Design and Implementation of the SAX, a Robotic Measurement System for On-Chip Antennas at 140-325 GHzPontusson, Magnus January 2018 (has links)
There is currently a demand of mm‑wave on‑chip antennas to enable all kinds of new applications in several different areas. But the development requires, among other things, special equipment used during the measurement phase due to the small dimensions and the high frequencies. In this project a robotic measurement system, SAX (Single Arm eXtra), was designed and constructed at Micro and Nanosystems (MST) department at KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden). The purpose of the SAX is to enable radiation pattern measurements of on‑chip antennas ( 140 GHz to 325 GHz ), whether the boresight is vertical or horizontal along with other requirements, by moving a converter with the measurement antenna around the antenna in question. Several alternative designs for the basic construction, both from other works and invented by the author, were analyzed based on the requirements for this project and other limitations. The chosen unique design, the SAX, is very compact and uses only one stepper motor. Several parts have been developed in this project to ensure the proper functionality of the SAX. That includes a main operator program, a motor input signal generating program, a motor input signal executing system, a security system, and a system for controlled rotation of the SAX. For the input signal to the motor two different algorithms to generate the time delays were developed and tested. They were adapted to make the motor manage the sweeps of an ever‑changing load with high inertia during acceleration and deceleration. One of them was developed to make the time delay array generation much more efficient albeit with larger approximation error. The SAX worked well and should be rather easy‑to‑use regarding the operation of the system, from the physical maneuvering to utilizing the sub‑systems to the running of the main operator program. It fulfilled the specific requirements by enable a cross pattern measurement from -60° to +60° both from above and from the side, adjustment of the radius between 15cm to 45cm , adjustment 10cm in height, to be rotated along the floor in steps of 1°, measurement steps of 1° with an accuracy of less than 0,5° (the largest error was measured to be ≤ 0,461°). However, some calibration work needs to be done before the optimal performance of the system is reached. As a verification of the operation of the system data from measurements of open‑ended waveguides was presented. / Det finns en efterfrågan på chipantenner för millimetervågor eftersom de kan möjliggöra allehanda produkter inom flera olika områden. Forskningen på dessa ställer dock bl.a. speciella krav på utrustning som används under testmätningsfasen p.g.a. de små dimensionerna och den höga frekvensen. I detta projekt har ett robotsystem, SAX (Single Arm eXtra), utformats och konstruerats på avdelningen för Mikro- och nanosystem på KTH. Syftet med SAX är att mäta högfrekventa chipantenner ( 140 GHz till 325 GHz ) genom att förflytta en frekvensomvandlare med tillhörande mätantenn i en cirkulär bana runt antennen ifråga, oavsett om den är riktad vertikalt eller horisontellt och givet andra kravspecifikationer. Flera designalternativ för den grundläggande konstruktionen, både från andras arbeten och framtagna av författaren själv, har analyserats utifrån kravspecifikation för detta projekt och andra begränsningar. Den valda unika designen, SAX, är väldigt kompakt och använder sig bara av en stegmotor. För att möjliggöra funktionen i den slutgiltiga produkten har flera delar tagits fram vilka inkluderar ett operatörsprogram, ett program för genererandet av motorstyrsignaler, ett program för motorstyrning, ett säkerhetssystem och ett rotationssystem för kontrollerad rotation av SAX. För genererandet av motorstyrsignaler i form av tidsfördröjda pulser framtogs två olika algoritmer. De ger anpassade accelerations- och retardationssignaler för att motorn ska klara av att förflytta en föränderlig last med stor tröghet. En av dessa framtogs med syfte att mycket effektivt generera pulstiderna om än med större approximationsfel. SAX fungerade tillfredsställande och torde vara ganska lättanvänd med tanke på vad systemet kräver av operatören, från att fysiskt manövrera systemet till att använda delsystemen till att använda operatörsprogrammet. Systemet uppfyllde de givna specifika kraven genom att möjliggöra mätningar i form av ett kryssmönster från -60° till +60° både ovanifrån och från sidan, radiejustering från 15cm till 45cm , höjdjustering över 10cm , rotation över golvet i steg om 1° , mätningar i steg om 1° med en noggrannhet på 0,5° (den största avvikelsen uppmättes till ≤ 0,461°). Vidare kalibrering behöver dock utföras för att utnyttja den fulla potentialen hos konstruktionen. För att verifiera funktionsdugligheten för systemet presenterades data från mätningar gjorda på öppna vågledare.

