To be able to supply small farms or house equipments being off the grid, the use of wind generator could be a good solution. Wind power can be harvested and transformed into electrical power. To be able to use it at our convenience, storage is necessary an ...
This paper presents an inductive power link for remote powering of a wireless cortical implant. The link includes a Class-E power amplifier, a gate driver, an inductive link, and an integrated rectifier. The coils of the inductive link are designed and opt ...

Many electric power generators use gas turbines as power sources. Typically they are connected to the turbines through a mechanical gearbox in order to adapt their synchronous speed to the optimal rotation speed of the turbine, which is very often much hig ...
The self-switching principle is a synthesis of synchronous type switching and switch inner protection mechanisms. Both switch ON and switch OFF are performed on the base of current and voltage measurement across the switch. Applied to an active bidirection ...
Solar blind detectors based on AlGaN heterostructures grown on sapphire by Molecular Beam Epitaxy and with a dielectric interference filter deposited on the back side are demonstrated to provide record spectral selectivity. Rejection ratios of 2 x 10(4), a ...
This paper presents a family of three transformerless converters (buck, boost and buck-boost) with two specific characteristics: the quadratic static gain as a function of the duty cycle ratio, and the division of the higher voltage level between the two s ...
Control structures and strategies have a critical influence on a power electronic converter’s behavior during disturbances. Most of the previous works in the field of pulsewidth modulation voltage-source converter (VSC) operation under unbalanced condition ...
The transient and static behavior of an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) are analyzed through finite elements simulations and physically based equations. The standard model using a bipolar transistor driven by a MOSFET is abandoned for three partia ...
Power Factor Corrected rectifiers are a new tendency in development of power supplies. In the last few years, a lot of R&D activities have led to a new category of products for one-phase applications. In this contribution, a new simplified topology is prop ...
