Controlling power converters is an essential component in maximizing the overall performance of power-conversion systems. Effective management of power converters can lead to enhanced component life, ...

Today's electric vehicles and home renewable energy systems require several types of power converters, each taking up space and raising the cost. While most efforts to improve converters have focused ...

What is a dc microgrid? Different power electronic converter architectures used for microgrids. Microgrids are essentially a network of loads and local power generations (distributed generations), ...

The three-level, three-phase SiC AC-DC architecture. T-type inverter and T-Type inverter with SiC MOSFETs topologies. Totem-pole topology implemented with SiC or GaN. High power density has steadily ...

Scientists have developed a ground-breaking piezoelectric-based DC-DC converter that unifies all power switches onto a single chip to increase power density. This new power topology, which extends ...

A detailed comparison of the response times and overload capabilities of synchronous generators (SGs), grid-forming converters (GFMs), and grid-following converters (GFLs) across different timescales.

This course covers the analysis and design of magnetic components, including inductors and transformers, used in power electronic converters. This course assumes prior completion of ECEA 5700: ...