Dynamisk jämförelseanalys av FE-modell och fältmätning : Baserad på Folke Bernadottes bro / Dynamic comparison analysis of FE model and field measurement : Based on Folke Bernadotte's bridgeWahlroos, Ajje, Khalil, Mohammed January 2021 (has links)
Dagens planering och projektering av konstruktioner präglas av ett resursutnyttjande, miljömässigt och ekonomiskt tänk, där resultatet kan medföra brister med avseende på dynamiken. Därmed är det ytterst viktigt att skapa goda förutsättningar för noggranna beräkningsmodeller som i ett projekteringsskede kan representera konstruktionernas dynamiska beteende. I denna rapport utfördes en jämförelseanalys mellan en FE-modell och en fältmätning, där Folke Bernadottes bro har använts som underlag. Syftet är att presentera skillnader och likheter i naturliga frekvenser och modformer baserat på jämförelseanalysen, samt belysa några av de viktigaste faktorerna bakom dessa. Resultatet visade för en kalibrerad FE-modell 11 % genomsnittlig skillnad för de naturliga frekvenserna och 99 % överensstämmelse med avseende på modformerna, där den mest väsentliga parametern i modellen var upplagsvillkoren. / Today's planning and design of constructions is characterized by a resource utilization, environmental and economic thinking, where the result can lead to shortcomings with regard to dynamic behaviour. Thus, it is extremely important to create good conditions for accurate calculation models that in a design phase can represent the dynamic behaviour of the structures. In this report, a comparison analysis was performed between an FE-model and a field measurement, where Folke Bernadotte's bridge has been used as basis. The purpose is to present differences and similarities in natural frequencies and mode shapes based on the comparative analysis, and to highlight some of the most important factors behind these. The result showed for a calibrated FE-model an average difference of 11 % for the natural frequencies and 99 % agreement with respect to the mode shapes, where the most important parameter in the model was the support conditions.

Complete Measurement System for Measuring High Voltage and Electrical Field Using Slab-Coupled Optical Fiber SensorsStan, Nikola 01 January 2018 (has links)
A slab-coupled optical fiber sensor (SCOS) falls into a narrow class of all-dielectric optical fiber electric field sensors, which makes it a perfect candidate for measurements of high electric fields in environments where presence of conductors is highly perturbing to the system under test. Its nonlinear response to high fields requires a new nonlinear calibration technique. A nonlinear calibration method is explained and demonstrated to successfully measure high electric fields, as well as high voltages with dynamic range up to 50 dB. Furthermore, a SCOS can be fitted into narrow spaces and make highly localized measurements due to its small size. This allows a SCOS to be integrated inside a standard high voltage coaxial cable, such as RG-218. Effects of partial discharge and arcing is minimized by development of a fabrication method to avoid introduction of impurities, especially air-bubbles, into the cable during SCOS insertion. Low perturbation of the measured voltage is shown by simulating the introduced voltage reflections to be on the order of –50 dB. It is also shown that a SCOS can be inserted into other cables without significant perturbation to the voltage. A complete high voltage and high electric field measurement system is built based on the high-voltage modifications of the SCOS technology. The coaxial SCOS is enhanced for robustness. Enhancements include packaging a SCOS into stronger ceramic trough, strengthening the fiber with kevlar reinforced furcation tubing and protecting the sensor with metal braces and protective shells. The interrogator is protected from electromagnetic interference with an RF-shielded box. Reduction in power losses introduced by the new PANDA-SCOS technology allows interrogator bandwidths to be increased up to 1.2 GHz. The whole measurement process is streamlined with dedicated software, developed specifically for high voltage and electric field measurements with support for the nonlinear calibration.

