Abstract: Systems and techniques that facilitate scalable thermal energy recycling for cryogenic systems are provided. In various embodiments, a system can comprise at least one cryostat. In various aspects, the system can further comprise a thermal battery coupled to the at least one cryostat by a thermal exchange system. In various instances, the thermal battery can be configured to store thermal energy extracted from the at least one cryostat or to supply thermal energy to the at least one cryostat.

Abstract: Systems and/or methods provided herein relate to cooling of a component within a chamber of a cryostat. A system can comprise a cryostat having a cooling plate disposed within the cryostat, and a cooling feed line extending into the cryostat from external to the cryostat, which cooling feed line is thermally coupled to the cooling plate by a heat exchanger. In one or more embodiments, the system further can comprise a bulk cooling system that employs a liquifiable gas to provide cooling, wherein the bulk cooling system is fluidly coupled to the cooling feed line. In one or more embodiments, the system further can comprise a vacuum pump disposed at the cooling return line and external to the cryostat and physically decoupled from the cryostat by a section of the cooling return line disposed between the cryostat and the vacuum pump.

Abstract: A system for controlling a wind turbine is disclosed. A system includes a light source and a beam scanner to scan the light pulses over the wind turbine. The system further receives backscattered light pulses and subsequently, provides a signal corresponding to the light pulses. The system adjusts a threshold of the signal based on a normalized value of a detected peak value of the signal. The system associates a time of flight with each of the received backscattered light pulse. The system generates an image of the wind turbine based on the time of flight associated with the light pulses and subsequently, compares the generated image with at least one known image of the wind turbine. The system generates a health profile of the wind turbine based on the comparison and subsequently, change one or more parameters of the wind turbine based on the health profile.
