EPFL2023Hard-Switching Losses in Power FETs: The Role of Output Capacitance
Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Armin Jafari, Palliyage Srilak Nirmana Perera, Reza Soleiman Zadeh Ardebili
For certain field-effect transistors (FETs) in soft-switching operation, the large-signal behavior of their output capacitance ( Co ) has shown to deviate considerably from the datasheet values. This can have a significant effect on hard-switching losses i ...
2021A Modular Multilevel Converter with a Clamping Switch for Quasi-Three-Level Operation
The required module capacitances of modular multilevel converters can be significantly reduced in comparison to conventional operation modes when quasi-two-level operation is applied. Unfortunately, the output voltage distortion becomes similar to those of ...
IEEE2021Automated test setup to quantify the lifetime of dielectric elastomer actuators under a wide range of operating conditions
Herbert Shea, Fabio Beco Albuquerque, Djen Timo Kühnel, Valentin Colin Py
We present an automated test setup for the systematic performance and lifetime evaluation of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs). This setup, called the MAPLE setup, performs accelerated aging tests and allows quantifying how material choice, fabrication ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2021Deexcitation Characterization for Power Supply Protection in DC Shipboard Power Systems
The deexcitation of a synchronous machine has been used for the protection of the power supply based on a diode rectifier in marine dc power distribution networks. The fault current from the generator can be eliminated with the protection method utilizing ...
