The modular multilevel converter is a promising converter technology for various high-voltage high-power applications. Despite the apparent simplicity of the circuit, the inherent dynamics of the converter and the balancing of the sub-module capacitor volt ...
The switching of medium voltage electrical motors is typically realized by means of vacuum circuit breakers (VCBs) essentially in view of their elevated number of switching cycles. As known, switching of VCBs generates important transient recovery voltages ...
This paper investigates and models Gate Induced Drain Leakage (GIDL) for a wide variety of high voltage devices with different low doped drain (LDD) structures. Based on TCAD simulations, we propose semi-analytical a pseudo-2D model for Gate induced Drain ...
A novel near-IR charge-transfer complex, as a D-π-A-type mol., has a lateral anchoring group and a flexible long carbon chain that replaces the Me group of the donor part of the mol. This carbon chain seems to prevent the formation of mol. aggregates on th ...
Mixed alkyl/fluoroalkyl phosphonic acid self-assembled monolayers have been prepared as ultra-thin dielectrics in low-voltage organic thin-film transistors and complementary circuits. Mixed monolayers enable continuous threshold-voltage tuning simply by ad ...
A new approach to the configuration and operation of electrical distribution networks is proposed. Traditionally, the medium-voltage part of the electrical grid is operated in a centralized and static manner. In the context of electric sector deregulation ...
Multilevel voltage source inverters where first introduced in the early 1980s. Since then, they have been continuously developed, offering a wide new research area in power electronics. The popularity of multilevel solutions come from the advantages that t ...
In this paper a High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission system is proposed, based on using three level three phase (3L3P) converters, coupled through a specific transformer connection in order to benefit from natural and selective harmonic cancella ...
In the automotive industry, there is a strong trend that has increased the electronics in cars for various functions like fuel injection, electric control of doors and windows, electric chair adjustment, air conditioning etc. The 12V battery used in the pr ...
Three new triethoxysilanes bearing quaternary ammonium alkyl iodides are reported, N,N,N-triethyl-3-(triethoxysilyl)propan-1-aminium iodide 1, N,N,N-triheptyl-3-(triethoxysilyl)propan-1-aminium iodide 2 and N,N,N-tridodecyl-3-(triethoxysilyl)propan-1-amini ...
