In the frame of the European project UNIFLEX-PM, two AC/AC converter topologies hove been studied and implemented. Both converters, rated for 25 kVA, are isolated by a medium-frequency power transformer. The first topology is based on a dual active bridge ...
The paper describes the design of optimized PCB air-core toroids for high frequency DC-DC converters with strict requirements in terms of volume and noise. The effect of several design parameters on the overall inductor volume, on DC and AC winding resista ...
Rotor-flux-oriented control of multiphase induction machines with sinusoidal magnetomotive force (MMF) distribution can be realized theoretically by using only two current controllers in the synchronous reference frame. In practice, however, this is inadeq ...
A new technique, Amplifier and Comparator Based Switched Capacitor (ACBSC) for low voltage switched cap circuits, is presented. ACBSC combines the recently introduced CBSC (comparator based switched capacitor circuit) with an amplifier. The current sources ...
A magnetic field sensor for measuring a direction of a magnetic field in a plane comprises a sensing structure (4) comprising a ring-shaped well (10), a plurality of contacts (11) of equal size placed at equal distance from each other along the ring-shaped ...
Multilevel inverter applications have become more and more common. Multilevel topologies have now to serve new purposes, and interest is rising in new application fields. Recent multilevel technologies have the potential to significantly reduce the size of ...

This contribution presents control methods for the regulation of the voltage and the frequency on AC minigrids, fed by voltage source inverters (VSI). In order to avoid a complex communication network for the synchronization of the various VSI on a minigri ...
Nowadays, the scarcity of cheap energy sources requires a particular effort in optimizing the performance of all conversions. The electric power vector is particulary expected to grow in importance, in conjunction with the development of renewable energy s ...
Medium-voltage conversion systems, such as traction and grid-connected converters, are continuously evolving toward higher power densities. Consequently, volume, weight, and material reductions are becoming major design issues, which lead the research focu ...
This paper introduces a microelectronic emulation approach for high-speed power system computation. First, the problems of existing power system simulators are detailed. This shows that microelectronic emulation is a possible solution for the speed problem ...
