An ORNL invention proposes using 3D printing to make conductors with space-filling thin-wall cross sections. Space-filling thin-wall profiles will maximize the conductor volume while restricting the path for eddy currents induction.
This invention presents an integrated strategy to reduce end-user electricity costs and grid carbon emissions by efficiently utilizing Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and grid-scale electrical energy storage systems, such as batteries.
The invention is related to the implementation of an bi-directional and isolated electric vehicle charger. The bidirectionality allows the electric vehicles to support the grid in case of disturbances thereby reducing the stress on the existing infrastructure.
No readily available public data exists for vehicle class and weight information that covers the entire U.S. highway network. The Travel Monitoring Analysis System, managed by the Federal Highway Administration covers only less than 1% of the US highway network.
This disclosure introduces an innovative tool that capitalizes on historical data concerning the carbon intensity of the grid, distinct to each electric zone.

Electrical utility substations are wired with intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), such as protective relays, power meters, and communication switches.
Multi-terminal DC (MTdc) systems based on high-voltage DC (HVDC) transmission technology is an upcoming concept. In such systems, either asymmetric monopole or bi-pole systems are generally employed. Such systems are not suitable for easy expansion.
Real-time tracking and monitoring of radioactive/nuclear materials during transportation is a critical need to ensure safety and security. Current technologies rely on simple tagging, using sensors attached to transport containers, but they have limitations.
