This paper presents a preliminary work on a resonant circuit, also called AC-dipole. The resonance frequency of the circuit is changed by the mean of a variable capacitor connecting an inductor. For this purpose, a bank of switched capacitors of different ...

The paper presents a generalised approach towards the development of the space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) for sinusoidal output voltage generation with two-level multiphase voltage source inverters (VSIs), where the number of phases is an odd nu ...
This work presents a current converter topology with an added free-wheeling path on the output load. This converter allows the compensation of the reactive power consumption by forcing the input current fundamental component to be in phase with the input v ...
This paper addresses the design of a new hybrid MEMS micromotor. It is a small 3-phases axial flux BLDC motor. The stator is realized following the almost CMOS technology rules used for MEMS manufacture and the coils have two copper layers. The rotor is ma ...
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 ...
We perform broadband microwave absorption spectroscopy and explore the switching behavior of 300-nm-wide and 20-nm-thick Ni80Fe20 nanowires under irradiation of a magnetic rf field. In particular, we investigate two arrays where the nanowires exhibit a dif ...
This paper presents a recently introduced switching principle for emerging monolithic bidirectional devices. Based on the hypothesis that those switches may overcome conventional diode type solutions in power converters, an active self-switching process be ...

The operation of a vibrating body field effect transistor (VB-FET) near pull-in is exploited to experimentally demonstrate a self-oscillating device. The positive feedback mechanism is triggered at the onset of inversion in a depleted VB-FET channel, near ...
In this paper a High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission system is proposed, based on using three level three phase (3L3P) converters, coupled through a specific transformer connection in order to benefit from natural and selective harmonic cancella ...
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 ...