Load Shifting and Storage of Cooling Energy through Ice Bank or Ice Slurry Systems : modelling and experimental analysisGrozdek, Marino January 2009 (has links)
Ice based Cool Thermal Energy Storage (CTES) systems have attracted much attention during last few decades. The reasons are mainly of economical and environmental nature. Compared to conventional refrigeration and air-conditioning systems without cool thermal energy storage, implementation of CTES will increase environmental standards and overall efficiency of the energy systems as it contributes to the phase-out of synthetic refrigerants and reduces peak loads in electricity grids. For the application of a cool thermal energy storages in refrigeration installations and HVAC systems in industry and building sector, it is necessary to have appropriate design tools in order to sufficiently accurate predict their performance. In this thesis theoretical and experimental investigations of two ice based cool thermal energy storage systems, namely static, indirect, external melt, ice-on-coil, i.e. ice bank system and dynamic, ice slurry cool thermal energy storage system are carried out. An ice bank storage technology for cooling purposes is known for a long time. The main drawbacks which are hindering its wider use are the system complexity, high first costs, system efficiency which is highly dependant on design, control and monitoring of the system, etc. On the other hand, ice slurry technology was not well studied until recently, while in the current scientific literature there are still differences between results and conclusions reported by different investigators. The aim of the present thesis is to extend the knowledge in the field of ice based CTES systems, thereby contributing in the development and wider utilization of those systems. In the first part of the thesis a computer application, named “BankaLeda” is presented. It enables simulation of an ice bank system performance. In order to verify developed simulation model an experimental evaluation has been performed. Field measurements have been conducted on a two module silo which was installed as a part of the refrigeration system in dairy and cheese factory “Antun Bohnec” in the city of Ludbreg in Croatia. Experimental findings were compared to the simulation model. The software „BankaLeda“ presents a strong optimization tool for designers and engineers in the field by providing a high degree of freedom in defining particular system design and operating parameters. It offers a basis for assessment and testing of a new energy efficient system arrangements and measures. Besides it will give decisionmakers the ability to test potential solutions in the process of CTES system design. In the second part of the thesis ice slurry pressure drop and heat transfer in horizontal straight tubes have been experimentally investigated. In particular a mixture of 10.3 % of ethanol and water with an initial freezing point of -4.4 °C was considered. It was found that the behaviour of ice slurry flow is changing with time and that ice slurry pressure drop is generally higher than for single phase flow. However for ice concentrations of 15 % and higher, for certain velocities ice slurry pressure drop is found to be of a similar value as for single phase fluid. Moreover, if ice slurry is to be used as a energy transport media it is recommended to keep the ice mass fraction at a level of 20 %. With tube geometry and thermophysical properties of a carrier fluid the heat transfer of ice slurry is generally a function of ice mass fraction and velocity. The imposed heat flux has no or has just minor influence on the heat transfer coefficient. Up to ice mass fraction between 10-15 % the mean heat transfer coefficient shows only slight (laminar flow) or no increase (turbulent flow) in comparison to single phase flow. Beyond that ice mass fraction the heat transfer coefficient is increasing significantly. The test data for pressure drop and heat transfer in laminar and turbulent regime was compared to several correlations from the literature. A new correlations for ice slurry pressure drop and heat transfer in the laminar flow regime, for 10.3 % ethanol and water mixture, were derived based on the present experimental data. The correlation for pressure drop predicts 82 % of the experimental data with ±15 % accuracy, while the correlation for heat transfer predicts 75 % of the data with the same accuracy. In order to investigate advantages and disadvantages of a dynamic, ice slurry system over a static, indirect, external melt, ice-on-coil CTES system and to assess their differences from economical aspects, a theoretical simulation model of an ice slurry CTES have been developed. It was found that the ice slurry based CTES systems posses higher economic and energy saving potential than static type systems. In the best case scenario the total energy consumption of dynamic CTES system was found to be approximately 25 % lower than for a static CTES system. / QC 20100715

