Low-rank approximation techniques are useful approaches to reduce the computational effort required by integral equations methods. Here, two different libraries based on hierarchical-matrices and hierarchically semi-separable matrices are applied to the partial element equivalent circuit method for the study of high-frequency electromagnetic problems. The academic case of a dielectric sphere and the study of a complex device used in thermonuclear fusion science are considered in order to compare the performances of the two libraries.

This paper describes concentrated discharges on polluted insulators in the laboratory and in the field. The authors have observed the concentrated discharges at the high-voltage laboratories in Stuttgart, Zittau, and Mannheim, Germany, and Wroclaw, Poland. The concentrated discharges were also documented under natural conditions. These discharges are very dangerous especially for high-voltage apparatus, bushings, and polymer insulators. It has been shown that due to uneven voltage distribution at very low surface conductivity, the concentrated discharges can ignite even under uniformly polluted and uniformly wetted insulators

Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) constitute nowadays a promising alternative to lithium ion batteries for powering portable devices. The effective design of power-management units for interfacing DMFCs requires accurate models able to account for variable-load conditions and fuel consumption. A dynamic nonlinear circuit model for passive methanol fuel cells is presented in this paper. The model takes into account mass transport, current generation, electronic and protonic conduction, methanol adsorption, and electrochemical kinetics. Adsorption and oxidation rates, which mostly affect the cell dynamics, are modeled by a detailed two-step reaction mechanism. The fully coupled multiphysics equivalent circuit is solved by assembling first-order differential equations into a nonlinear state-variable system in order to simulate the electrical evolution of the fuel cell from its initial conditions. The fuel-cell discharge and methanol consumption are computed by combining mass-transport and conservation equations. As a result, the runtime of a DMFC can be predicted from the current load and the initial methanol concentration.
