Materials Processing & Power Electronics, Materials Discovery & Development by Design for CO2 Capture and Advanced Sensors
Paul Ohodnicki, Kevin Byerly - Materials Processing & Power Electronics
NETL fabricates advanced prototype magnetic material components, including inductors, transformers, motors, and sensors, to support multiple NETL research areas in sensors, fuel cells, and electric grid modernization. This discussion will demonstrate varied fabrication equipment used for raw materials, such as amorphous metal ribbons fabricated by external partners and industry, to produce high-value components. Researchers are then able to test the components using specialized electromagnetic testing equipment in order to provide performance characteristics based on the real operating conditions. Further efforts to benchmark commercial magnetic core solutions against the lab's custom fabrication capabilities are continually investigated and reported on in the form of data sheets.
Materials Discovery & Development by Design for CO2 Capture and Advanced Sensors
Advanced energy systems require affordable cutting-edge materials than can withstand high-pressure, high-temperature, corrosive or otherwise harsh service environments. In this laboratory the development of novel, cost effective materials and devices for use in sensing of fossil energy systems to provide cleaner usage and production of fossil fuels will be discussed. The lab places an emphasis on new sensor material technologies integrated with advanced sensing device platforms to allow for operation under harsh environments and enhanced sensor device functionality. Embedded sensors are under development for applications such as monitoring of CO2 migration and groundwater impacts for CO2 sequestration, corrosion monitoring in wellbores and natural gas pipelines, and in situ process control in high-temperature power generation systems such as Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs), gas turbines, and combustion systems. The laboratory capabilities are also relevant for other high priority emerging needs within DOE including the Grid Modernization Laboratory Consortium as well as process monitoring and control for advanced manufacturing processes.
