Extreme environments such as helium circulators (Next Generation Nuclear Plant) and sodium and liquid salt pumps (Advanced Reactor Concepts and Small Modular Reactor programs) include high temperatures (700+ degrees Celsius), material compatibility challenges, requirements to reduce maintenance associated with lubricated and moving parts, pump seals, and material degradation. These environments require high reliability, control, diagnostics, and prognostic capabilities. The environmental conditions and system requirements create the need for new instrumentation and sensing methods for control and system diagnostics. The Sensors and Controls Team in the Measurement Science and Systems Engineering Division at ORNL is pursuing measurement methods for a canned rotor cooling pump design for fluoride-salt-cooled high temperature reactor applications. These measurement methods require consideration of the various pump materials, environmental conditions, application requirements, mechanical design, electrical design, and motoring and bearing electromagnetics to facilitate successful measurements.

In the current practice of power system monitoring and control, different devices are separately designed to perform different functions. Power systems measurement devices collect data and communicate it to a data concentrator for processing. Intelligent electronic devices (IED) are designed independently to perform different protection functions. Different providers of the IED use different communication protocols. The bulkiness, cost, and communication requirements of implementing the monitoring, control and protection functions independently can be avoided by designing a new generation of smart power devices that implement these functions inside a standalone single device. This paper discusses the design, development, and testing of a low cost integrated intelligent Phasor measurement unit (IIPMU) that integrates the functions of data acquisition, state estimation, and protection and control in the same stand alone device.

State awareness for a control system is the accurate knowledge of the internal states of the system realization. By definition, a cyber-attacker decreases the state awareness by modifying or removing the information available to the operator and control system. By decreasing state awareness, the attacker can directly cause damage to the physical system through the control system, or indirectly by causing the operator to react in a damaging manner to the false information. One of the central problems of resilient control is developing methods to retain the minimal state awareness necessary to continue stable operation during a cyber-attack. The characterization of the necessary minimal state awareness is currently an unanswered question. In this paper, we will define state awareness, discuss the consequences of loss of state awareness, and some potential research directions for maintaining state awareness.

Superconducting power lines, field windings, motors, and generators offer significant potential reductions in size, weight, and power loss for high current and high magnetic field applications. To avoid damaging these superconductors, adequate cable cooling is required during high current loads. Luna's fiber optic distributed temperature sensing technology (based on Rayleigh backscatter) has recently demonstrated cryogen monitoring capabilities down to 15 K over 20 m sensor lengths, providing real time characterization of cryogen flow transients and temperature distributions within flexible cryostats used to cool superconducting cables.

Opportunities exist for energy efficiency improvement and greenhouse gas emission reduction in fossil energy based electrical power generation through deployment of embedded sensors operating at extreme temperatures and under harsh conditions. Despite inherent advantages of optical based sensors, published literature discussing optical sensing materials is limited for temperatures of operation greater than 500°C. A clear need exists for additional fundamental and applied research efforts. Published literature discussing sensor materials for high temperature optical chemical sensing applications are reviewed and research opportunities / needs are highlighted.

Fabrication of 3D mechanical structures is sometimes achieved by layer-wise printing of inks and resins in conjunction with treatments such as photonic curing and laser sintering. The non-treated material is typically dissolved leaving the final 3D part. Such techniques are generally limited to a single material which makes it difficult to integrate high resolution, conformal electronics over part surfaces. In this paper, we demonstrate a novel, non-contact technique for printing conformal circuits called Aerosol Jet printing. This technique creates a collimated jet of aerosol droplets that extend 2-5 mm from the nozzle to the target. The deposited features can be as small as 10 microns or as large as a centimeter wide. A variety of materials can be printed such as metal nanoparticle inks, polymers, adhesives, ceramics, and bio-active matter. The print head direction and XYZ positioning is controlled by CAD/CAM software which allows conformal printing onto 3D substrates having a high level of surface topography. For example, metallic traces can be printed into 3D shapes such as trenches and via holes, as well as onto sidewalls and convex and concave surfaces. We discuss the fabrication of a conformal phase array antenna, embedded circuitry and sensors, and electronic packaging.

Analysis and Measurement Services (AMS) Corporation has been conducting two research projects focused on understanding cable aging and developing cable condition monitoring technologies for nuclear power plants. The goal of the first project is to develop a cable aging management program to correlate the aged condition of a cable with condition monitoring techniques that can identify and locate aging in the cable's polymer material as well as faults that may occur in the conductor. This project involves laboratory experiments using low and medium voltage cable types typically installed in nuclear power plants. The second project is focused on development of an integrated cable condition monitoring system for nuclear facilities. This system integrates a number of cable testing and cable condition monitoring techniques, such as time domain reflectometry (TDR), frequency domain reflectometry (FDR), inductance, capacitance, resistance (LCR), reverse TDR (RTDR), voltage, waveform acquisition, current-to-voltage (IV) for testing of nuclear instrumentation sensors, and insulation resistance (IR). The purpose of the project is to combine all proven technologies into one system to detect and pinpoint problems in cable circuits as well as cable insulation, shield, or jacket material.
