Ultra-High-Voltage (7-kV) Bidirectional Flyback Converter Used to Drive Capacitive Actuators
Yves Perriard, Alexis Boegli, Morgan Almanza, Raphaël Johannes Charles Mottet, Lucas Pniak
Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) have extremely advantageous characteristics such as lightness, compactness, flexibility, and large displacements. However, in order to operate, they can require voltages in the order of several thousands of volts. Thus ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2021Ultra High Voltage Switch for Bidirectional DC-DC Converter Driving Dielectric Elastomer Actuator
Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Morgan Almanza, Lucas Pniak
Specific applications, such as dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) or electroactive polymers, require to switch voltage levels exceeding the ratings of existing semiconductor devices. In low power application, reversible flyback are widely used to supply ...
2020Multi-level high-voltage power supply for dea application
Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Morgan Almanza, Lucas Pniak, Lucas Depreux
In order to reap the benefits of Dielectric Elastomer Actuator (DEA) high energy density, the electronics powering the actuator should be as small as possible. Knowing that only a small fraction of the energy delivered to DEAs is effectively converted into ...
