Abstract

International audience; Abstract:This paper details an extraction procedure to fully model the transient self-heating of transistors from a GaN HEMT technology. Frequency-resolved gate resistance thermometry (f-GRT) is used to extract the thermal impedance of HEMTs with various gate widths. A fully scalable analytical model is developed from the experimental results. In the second stage, transient thermoreflectance imaging (TTI) is used to bring deeper insights into the HEMTs' temperature distribution by individually extracting the transient self-heating of each finger. TTI results are further used to successfully validate the f-GRT results and the modeling of the thermal impedance. Overall, f-GRT is demonstrated to be a fast and robust method for characterizing the transient thermal characteristics of a GaN HEMT. For the first time to the authors' knowledge, a scalable model of the thermal impedance is extracted fully from experimental results.

Abstract

International audience; In this work, we propose to study and design a coil used to magnetize, by means of a Pulsed Field Magnetization (PFM) process, an inductor of a radial flux superconducting machine with one pair of poles. Each pole contains four similar HTS bulks of 30 mm diameter arranged in a square pattern. The cryostat already exists for this application and the temperature of the HTS bulks can vary from 4.2 K to their critical temperature, in transient state. For a given primary source of energy, here a capacitor bank of 10 kJ (5 mF, 2 kV) is available, the PFM process depends strongly on the value of the coil inductance used to generate pulsed field, because it defines the waveform of the current: peak value and time constant. Thus, 3D modeling of the coil is required in order to be sure that its inductance and the magnetic field produced will provide a full magnetization of HTS bulks. From the practical point of view, we would like to achieve an average magnetization of each pole around 3 T. In this paper, numerical modeling of coils with different number of turns coupled with circuit's equations is achieved. The maximum magnetic field obtained on the HTS bulks and estimated magnetization at the top center of each HTS bulk, are presented and discussed.

Abstract

International audience; Anaerobic digestion enables waste (water) treatment and energy production in the form of biogas. The successful implementation of this process has lead to an increasing interest worldwide. However, anaerobic digestion is a complex biological process, where hundreds of microbial populations are involved, and whose start-up and operation are delicate issues. In order to better understand the process dynamics and to optimize the operating conditions, the availability of dynamic models is of paramount importance. Such models have to be inferred from prior knowledge and experimental data collected from real plants. Modeling and parameter identification are vast subjects, offering a realm of approaches and methods, which can be difficult to fully understand by scientists and engineers dedicated to the plant operation and improvements. This review article discusses existing modeling frameworks and methodologies for parameter estimation and model validation in the field of anaerobic digestion processes. The point of view is pragmatic, intentionally focusing on simple but efficient methods.
