Numerical computation of the energetic criterion at isothermal and thermal-mechanical cyclic tests under generalized plasticity of the F17TNb stainless steel

International audienceThe aim of this work is to investigate the energetic integral J criterion in generalized plasticity of the F17TNb at isothermal and Thermal Mechanical Fatigue (TMF) tests using a numerical simulation. An optimization of the constitutive law based on mechanical results was carried out using ABAQUS standard solver. Isothermal tests showed that ΔJ evolution is higher at lower temperature (300 °C) and a has a linear dependence at log-log presentation with da/dN at 300 °C. TMF tests simulation showed that Out of Phase (OP) configuration is more damaging than In Phase (IP) tests. A comparison between OP and isothermal tests highlighted the greater value of ΔJ at isothermal tests

Regular paper Review of Different MPPT techniques for a Photovoltaic Generation System

International audienceThe Photovoltaic (PV) panel characteristic is nonlinear and depends on solar irradiation and temperature cell variation. Consequently, a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm is necessary to obtain the maximized produced energy from the PV. The main purpose of MPPT technique is to guarantee that the maximum power is produced. This allows to extract the maximum power instantaneously. This paper is aimed to study the performance of different MPPT techniques. These techniques are tested while the temperature was randomly varied. The simulation results are evaluated via Matlab-Simulink
