16. Study of a Direct Conversion of Wind Energy into Electricity

Mme Elodie Verzeroli (Doctorant)

Particle Physics

Oral Presentation

The increasing global demand for energy and the consideration of environmental constraints have rekindled the interest for various forms of renewable energy production modes, including wind energy. In addition to the traditional wind turbines, the new idea is to convert wind energy directly into electrical energy without any moving parts. The principle of direct conversion is actually quite...

26. Adaptive Multilevel Splitting for Monte Carlo particle transport

M. Henri Louvin (CEA)

Particle Physics

Oral Presentation

In the Monte Carlo simulation of for particle transport, and especially for shielding applications, variance reduction techniques are widely used to help simulate realisations of rare events, and reduce the relative errors on the estimated scores for a given computation time. Adaptive Multilevel Splitting (or AMS) is one of these variance reduction techniques that has recently appeared in the...
