Materials strategy and resources Sample Clauses

Materials strategy and resources. In the SEAFP studies, the principal strategic materials issues were related to the choices of blanket. The two reference designs, XXXXXXX-W and XXXXXXX-H, specified a low- activation martensitic steel (with nominal composition 0.1C-9Cr-2W-0.2V-0.07Ta) as the structural material of their blankets. As well as having expected desirable physical properties in fusion conditions, the activation of these steels by fusion neutrons is much lower than that of conventional steels. These steels have been developed and extensively tested in recent years, though not, of course, in fusion-specific conditions. The blanket concepts of XXXXXXX-W and XXXXXXX-H are based on the blankets that have been successfully developed within the European fusion programme. In addition to XXXXXXX-W and XXXXXXX-H, other conceptual designs, distinguished by blankets based on advanced materials, were studied at a lower level of detail in order to assess their potential merits. The structural material employed for one of these blankets was a vanadium alloy with composition V-4Cr-4Ti. The remaining blanket concepts made use of silicon carbide composite, either as structural material or as thermal insulation. Vanadium alloys and silicon carbide composites are presently available, but would need additional development and characterisation to become suited for fusion power plants. The assumed compositions of the blanket structural materials varied at different stages during the SEAFP series of studies, reflecting the substantial progress being made, both within and outside the world fusion programme, on material development. Results appropriate to the most recent compositions are normally reported here. For reasons related to the physics of plasma-surface compatibility, plasma-facing surfaces of the blankets and divertors are covered with a thin layer of an “armour” material. Both beryllium and tungsten were considered and assessed as alternatives for this role. Another materials variant concerned the composition of the steel/water in-vessel shield and the vacuum vessel: stainless steel 316 and a low activation, manganese-based, alternative austenitic steel, OPTSTAB, were used as alternates. The availability at acceptable cost of an abundant supply of fuels and materials for a future extensive fusion power economy is, in principle, an important strategic consideration. For the fuel deuterium, many studies have shown that there are no conceivable resource problems. Existing known resources of lith...

  • Engineer Resources The Engineer shall furnish and maintain quarters for the performance of all services, in addition to providing adequate and sufficient personnel and equipment to perform the services required under the contract. The Engineer certifies that it presently has adequate qualified personnel in its employment for performance of the services required under this contract, or it will be able to obtain such personnel from sources other than the State.

  • Electric Storage Resources Developer interconnecting an electric storage resource shall establish an operating range in Appendix C of its LGIA that specifies a minimum state of charge and a maximum state of charge between which the electric storage resource will be required to provide primary frequency response consistent with the conditions set forth in Articles 9.5.5, 9.5.5.1, 9.5.5.2, and 9.5.5.3 of this Agreement. Appendix C shall specify whether the operating range is static or dynamic, and shall consider (1) the expected magnitude of frequency deviations in the interconnection; (2) the expected duration that system frequency will remain outside of the deadband parameter in the interconnection; (3) the expected incidence of frequency deviations outside of the deadband parameter in the interconnection; (4) the physical capabilities of the electric storage resource; (5) operational limitations of the electric storage resources due to manufacturer specification; and (6) any other relevant factors agreed to by the NYISO, Connecting Transmission Owner, and Developer. If the operating range is dynamic, then Appendix C must establish how frequently the operating range will be reevaluated and the factors that may be considered during its reevaluation. Developer’s electric storage resource is required to provide timely and sustained primary frequency response consistent with Article 9.5.5.2 of this Agreement when it is online and dispatched to inject electricity to the New York State Transmission System and/or receive electricity from the New York State Transmission System. This excludes circumstances when the electric storage resource is not dispatched to inject electricity to the New York State Transmission System and/or dispatched to receive electricity from the New York State Transmission System. If Developer’s electric storage resource is charging at the time of a frequency deviation outside of its deadband parameter, it is to increase (for over-frequency deviations) or decrease (for under-frequency deviations) the rate at which it is charging in accordance with its droop parameter. Developer’s electric storage resource is not required to change from charging to discharging, or vice versa, unless the response necessitated by the droop and deadband settings requires it to do so and it is technically capable of making such a transition.
