Electronics Emulation for Real-Time Fault Location in Power Systems

François Pierre Gaugaz

This research presents a high-speed hardware platform dedicated to emulate electrical power networks for the fault location. The solution implements an algorithm based on the Electromagnetic Time-Reversal (EMTR) principle, which allows locating faults in v ...

A transparent silk-fibroin-based triboelectric microgenerator for airflow energy harvesting

Jürgen Brugger, Xiao Sheng Zhang, Ya Wang, Yinben Guo

We present a new transparent high-performance triboelectric microgenerator (TEMG) based on an emerging material, silk fibroin. Silk fibroin has a strong ability to lose electrons and occupies a top-level positive position in the triboelectric series. It th ...

Effect of State Feedback Coupling and System Delays on the Transient Performance of Stand-Alone VSI With LC Output Filter

Francisco Daniel Freijedo Fernández, Federico De Bosio

The influence of state feedback coupling in the dynamics performance of power converters for stand-alone microgrids is investigated. Computation and pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) delays are the main factors that limit the achievable bandwidth of current regul ...

Capacitance behavior of InAlN Schottky diodes in presence of large concentrations of shallow and deep states related to oxygen

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Marcel Py, Lorenzo Lugani

The capacitance-voltage-temperature characteristics of nonintentionally doped In0.16Al0.84 N/n+- GaN Schottky diodes were measured at 1 MHz and in the 90–400 K range. They are discussed in the framework of existing theories, which properly treat the Poiss ...