Caractérisation, modélisation et identification de sources de champ magnétique dans un véhicule électrique / Characterization, Modeling and Identification of magnetic field sources inside an electric vehiclePinaud, Olivier 13 November 2014 (has links)
Le véhicule électrique rassemble beaucoup d'équipements électrotechniques. Tous sont potentiellement source de champ magnétique dans l'habitacle : zone confinée où se trouvent les passagers. Il est illusoire de réaliser un modèle numérique complet tant le nombre de paramètres est important. Il est également impossible de placer des capteurs de champ partout à l'intérieur de l'habitacle. Après une étude approfondie des caractéristiques du champ magnétique mesuré dans l'habitacle, nous proposons d'allier modèle a priori et mesure de champ dans une approche Bayésienne du problème inverse. Basée sur le développement en harmonique sphérique du champ, l'apport d'information a priori oriente la solution et permet l'identification de nombreux paramètres avec très peu de mesure. / Electric vehicles have a lot of electrical devices onboard. All of them may generate electromagnetic field inside the car: a quite small space containing the passengers. A complete modeling of the vehicle can hardly be done because of the parameters number. The magnetic field measurement everywhere inside the car is also impossible. We first measure the magnetic field inside the car to study its characteristics. Then we propose to merge together a priori modeling with measurements into a Bayesian approach of the inverse problem. Based on spherical harmonic decomposition of the magnetic field, a priori information helps the resolution and gives the identified parameters with a very few measurements.

Uncertainty management in parameter identification / Gestion des incertitudes pour l'identification des paramètres matériauSui, Liqi 23 January 2017 (has links)
Afin d'obtenir des simulations plus prédictives et plus précises du comportement mécanique des structures, des modèles matériau de plus en plus complexes ont été développés. Aujourd'hui, la caractérisation des propriétés des matériaux est donc un objectif prioritaire. Elle exige des méthodes et des tests d'identification dédiés dans des conditions les plus proches possible des cas de service. Cette thèse vise à développer une méthodologie d'identification efficace pour trouver les paramètres des propriétés matériau, en tenant compte de toutes les informations disponibles. L'information utilisée pour l'identification est à la fois théorique, expérimentale et empirique : l'information théorique est liée aux modèles mécaniques dont l'incertitude est épistémique; l'information expérimentale provient ici de la mesure de champs cinématiques obtenues pendant l'essai ct dont l'incertitude est aléatoire; l'information empirique est liée à l'information à priori associée à une incertitude épistémique ainsi. La difficulté principale est que l'information disponible n'est pas toujours fiable et que les incertitudes correspondantes sont hétérogènes. Cette difficulté est surmontée par l'utilisation de la théorie des fonctions de croyance. En offrant un cadre général pour représenter et quantifier les incertitudes hétérogènes, la performance de l'identification est améliorée. Une stratégie basée sur la théorie des fonctions de croyance est proposée pour identifier les propriétés élastiques macro et micro des matériaux multi-structures. Dans cette stratégie, les incertitudes liées aux modèles et aux mesures sont analysées et quantifiées. Cette stratégie est ensuite étendue pour prendre en compte l'information à priori et quantifier l'incertitude associée. / In order to obtain more predictive and accurate simulations of mechanical behaviour in the practical environment, more and more complex material models have been developed. Nowadays, the characterization of material properties remains a top-priority objective. It requires dedicated identification methods and tests in conditions as close as possible to the real ones. This thesis aims at developing an effective identification methodology to find the material property parameters, taking advantages of all available information. The information used for the identification is theoretical, experimental, and empirical: the theoretical information is linked to the mechanical models whose uncertainty is epistemic; the experimental information consists in the full-field measurement whose uncertainty is aleatory; the empirical information is related to the prior information with epistemic uncertainty as well. The main difficulty is that the available information is not always reliable and its corresponding uncertainty is heterogeneous. This difficulty is overcome by the introduction of the theory of belief functions. By offering a general framework to represent and quantify the heterogeneous uncertainties, the performance of the identification is improved. The strategy based on the belief function is proposed to identify macro and micro elastic properties of multi-structure materials. In this strategy, model and measurement uncertainties arc analysed and quantified. This strategy is subsequently developed to take prior information into consideration and quantify its corresponding uncertainty.

