Energetic Macroscopic Representation of A Linear Reciprocating Compressor Model
Alfred Rufer, François Gallaire, Philippe Barrade, Mahbod Heidari
This article introduces the energetic macroscopic representation (EMR) as approach for the dynamic nonlinear modeling of a reciprocating air compressor. EMR has been introduced recently for research development in complex electromechanical systems and is b ...
Elsevier2015Control of a Modular DC-DC Converter Dedicated to Energy Storage
Alfred Rufer, Philippe Barrade, Émilien Luc Henri Coulinge
A DC-DC converter system is presented based on an Input-Series/Output-Parallel Dual Active Bridge structure, in a full modular design. The association of 4 elementary modules leads to a one stage DAB. The proposed converter is dedicated to interface a DC-v ...
2015Multiport Resonant DC-DC Converter
Drazen Dujic, Yan-Kim Tran, Philippe Barrade
his paper presents a multiport galvanically isolated LLC resonant DC-DC converter suitable for DC applications. A three-port structure is analyzed, with full bidirectional power flow capabilities, simple control and behavior similar to that expected from a ...
2015Voltage Step-Up Converter based on Multistage Stacked Boost Architecture (MSBA)
Alfred Rufer, Philippe Barrade, Gina Kristin Steinke
A non-isolated DC-DC converter is presented, based on the current diverter principle. The converter is foreseen for larger photovoltaic plants or other DC collection networks for renewable energy sources. The topology allows the DC-DC conversion as step-up ...
2014Non-Isolated DC-DC Converters for High Power Appli-cations - Control of the Capacitive Voltage Divider
Alfred Rufer, Philippe Barrade
A non-isolated DC-DC converter is presented, based on the current diverter principle. The converter is foreseen for large power electronic applications where normally the converters are fed from DC supplies at a typical voltage level of around one or two k ...
2014Optimal Energy Management Strategy of an Improved Elevator With Energy Storage Capacity Based on Dynamic Programming
Alfred Rufer, Philippe Barrade
Efficiency and energy consumption reduction are becoming a key issue in elevation applications. Energy Storage Systems (ESS) can play a significant role in this field, together with their associated Energy Management Strategy (EMS) to optimize the overall ...
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers2014Renewable energy systems for racing sailboats - From simulations to an experimental device
Alfred Rufer, Philippe Barrade
Providing racing sailboats with renewable energy sources deals with boat performances, reliability and skipper’s security. In this study, an innovative solution is presented to feed a sailboat with green energy by using a hydro-generator. This paper also i ...
2013Fail-safe Modular Control Platform for Power Electronic Applications in R&D Environments
Alfred Rufer, Simon Delalay, Philippe Barrade, Nicolas Cherix
This paper presents a modular control platform which is tailored for teaching and research applications. It aims at being entirely “student-proof” and features software-independent safety mechanisms, extensive signal conditioning and easy-to-use interfaces ...
2013New Parametric Model of Medium-Frequency Single-Active-Bridge Converters
Alfred Rufer, Philippe Barrade, Asier Garcia Bediaga, Irma Villar, Alejandro Rujas
This paper presents a new parametric model of a single-active-bridge (SAB) converter with a variable number of phases. The soft-switching behavior and the design of snubbers are also analyzed. The analytical study is validated using PLECS simulation softwa ...
2013Energetic Macroscopic Representation of a Hybrid Elevator – Considerations on Strategies for Energy Management
Alfred Rufer, Philippe Barrade
Accumulators are inserted on the DC bus of a conventional elevator, to increase its efficiency and limit the power demand on the main feeding grid. In the process that enable the identification of the control of such a system, The Energetic Macroscopic Rep ...
