Equalizer system and method for series connected energy storing devices

Patent Rouillard, Jean [Saint-Luc, CA]; Comte, Christophe [Montreal, CA]; Hagen, Ronald A [Stillwater, MN]; ...

An apparatus and method for regulating the charge voltage of a number of electrochemical cells connected in series is disclosed. Equalization circuitry is provided to control the amount of charge current supplied to individual electrochemical cells included within the series string of electrochemical cells without interrupting the flow of charge current through the series string. The equalization circuitry balances the potential of each of the electrochemical cells to within a pre-determined voltage setpoint tolerance during charging, and, if necessary, prior to initiating charging. Equalization of cell potentials may be effected toward the end of a charge cycle or throughout themore » « less

Thermal management system and method for a solid-state energy storing device

Patent Rouillard, Roger [Beloeil, CA]; Domroese, Michael K [South St. Paul, MN]; Gauthier, Michel [La Prairie, CA]; ...

An improved electrochemical energy storing device includes a number of thin-film electrochemical cells which are maintained in a state of compression through use of an internal or an external pressure apparatus. A thermal conductor, which is connected to at least one of the positive or negative contacts of each electrochemical cell, conducts current into and out of the electrochemical cells and also conducts thermal energy between the electrochemical cells and thermally conductive material disposed on a wall structure adjacent the conductors. The wall structure includes electrically resistive material, such as an anodized coating or a thin film of plastic. Themore » « less

In-situ fault detection apparatus and method for an encased energy storing device

Patent Hagen, Ronald A [Stillwater, MN]; Comte, Christophe [Montreal, CA]; Knudson, Orlin B [Vadnais Heights, MN]; ...

An apparatus and method for detecting a breach in an electrically insulating surface of an electrically conductive power system enclosure within which a number of series connected energy storing devices are disposed. The energy storing devices disposed in the enclosure are connected to a series power connection. A detector is coupled to the series connection and detects a change of state in a test signal derived from the series connected energy storing devices. The detector detects a breach in the insulating layer of the enclosure by detecting a state change in the test signal from a nominal state to amore » « less

Systems and methods for harvesting and storing materials produced in a nuclear reactor

Patent Heinold, Mark R.; Dayal, Yogeshwar; Brittingham, Martin W.

Systems produce desired isotopes through irradiation in nuclear reactor instrumentation tubes and deposit the same in a robust facility for immediate shipping, handling, and/or consumption. Irradiation targets are inserted and removed through inaccessible areas without plant shutdown and placed in the harvesting facility, such as a plurality of sealable and shipping-safe casks and/or canisters. Systems may connect various structures in a sealed manner to avoid release of dangerous or unwanted matter throughout the nuclear plant, and/or systems may also automatically decontaminate materials to be released. Useable casks or canisters can include plural barriers for containment that are temporarily and selectivelymore » « less