Tracking and modelling small motions at grain scale in granular materials under compression by X-Ray microtomography and discrete simulations / Matériaux granulaires en compression quasi-statique : étude des petites déformations par microtomographie X et par simulation numérique discrèteKhalili, Mohamed Hassan 03 November 2016 (has links)
Le travail réalisé durant cette thèse a été motivé par l'étude des mécanismes microscopiques à l'origine du fluage dans les matériaux granulaires.%En particulier, on cherche à explorer des techniques expérimentales et numériques pour l'étude d'un tel phénomène.Dans une première partie, on cherche à mesurer les déplacements des grains dans un matériau granulaire par observations en micro-tomographie X. Une telle identification ne peut être efficacement réalisée pour des phénomènes rapides avec les méthodes classiques de corrélation d'images numériques. Une nouvelle méthode nommée emph{corrélation discrète des projections numériques} qui contourne cette difficulté est développée dans cette thèse. Cette méthode, basée sur la corrélation des projections de tomographie, permet de mesurer les déplacements avec un nombre réduit de projections (100 fois moins que les méthodes classiques), ce qui diminue énormément le temps d'acquisition nécessaire pour la mesure. La méthode, appliquée à des données expérimentales, donne une précision comparable à celles des méthodes classiques tandis que le temps d'acquisition nécessaire est réduit à quelques minutes. Une étude portant sur l'analyse des sources d'erreurs affectant la précision des résultats est également présentée.Le but de la deuxième partie est de réaliser des simulations numériques pour fournir une caractérisation de l'essai oedométrique. Différents assemblages de billes de verre légèrement poly-disperses interagissant à travers des contacts élastiques de Hertz-Mindlin et frottement de Coulomb ont été utilisés. Ces simulations ont permis d'étudier l'évolution de certains paramètres structuraux du matériau modèle, préparant ainsi le terrain pour de futures études sur le fluage. Il a été particulièrement souligné que les contacts élastiques utilisés dans ces simulations ne reproduisent pas l'irréversibilité des déformations observée dans les expériences sur des sables. Cependant, l'irréversibilité est bien visible sur le nombre de coordination et l'anisotropie. Alors que les paramètres élastiques peuvent exprimer la réponse pour des petits incréments de déformations, la compression oedometrique est belle et bien anélastique, principalement à cause de la mobilisation du frottement. Le rapport entre les contraintes horizontales et verticales (coefficient du sol au repos) n'est particulièrement constant que lorsque l'anisotropie de structure est instaurée dans l'état initial de l'assemblage. Il est par ailleurs relié à l'anisotropie interne de la structure par une formule simple. Finalement, les coefficients du tenseur élastique dépendent principalement du nombre de coordination et son anisotropie est plus liée à l'anisotropie des contacts qu'à celle des forces / The present work is motivated by the study of creep in granular materials at the microscopic scale.The first part of this thesis deals with displacement measurements by microtomography. Classical digital image correlation fails to catch time-dependent (possibly fast) phenomena such as short-term creep. A new method named emph{Discrete Digital Projection Correlation} is developed to overcome this limitation. This method requires very few projections (about 100 times less than classical methods) of the deformed state to perform the correlation and retrieve grain displacements. Therefore, the acquisition time is remarkably reduced, which allows to study time-dependent phenomena.The method is tested on experimental data. While its accuracy compares favorably to that of conventional methods, it only requires acquisition times of a few minutes. The origins of measurement errors are tracked by numerical means, on simulated grain displacements and rotations.The second part is a numerical simulation study, by the Discrete Element Method (DEM), of oedometric compression in model granular materials, carried out with a simple model material: assemblies of slightly polydisperse spherical beads interacting by Hertz-Mindlin contact elasticity and Coulomb friction. A wide variety of initial states are subject to compression, differing in density, coordination number and fabric anisotropy. Despite apparently