
For Russia, nuclear technologies serve as the basis for economic, energy and political security. However, there are some challenges that significantly inhibit nuclear growth and development. One of these challenges is the shortage of qualified personnel. In the Russian nuclear sector there has been no systematic approach to workforce training and re-education until now. One of the most effective ...

Power excursion of the training and research reactor of Budapest University
A three-dimensional neutronic code POWEX-K has been developed, and it has been coupled with the subchannel thermal-hydraulic core analysis code MI based on the momentum integral model. This forms the integrated neutronic/thermal hydraulics code system POWEX-K/MI for the accident analysis of the training and research reactor at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME Reactor). An ...

Utilities and the Auto Industry: A Romance That’s Meant to Be
In 1882, Thomas Edison opened the first power plant, and 8 years later, William Morrison released the first electric car in the United States. The electric utility and auto industry were born and the two would dabble with the idea of working together. Henry Ford, a good friend of Thomas Edison, wanted to build an electric vehicle (EV) version of the Model T. He told the New York Times in 1914 ...
