Impact of synchronous condensers on fault location and black start in multi-inverter isolated microgrids

Synchronous condensers have been used in power systems for decades, but they are now attracting interest as a potential means for solving certain issues associated with inverter-based resources in islanded power systems. They have been extensively studied in applications to large wind farms and weak grids, but there has been very little study of synchronous condensers in intentionally-islanded systems, and especially self-healing ones. This report documents the results of an LDRD project intended to create modeling tools for use in the study of synchronous condensers in these smaller off-grid systems, and to explore synchronous condensers in this application. The results indicate that synchronous condensers have the potential to provide many benefits, but there are also several unanswered questions and technical challenges requiring further study.

Quantum materials for nanosensing and fault-tolerant quantum computing

New concepts of symmetry related to topological order emerged from the discovery of the fractional quantum Hall effect and high-temperature superconductivity in strongly correlated electron systems. This led to the study of quantum materials-- materials exhibiting emergent quantum phenomena with no classical analogues. While these materials have engendered exciting basic materials science and physics, realizing novel devices is a key challenge in the field. The goal of this proposal is to harness the unique properties of topological materials for quantum computing and quantum sensing applications. In this project, we investigated a variety of topological superconducting platforms and identified three technologies that can benefit from their quantum properties: quantum memory, single-photon detection, and non reciprocal electronics. The platforms developed in this work will be broadly useful to National Security and Basic Science.