almost reversible strains, oedometric compression proves an essentially anelastic and irreversible process,due to friction, with important internal state changes affecting coordination number and anisotropy. Elastic moduli only describe the response to very small stress increments about well equilibrated configurations. The ratio of horizontal stress to vertical stress (or coefficient of earth pressure at rest, commonly investigated in soil mechanics) only remains constant for initially anisotropic assemblies. A simple formula relates it to force and fabric anisotropy parameters, while elastic moduli are mainly sensitive to the latter. Further studies of contact network instabilities and rearrangements should pave the way to numerical investigations of creep behavior

Performance Analysis of CO2 Heat Pumps in Different ApplicationsThanggavelu, Jaykumar January 2022 (has links)
This study focuses on researching the performance of CO2 heat pumps in different real-time applications and in some studies, it compares the performance to synthetic and other natural refrigerants based on heat pump data provided from buildings. The research on the performance of the CO2 heat pump is performed based on Sweden's climatic conditions. The study consists of four different case studies each focusing on the CO2 heat pump used for four different buildings. The first study evaluates the performance of air source CO2 heat pump installed in a residential building and performs cost benefit in comparison to district heating energy consumption. The second study investigates the performance of the air source CO2 heat pump for the district heating application and compares the same with other refrigerant heat pumps. The refrigerants compared with include Ammonia (R-717), Propane (R-290), R-134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane). The third study examines the performance of air source CO2 heat pumps in a commercial building with the field measured data obtained directly from the heat pump sensors through the online portal “itop”. The fourth study analyses the performance of a CO2 heat pump with that of a propane (R-290) heat pump for a commercial swimming pool application. The study is performed using a simulation model created using Microsoft Excel Sheets and Cool Prop add-in, a thermophysical property database. The simulation model makes use of formulae of heat pumps to analyse the performance of the heat pump systems. The climatic data for Stockholm is taken from ASHRAE IWEC 2 database. The results of the study show advantages of CO2 heat pumps when used for combined purposes like space heating, space cooling and domestic hot water over the heat pumps using other refrigerants for their operation, as these refrigerants when operated at high condensation temperature led to low Coefficient of Performance (COP). The first study on residential building CO2 heat pumps showed a cost savings of about 116,000 kr per year even in high-pressure operations concerning the annual cost of district heating, which is about 30% of the total cost district heating with auxiliary equipment. The study also examined the energy saving over the usage of an ejector used in the heat pump which reached an average energy saving of 8%. The second study shows the dominance of the performance of CO2 over other refrigerants for district heating purposes. The third study indicates the performance of the CO2 heat pump in the application using real-time measure data. The fourth study illustrates an increase in overall COP of about 10% from the CO2 heat pump in comparison to that of propane refrigerant for swimming pool application. These results show that when the domestic hot water demand is higher, the CO2 heat pump performs better than other refrigerants specifically because the COP of other refrigerants is lower at high condensation temperatures. / Denna studie fokuserar på att undersöka prestandan hos CO2-värmepumpar i olika realtidsapplikationer och i vissa studier jämför den prestandan med syntetiska och andra naturliga köldmedier baserat på värmepumpsdata från byggnader. Forskningen kring CO2-värmepumpens prestanda utförs utifrån Sveriges klimatförhållanden. Studien består av fyra olika fallstudier som var och en fokuserar på CO2-värmepumpen som används för fyra olika byggnader. Den första studien utvärderar prestandan hos luftkällans CO2-värmepump installerad i ett bostadshus och ger kostnadsfördelar jämfört med energiförbrukningen för fjärrvärme. Den andra