Full-Bridge Fault- Tolerant Isolated DC–DC Converters: Overview of Technologies and Application Challenges

October 14, 2022 by Abualkasim Bakeer

Nowadays, energy generation is on the path from centralized to distributed generation paradigm to improve the efficiency and resilience of power systems. One of the major developments in the energy sector was the introduction of dc microgrids that facilitate direct integration of energy sources, storage, and dc loads. Also, most consumer and industrial devices are naturally dc … [Read more...] about Full-Bridge Fault- Tolerant Isolated DC–DC Converters: Overview of Technologies and Application Challenges

Charging Electric Vehicle Batteries: Wired and Wireless Power Transfer

June 21, 2022 by Hua Kevin Bai; Daniel Costinett; Leon M. Tolbert; Ruiyang Qin; Liyan Zhu; Ziwei Liang; Yang Huang

Due to the environmental concerns about CO2-caused global warming, policymakers are pushing electrified vehicles (EVs) to reduce these emissions. For passenger vehicles only, the electrified fleet is forecasted to reach 80 million in the U.S. and 500 million globally by 2040. Key enablers for such rapid EV adoption include the improvement of battery energy density, lifespan and … [Read more...] about Charging Electric Vehicle Batteries: Wired and Wireless Power Transfer

Driven by Density, Efficiency at Low Cost, Power Integration Reaches New Heights

This article explains how the breakthrough performance of UnitedSiC 750 V Gen 4 SiC FETs enables a simple design of highly efficient totem-pole PFC. Efficiency measurements on the developed unit will demonstrate a 99.3% efficiency rating. Insight into the losses is provided by the new UnitedSiC FET-Jet calculator on-line tool, which are shown to match the actual measurements … [Read more...] about Enabling 99.3% Efficiency in 3.6 kW Totem-Pole PFC Using New 750 V Gen 4 SiC FETs

Cost-Effective Arduino-Based SPWM Control of an Inverter for Training

December 1, 2021 by Antonio Menacho, Manuel Blázquez, Pedro Plaza, Elio San Cristóbal, Sergio Martin, Clara Pérez, Manuel Castro, and Ramón Carrasco Borrego

Image of three gears.

In this work, a cost-effective sine pulse-width modulation (SPWM) control of an inverter has been implemented using Arduino UNO microcontroller, which can be used with various power stages. The proposed model is focused on power electronics training or learning. It allows users to practice the control of an inverter without the need to be in a face-to-face laboratory. The … [Read more...] about Cost-Effective Arduino-Based SPWM Control of an Inverter for Training
