Existing inverter designs are not well-suited for use with high-speed generators due to the IGBTs used as switching elements, which are not fast enough. SiC FETs offer a lower switching time compared to IGBTs, which is key to working with high-frequency ma ...
The bidirectional LLC resonant converter operated at fixed switching frequency is a preferable candidate for a true dc transformer that does not actively control the power flow. This is due to its naturally stiff voltage ratio regardless of the imposed loa ...
Nowadays electrical energy generation is an important topic discussed in the society. Since technologies like wind or solar energy generation are most of the time placed far away from the city centres one point to focus on is the transmission of the energy ...
A multiport medium voltage (MV) isolated DC-DC converter with integrated energy storage, suited for connection of low voltage (LV) and medium voltage (MV) DC grids is presented. A multi-stage structure, adapted for MV ratings, is composed of multiple ident ...
Efficient DC-DC power-conversion with wide-span voltage-regulation is crucial to a sustainable and robust power electronics system. Dual-active-bridge (DAB) offers straight-forward regulation and its transformer enables voltage step-up/down required for ma ...
This paper presents a multi-port isolated DC-DC converter for DC applications. A three-port structure is presented, characterized with full bidirectional power flow and simple control. Galvanic isolation is achieved by means of a multi-winding medium frequ ...
Many applications are limited by the performance of the motors that power them. In the small power range, slotless BLDC motors are commonly used due to their intrinsic high power density and smooth torque characteristic. However, recent work has shown that ...
