It is the most exciting time for power electronics in decades. The combination of new applications, such as microinverters, electric vehicles and solid state lighting, with the new opportunities brought by wide bandgap semiconductors is expected to signifi ...
This paper proposes a power converter architecture for the implementation of an ultra-fast charging station for electric vehicles (EVs). The versatile converter topology is based on the concept of the Power Electronic Transformer (PET). For the direct tran ...

The Confluence Collective in partnership with the Municipal Library of Lyon organizes moments of discussion and debate where young researchers present, confront and criticize their work in social sciences, humanities and arts. The reduction in individual m ...
Nowadays, there is a very high number of electronic devices with different ranges of power. Desktop peripherals and cellphones are an example of widely used low power devices. Contactless power transfer is useful to supply or recharge these devices without ...
To meet the targets of sustainable development and greenhouse emission reduction of the future vehicles fleet, the automotive industry needs to deploy cost-competitive and efficient advanced energy conversion systems for the future commercial personal vehi ...
This paper proposes a novel Plug-and-Play (PnP) dynamic approach for the monitoring of Large-Scale Systems (LSSs). The proposed architecture exploits a distributed Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) methodology for nonlinear LSS in a PnP framework. The LS ...
This paper proposes a novel stochastic Fault Detection (FD) approach for the monitoring of Large-Scale Systems (LSSs) in a Plug-and-Play (PnP) dynamic scenario. The proposed architecture considers stochastic bounds on the measurement noises and modeling un ...
This paper reports on a numerical analysis of methods for current injection into AlInGaAs/InP tunnel-junction electrically pumped vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting lasers. The tunnel junction is patterned to minimize the current crowding effect and ...
Electric vehicle-sharing systems have been introduced to a number of cities as a means of increasing mobility, reducing congestion, and pollution. Electric vehicle-sharing systems can offer one or two-way services. One-way systems provide more flexibility ...
This article presents an innovative concept for alternative hybridization, without electrical devices. The concept is studied on a C-Segment vehicle with targeted prices between 27,000 and 34,000 euros. Short term hybrid pneumatic energy storage and a wast ...
