Experimental Validation of the Real-Time Control of an Electric-Vehicle Charging Station

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Sherif Alaa Salaheldin Fahmy, Roman Rudnik

The high penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) charging stations (CSs), together with the progressive availability of distributed energy resources, increases the risk of grid overloading and power-quality degradation. Real-time control has been advocated ...

Comprehensive Spectral Analysis of PWM Waveforms With Compensated DC link Oscillations

Drazen Dujic, Stefan Milovanovic

In the available literature, including reference books on the topic, the spectral analysis of voltage waveforms obtained through the use of pulse-width modulation relies on the assumption of an ideally flat voltage across the DC link of a considered switch ...

Liquid electromigration in gallium-based biphasic thin films

Stéphanie Lacour, Hadrien Olivier Michaud

Liquid metals have recently gained interest as a material of choice for soft and stretchable electronic circuits, thanks to their virtually infinite mechanical failure strain and high electrical conductivity. Gallium-based thin films are obtained by deposi ...

Reliability of photovoltaic modules

Eleonora Annigoni

A fundamental challenge with solar energy is improving the reliability, and increasing the lifetime, of photovoltaic modules. Typically, photovoltaic module manufacturers guarantee 80% of the nominal power of their modules for 25 years, but this type of gu ...

Quantifying and Modeling the Impact of Interconnection Failures on the Electrical Performance of Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Modules

Christophe Ballif, Antonin Faes, Jacques Levrat, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Matthieu Despeisse, Eleonora Annigoni

We present an electrical model developed with LT SPICE that simulates the performance of a string of cells with disconnections in the electrical circuit. In a previous contribution, we quantified experimentally how the module performance is affected when o ...