studien undersöker prestandan hos luftkällans CO2-värmepump för fjärrvärmeapplikationen och jämför densamma med andra köldmedievärmepumpar. Köldmedierna jämfört med inkluderar ammoniak (R-717), propan (R-290), R-134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoretan). Den tredje studien undersöker prestandan hos luftkällans CO2-värmepumpar i en kommersiell byggnad med fältuppmätta data som erhålls direkt från värmepumpens sensorer via onlineportalen "itop". Den fjärde studien analyserar prestandan hos en CO2-värmepump med den hos en propan (R-290) värmepump för en kommersiell simbassängapplikation. Studien utförs med hjälp av en simuleringsmodell skapad med Microsoft Excel Sheets och Cool Prop-tillägget, en termofysisk egenskapsdatabas. Simuleringsmodellen använder formler för värmepumpar för att analysera värmepumpsystemens prestanda. Klimatdata för Stockholm är hämtade från databasen ASHRAE IWEC 2. Resultaten av studien visar fördelarna med CO2-värmepumpar när de används för kombinerade ändamål som rumsuppvärmning, rumskylning och tappvarmvatten jämfört med värmepumpar som använder andra köldmedier för sin drift, eftersom dessa köldmedier när de används vid hög kondensationstemperatur ledde till låg koefficient prestanda (COP). Den första studien om bostadshus CO2-värmepumpar visade en kostnadsbesparing på cirka 116 000 kr per år även i högtrycksdrift avseende den årliga kostnaden för fjärrvärme, vilket är cirka 30 % av den totala kostnaden för fjärrvärme med hjälputrustning. Studien undersökte också energibesparingen jämfört med användningen av en ejektor som används i värmepumpen som nådde en genomsnittlig energibesparing på 8 %. Den andra studien visar dominansen av CO2s prestanda över andra köldmedier för fjärrvärmeändamål. Den tredje studien indikerar CO2-värmepumpens prestanda i applikationen med hjälp av mätdata i realtid. Den fjärde studien illustrerar en ökning av den totala COP på cirka 10 % från CO2-värmepumpen jämfört med den för propan-köldmedium för simbassängapplikationer. Dessa resultat visar att när efterfrågan på tappvarmvatten är högre presterar CO2-värmepumpen bättre än andra köldmedier, särskilt eftersom COP för andra köldmedier är lägre vid höga kondensationstemperaturer.

Contribution à l'évaluation de la technique de génération d'harmonique par faisceau laser pour la mesure des champs électriques dans les circuits intégrés (EFISHG)Fernandez, Thomas 25 September 2009 (has links)
Ce travail contribue à l’évaluation de la technique de génération de seconde harmonique induite par un champ électrique quasi statique, ou technique EFISHG, appliquée au domaine de la microélectronique. Une description du principe de la technique EFISHG, basé sur l’optique non linéaire, permet d’appréhender l’origine physique de cette méthode. Un état de l’art a permis d’identifier deux champs d’applications liés à la microélectronique : l’analyse de défaillance, via la mesure en temps de réelle des variations de champs électriques internes dans les circuits intégrés, et la fiabilité par l’étude du piégeage de charges à l’interface Si/SiO2 et de la dégradation dite de « Negative Bias Temperature Instability » ou NBTI. Ce manuscrit présente les différentes étapes qui ont permis l’élaboration d’un banc de test en vue de l’évaluation de l’applicabilité de la technique EFISHG à ces problématiques. Les résultats expérimentaux obtenus avec ce montage ont permis de mettre en avant les possibilités qu’offre la technique EFISHG à caractériser et à accélérer le vieillissement NBTI. / This work concerns the elaboration of an industrial method for Single Event Effect (SEE) sensitivity testing on integrated circuits. The concerned SEEs are those produced by heavy ions and are mainly Single Event Upset (SEU) and Single Event Latchup (SEL). The original test approach chosen in this study relies on the use of infrared laser pulses striking the backside of the tested device. Laser pulse and heavy ion interaction with semiconductor materials are described and a presentation of the particle accelerator test and some former laser test methods is also given. Advantages and drawbacks of those two techniques are discussed. The developed experimental setup uses a near infrared fiber coupled Neodyme/YAG pulsed laser. Its different elements are described. Using this tool to characterise the SEU sensitivity of several modern SRAMs has allowed to define a test methodology. Its efficiency is discussed and illustrated by different experimental results.
