Literature Review of Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) and Geomagnetic Disturbance (GMD) Effects on Oil and Gas Pipeline Systems

Kelic, Andjelka; Pierce-Montague, Davyn; Robinett, Logan N.; Stamber, Kevin L.; Guttromson, Ross

This document summarizes the findings of a review of published literature regarding the potential impacts of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and geomagnetic disturbance (GMD) phenomena on oil and gas pipeline systems. The impacts of telluric currents on pipelines and their associated cathodic protection systems has been well studied. The existing literature describes implications for corrosion protection system design and monitoring to mitigate these impacts. Effects of an EMP on pipelines is not a thoroughly explored subject. Most directly related articles only present theoretical models and approaches rather than specific analyses and in-field testing. Literature on SCADA components and EMP is similarly sparse and the existing articles show a variety of impacts to control system components that range from upset and damage to no effect. The limited research and the range of observed impacts for the research that has been published suggests the need for additional work on GMD and EMP and natural gas SCADA components.

LIM1TR: Lithium-Ion Modeling with 1-D Thermal Runaway (V.1.0)

Kurzawski, John C.; Shurtz, Randy C.

LIM1TR (Lithium-Ion Modeling with 1-D Thermal Runaway) is an open-source code that uses the finite volume method to simulate heat transfer and chemical kinetics on a quasi 1-D domain. The target application of this software is to simulate thermal runaway in systems of lithium-ion batteries. The source code for LIM1TR can be found at https://github.com/ajkur/lim1tr. This user guide details the steps required to create and run simulations with LIM1TR starting with setting up the Python environment, generating an input file, and running a simulation. Additional details are provided on the output of LIM1TR as well as extending the code with custom reaction models. This user guide concludes with simple example analyses of common battery thermal runaway scenarios. The corresponding input files and processing scripts can be found in the “Examples” folder in the on-line repository, with select input files included in the appendix of this document.

Optical activation and detection of charge transport between individual colour centres in diamond

Nature Electronics

Lozovoi, Artur; Jayakumar, Harishankar; Vizkelethy, Gyorgy; Bielejec, Edward S.; Doherty, Marcus W.; Flick, Johannes; Meriles, Carlos A.

Understanding the capture of charge carriers by colour centres in semiconductors is important for the development of novel forms of sensing and quantum information processing, but experiments typically involve ensemble measurements, often impacted by defect proximity. Here we show that confocal fluorescence microscopy and magnetic resonance can be used to induce and probe charge transport between individual nitrogen-vacancy centres in diamond at room temperature. In our experiments, a ‘source’ nitrogen vacancy undergoes optically driven cycles of ionization and recombination to produce a stream of photogenerated carriers, one of which is subsequently captured by a ‘target’ nitrogen vacancy several micrometres away. We use a spin-to-charge conversion scheme to encode the spin state of the source colour centre into the charge state of the target, which allows us to set an upper bound to carrier injection from other background defects. We attribute our observations to the action of unscreened Coulomb potentials producing giant carrier capture cross-sections, orders of magnitude greater than those measured in ensembles.

100% Carbon-Free Electricity for Sandia NM and KAFB Using Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) (SAND Report)

Ho, Clifford K.; Bush, Hagan E.; Villa, Daniel L.; Rinaldi, Nicole; Schroeder, Nathaniel R.; Sment, Jeremy N.I.

This report provides a design study to produce 100% carbon-free electricity for Sandia NM and Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB) using concentrating solar power (CSP). Annual electricity requirements for both Sandia and KAFB are presented, along with specific load centers that consume a significant and continuous amount of energy. CSP plant designs of 50 MW and 100 MW are then discussed to meet the needs of Sandia NM and the combined electrical needs of both Sandia NM and KAFB. Probabilistic modeling is performed to evaluate inherent uncertainties in performance and cost parameters on total construction costs and the levelized cost of electricity. Total overnight construction costs are expected to range between ~$300M - $400M for the 50 MW CSP plant and between ~$500M - $800M for the 100 MW plant. Annual operations and maintenance (O&M) costs are estimated together with potential offsets in electrical costs and CO2 emissions. Other considerations such as interconnections, land use and permitting, funding options, and potential agreements and partnerships with Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM), Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), and other entities are also discussed.
